A Halloween mystery unfolds on Deep Space 9!
On the eve of a high-stakes diplomatic summit, Deep Space 9 is thrown into chaos by a sudden communications blackout and a string of deeply unsettling incidents. With senior leadership called away, Worf, Dax, Odo, and Bashir must hold the station together as tensions rise among visiting dignitaries.
Then, a distressed starship arrives with explosive claims — and one member of the DS9 crew stands accused of murder. As suspicion spreads and paranoia takes hold, a creeping sense of dread settles over the Promenade. And somewhere inside the station’s holosuites, something has gone terrifyingly wrong…
A locked-station thriller begins here.

That’s right, Godzilla is finally coming to Emerald City to meet the Wizard, and once it’s here, every land will be Munchkinland. Maybe the Cowardly Lion was on to something.
Brought to you by superstar artist Ryan Browne (8 Billion Genies, Lucky Devils, Curse Words) and Mike Costa (Venom, Spider-Verse). Also featuring the final part of Tom Scioli’s “Godzilla vs. Robin Hood”!

Follow along with Nuki, Rumi, Incense, and Riviera as they try desperately to stop the monster they’ve created.

These books join Major Thomás written by Omar Morales with art by Mau Mora and Serg Acuna (on sale January 12, 2027 / January 13, 2027), Endless written by Curt Pires and various artists (on sale February 23, 2027 / February 24, 2027), She’s Running on Fumes written by Dennis Hopeless with art by Tyler Jenkins (on sale March 23, 2027 / March 24, 2027), The Tormented written by Chuck Austen with art by Patrick Olliffe (on sale May 18, 2027 / May 19, 2027), and Quiet written by Kim-Joy with art by Alti (on sale summer 2027), which were announced earlier this year.
