Written by : Mike Chen
Art by: Angel Hernandez

With stolen Starfleet data on its way to the Dominion, Captain Sisko dons the mysterious Borg headset in an attempt to stop the transmission! Meanwhile, Major Kira and Lieutenant Commander Dax race to keep their new crewmember and prized corgi off the black market.  
 

Star Trek: Defiant #6
Written by : Christopher Cantwell
Art by: Angel Unzueta

The crossover event between Star Trek and Star Trek: Defiant continues here in part two of Day of Blood! Worf and Sisko begin their trek to Kahless' spire to stop the false prophet's siege of Qo'noS with each other being the last man either wants to rely on. Meanwhile, Spock takes the bridge of the Theseus, reuniting with his old friend Captain Montgomery Scott and desperately attempting to keep the Red Path's Bloodwings at bay.

It's been a busy week, but I finally got a chance to read Defiant. There's a lot crammed into the book, and most of it is fun.

• Personally I'm tired of Sisko and Worf's bickering at this point. Their fallout seemed pretty flimsy when it happened, and here Worf's dragging up a bunch of old problems from their time together on DS9 did not work for me.

• Similarly Tom and B'Elanna's bickering didn't really move the needle.

• I did like Sela, Doctor Crusher, and the Defiant's unnamed Orion drug dealer/medic rushing to save Martok that's good stuff.

• The highlight of the issue is definitely the Data Lore interactions. I especially liked their conversation as they run through the streets of Qo'noS incapacitating Red Path followers without even pausing. Data's always had the potential to be so much scarier than he is, and it worked really well here.

Are these Trek cannon? Look very neat!

[–] USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The general rule is that the only things considered Trek canon are what has appeared on screen in a series are film. But a lot of the comics are fun, regardless.

Good enough for me :)
