Star Trek: DS9 Returns To Comic Book Frontiers
Written by Ian Cullen on October 1, 2009 – 11:35 am -
In recent years we’ve seen comic book series based on original Star Trek, Star Trek: The Next Generation and even Star Trek: Voyager. But it’s been quite some time since we’ve seen a comic book series based on the crew and characters of Deep Space Nine.
As our resident DS9 aficionados Wayne Hall and his brother Randy will point out, the last comic book series, which utilized the characters and crew of DS9 was done by Wildstorm Comics back in 2000, and it only had a short run. Before that Marvel Comics did a series, which was set during the final season of the series. Essentially meaning that a comic book adaptation of Deep Space Nine hasn’t been released in 9 years.
So it was only a matter of time before IDW who currently have use of the rights to produce comics based in the Star Trek Universe got around to bringing back the much loved characters from Star Trek’s edgiest series.
The bad news is we’ll have to wait until December to read it.
The new comic series is to be titled Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Fools Gold and is written by Scott Tipton and David Tipton with art by Fabio Mantovani and covers by The Sharp Brothers.
The synopsis of this first DS9 comic series for nine years is below:
Captain Sisko and the crew of Deep Space Nine make their triumphant return to comics! When the station begins to be overrun by thieves, treasure-seekers, bounty-hunters and other assorted ne’er-do-wells, Major Kira and Constable Odo must find out why. Can they get to the bottom of it before the station’s new visitors bring things to a boiling point?
The comic will be 32 pages and will retail for $3.99 and is due to beam onto comic racks in December.
