The crew of Deep Space Nine are held captive on the station, leaving the two teenage boys, Jake and Nog, to find a bomb and fire it out of an airlock before it’s too late.

This is a fun little one off tale, as most of Malibu’s Deep Space Nine comics are, and it gives more of a spotlight to Jake and Nog than they were usually afforded at this stage of the show’s run.

It’s got an amusing punchline too, and though it is very lightweight, it’s definitely the kind of comic that I really miss.

These days, it’s incredibly rare to just be able to pick up a single issue and have a complete story from beginning to end, or to know exactly what’s going on without needing to read a ton of background material to make sure you’re up to speed.

Malibu’s Deep Space Nine run, while not perfect, excelled in little bite sized stories which tried not to interfere with anything important on the show, and as such even stand alone if you haven’t caught up with the entirety of the series yet (which describes me perfectly; it’s taken me over 30 years, but I finally made the effort to start watching Deep Space Nine this year, and I’m about halfway through it!).

The added bonus is that these comics tend to sell very cheaply, so they’re great for a nostalgic pick-me-up, without having to break the bank or invest in a bigger set of comics.
