DESCRIBED BY STAR TREK: Defiant scripter Christopher Cantwell as "our Infinity Gauntlet", Star Trek: Day Of Blood sees the crew of Worf's stolen starship join forces with Star Trek's Benjamin Sisko-led USS Theseus in a blockbuster comic book crossover, as they take on the mounting threat of the immortal Klingon Emperor Kahless II.
"It's at the centre of our plans for the line," says Jackson Lanzing, who co-writes Star Trek, IDW's flagship Trek title, with his regular writing partner Collin Kelly. "We set out on this path with the north star of treating Star Trek with the same wild storytelling, interlocking structure and epic objectives as our favourite superhero comics - and nothing allows for comics storytelling quite like a gigantic summer event.
"The thread of Kahless II and the Red Path is simply too large, too powerful and too devastating to be traded between Star Trek and Defiant forever. At some point, a reckoning would have to come, and that's what Day Of Blood is all about."
BLOODY KLINGONS
Beginning with an oversized one-shot by Cantwell, Kelly, Lanzing and Star Trek artist Ramon Rosanas, before continuing for the next two months in the pages of both Star Trek and Star Trek: Defiant, the five-part storyline has been a long time in the making. "We've been building up to Day Of Blood since August 2020 when Star Trek: Year Five 13 was released," recalls Lanzing.

Making Alien - Jaws in Space - Forty-five years on from its original release, Alien continues to terrify. We dissect what arguably remains the most chilling instalment in the saga
The seven-strong crew of the commercial mining spacecraft the Nostromo seal their fate after reluctantly responding to a mysterious distress signal on a hostile planet. Here, a face-hugging alien from a derelict ship impregnates and later kills executive officer Kane (John Hurt) after its offspring is birthed onboard. After being unleashed, the fearsome newborn with acid for blood proceeds to dispatch the remainder of the crew.Ridley Scott's much more convoluted prequels have yet to reveal how the knowledge that led to this initial interception was acquired. However, the premise of the original Alien is perfect in its uncomplicated purity.
