IDW Publishing has announced StarTrek: Day of Blood, a first-of-its-kind crossover event, with a Watchmen homage.
The Star Trek universe is heading toward the Day of Blood. IDW Publishing revealed the upcoming Star Trek comic book crossover -- the first of its kind -- via the solicitation for its FCBD 2023 Star Trek release, due out on the annual comic book celebration in 2023. The cover of the issue, created by Malachi Ward, shows a Starfleet combadge with blood streaming over it in front of a yellow and black background, possibly the uniform of a support services officer .
The story sees the crew of IDW Publishing's new ongoing Star Trek series, with the returned Benjamin Sisko in command, colliding with the rogue crew of the USS Defiant, featured in the spinoff series Star Trek: Defiant. The crossover's title suggests that they won't be meeting on friendly terms. You can see the cover below.
Star Trek has crossed over with other properties before, including crossovers with Doctor Who, Green Lantern, and Planet of the Apes under IDW's stewardship of the franchise. IDW previously engineered a franchise crossover, The Q Conflict, featuring the crews from Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager.
"This is real Star Trek," Star Trek co-writer Jackson Lanzing told ComicBook.com during an interview."This is as close as we can, on the comic side, to being canon. We will be canon until they un-canonize us. But we are working with the shows. We are in communication with the teams. We are encyclopedic Star Trek knowledge boys, so we're on Memory-Alpha all the time, but our brains are effectively little Memory-Alphas.
