Better minds than I can surely correct me, but I feel like there’s not a lot of basis for intra-Star Trek crossovers.¹ Yes, the novels Destiny and Coda et al.; yes, “Unification” and “Relics”; yes, Q Conflict, etc. But what we find in Star Trek: Day of Blood — two titles, two crews, all mashed together in one story — that feels more rare Trek-wise (what IDW calls “the first,” though see all the other caveats above).

But it is not so rare, though maybe rarely done to its fullest potential, in comics. And here I’d say, in terms of comic book crossovers, Day of Blood is very good. Yup, this is mostly five main issues of people just running around, and yup, it takes about four issues from when captains Benjamin Sisko and Worf set off from the Defiant wreckage until they get where they’re going. Again, however, the respective crews are all mashed together, the side quests follow from issue to issue, and we get most of the cross-team team-ups we could want — it’s not particularly science-forward Star Trek, but as a comics crossover, not bad.
