Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - The Dog of War
Solicitation: BORK! An extremely rare purebred corgi from Earth makes its way aboard Deep Space 9 when Quark cuts a deal to procure it for a high buyer. After all, a Ferengi without profit is no Ferengi at all! But Latinum the corgi 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. Don't miss out on this exclusive "lost episode" celebrating the 30th anniversary of the fan-favorite show Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and debut comic series by acclaimed author Mike Chen (Star Wars: Brotherhood) and Star Trek comics artist extraordinaire Angel Hernandez!

The Dog of War #1 will be available with several variant covers, 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 Andy Price (connecting with covers across all five issues to create a diorama of DS9 characters with lookalike canine companions), plus retailer incentives including a black-and-white variant of Hernandez' cover and two Deep Space Nine schematics variants with and without trade dress. Author Mike Chen tweeted that this lost episode takes place between Season 6 episodes His Way and Valiant.
