For some, returning to the mouth of a wormhole might seem like a dangerous proposition, but for others—notably fans of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine—it’s a dream come true! To celebrate the three decades since the fan-favorite TV series debuted, IDW Publishing has announced the April 2023 launch of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine—The Dog of War, a wild new five-issue comic book miniseries bringing back everyone’s favorite space station crew.

The Dog of War marks the comic book debut of celebrated novelist Mike Chen, partnered with Star Trek comics artist extraordinaire Angel Hernandez to create a “lost episode” set within the timeline of the original Deep Space Nine show.

In the new miniseries, an extremely rare purebred corgi from Earth makes its way aboard Deep Space 9 when Quark cuts a deal to procure it for a potential buyer. After all, a Ferengi without profit is no Ferengi at all! But the corgi named Latinum comes with unexpected cargo that shakes Captain Benjamin Sisko to the core: a Borg component discovered by a crew sent to uncover Cardassian technology after the station’s reoccupation.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine—The Dog of War #1 will be available in April with several variant covers for fans and retailers to enjoy, including Cover A by series artist Angel Hernandez; a wraparound Cover B by Chris Fenogolio, featuring the cast of Star Trek: Lower Decks; and Cover C by longtime My Little Pony artist Andy Price (connecting with covers across all five issues to create an amazing diorama of DS9 characters with lookalike canine companions), plus special retailer incentives including a black-and-white variant of Hernandez’ cover and two Deep Space 9 schematics variants with and without trade dress.
