Star Trek: Deep Space Nine--The Dog of War by Mike Chen

 

Star Trek is my fandom. I saw Star Trek IV in the theater in 1986 when I was ten.   I remember when I became a Trekkie (spring of 1989) and I have loved Trek ever since. If you re curious, my current ranking of best Trek series as of today is:

LDS

TNG

DS9

SNW

PRO

DSC

TOS

VOY

PIC

TAS

ENT

But this could change tomorrow.  I have been a Next Gen fan since season 2, and have been to more than my fair share of Trek conventions. I remember as a kid picking up Star Trek comics at a Creation convention and being so excited to get more stories from the Enterprise.  I recently have started reading more Star Trek comics (I just finished and enjoyed Godshock) so I was happy to get an eARC of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine--The Dog of War by Mike Chen from IDW and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The story was fun and light. Set during the Dominion War, shortly after the retaking of DS9, it involves everyone going wild over a corgi that Quark has acquired while  also dealing with some recently found Borg technology. The overall story is very frivolous, and the characterization and likenesses of some of the characters feel off, but it is mostly a fun romp.  It was an enjoyable way to pass the time.
