Star Trek #9

There were so many standout moments in this issue, but the insane amount of joy that Lt. Shaxs is having throughout the battle was truly incredible. Enthusiasm is infectious, and the energy from the writers and the characters comes through wonderfully with each and every page turn. I also loved Lily's continued character growth, putting the excited Bajoran in his place as she expertly does her job. Lieutenant Descheeni as the crew's “cavalry” was equally as impressive, leading to an engaging discussion with Commander Data and a memorable entrance on the station. The Red Path continues to get more and more dangerous with each passing issue, and I am excited (yet scared) to see what the creative teams for Star Trek & Star Trek: Defiant have in store for readers with the upcoming release of Day of Blood.  Read Full Review

Splitting the party rarely works out for the best, a fact that the crew of the Theseus is learning the hard way in another stellar ‘Star Trek' issue. Everything about this series is just clicking as it taps into what makes the franchise best while adding logical new pieces to that foundation. Read Full Review

Bracchi delivers some fantastic imagery throughout the issue. The action scenes are fantastic and perfectly complement the political drama happening with Sisko. Read Full Review

OverallThis was a solid issue that features some great new Star Trek moments for us to enjoy. I particularly liked seeing Gul Dukat make a return. Even in his Pah Wraith Spirit form. The issue also ends on a brilliant cliffhanger. Read Full Review

Mike Feehan and Manuel Bracchi acquit themselves well, with one moment in particular of Sisko awaiting Cardassian judgment bringing the weight of the moment to bear on both character and reader with appreciable scale. It's a compelling read that should delight Star Trek fans. Read Full Review
