Opening here with a quick reminder: if you’re reading this on a site other than midlifegamergeek.com, it’s been stolen. Please visit midlifegamergeek.com to see not only the original post, but exactly how it was written before going through a rudimentary AI filter which has no clue how to write!

Anyway, to get down to business properly here at MLGG Towers, here’s a review of a classic Star Trek comic, from a beloved era of the franchise, and an equally fondly remembered spin off show: Deep Space Nine.

In this issue, a Bajoran baby is dropped off at Quark’s quarters, leading to most of the main cast of characters (as they were in season 2 at least, with this issue being published between seasons 2 and 3) taking care of the baby in turn, while also dealing with a Starfleet-mandated station inspection.

It’s very entertaining, gently amusing stuff, and writer Charles Marshall really gets each of the voices and quirks of the individual characters exactly right. Artist Leonard Kirk does a fantastic job with each likeness, and Moose Baumann’s colouring is a little more understated than you’ll find in most Malibu comics of the era, thanks to the slightly darker palette found in the source material.

I really miss this type of comic; it’s so rare these days to pick up a single issue and be able to enjoy it on its own, as most comics stay away from the done-in-one formula in favour of writing multi-part stories that flow as a collected edition, for a longer shelf life in bookstores.

It’s such a joy to pick up a random back issue and just be entertained by a complete story, and I definitely wish that was something the industry would go back to.

Shout out to the awesome Southampton Comics, where I bought my copy of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine #12.
