IDW is killing it with Trek these days. :)
I love the 90s feel to these. Like harking back to the Trek golden age.
Either Sisko’s grown since his return from the prophets or the orbs have shrunk, because that’s one tiny orb ark.
It will be interesting to see one of the Lower Decks characters drawn in a more realistic art style.
Well, this is set what…2 1/2 years before season 1 of “Lower Decks”…. so who’s in Starfleet at this time…..
The art on the “Spock” cover is fantastic. The Star Trek III Saavik is a perfect likeness. The “dogs” of war covers are pretty comical, especially the one with Odo, but oh so ridiculous!
These dog covers might actually get my girlfriend to care about Deep Space 9.
Absolutely love the Spock cover, chronicling his entire life from DSC to SNW to TOS to TNG. I wish they got baby Spock with Sarek and Amanda in there, as well as campfire with Kelvin Kirk though!
The weird thing is that it goes chronologically except for the Pike photo.
I want a poster of it … somehow.
What’s the plot for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine – Dogs of War #2? It’s showing the same synopsis as the above Star Trek flagship title.
With Zoe Saldana becoming the first actor to star in 4 movies that have grossed more than 2 billion dollars each I think Paramount better get it in gear and sign the Kelvin cast for a 3 movie deal or go for a fresh cast and new story, otherwise it’s looking like almost the whole cast is going to be priced out with the possible exception of Cho and Quinto.
Yeah, Pine is getting up there too. Urban and Pegg were high in demand already.
Now THAT’S what we call a “fun fact.” I want to see more of her Uhura.
Sisko hugging Kassidy while grabbing Jake’s shoulder is perfect. When I saw that picture I had to enlarge to see what he was doing to Jake, and I love it.
Yeah, that’s a beautiful cover!
