I wasn’t the biggest fan of the first Holo-Ween series, which saw the Star Trek: The Next Generation crew dealing with classic monsters thanks to a holodeck malfunction.

However, I was cautiously optimistic about the sequel, which features my favourite incarnation of Trek ever: Deep Space Nine. Let’s check it out!

An important diplomatic summit is being held on Deep Space Nine, but as is almost always the case on the station, things can and do start going very wrong. Poor Miles O’Brien, born to suffer, is the first to suffer a mysterious mishap, but soon the entire station is cut off from outside communication and a Starfleet ship has mysteriously turned up to deal with a very concerning situation…

I was surprised at how much time is given to the preparation for the summit in this first issue, which (O’Brien incident aside) seems to move at an absolute snail’s pace. It’s overly wordy and the few incidents that do kick off here seem to be unrelated.

No doubt things will become clearer soon, but this issue is deeply unsatisfying in a vacuum. Still, the art is generally very pretty, with nicely cartoonish caricatures of the familiar DS9 crew.
