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.

      The current IDW Trek titles are actually pretty solid, especially the main Star Trek and Defiant books. Good mix of characters from different shows and an obvious love for the history of the shows. Licensed books have always been a bit of a crap shoot, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by this current batch of Trek comics.
