    Star Trek Deep Space Nine - The Dog of War
    Sep 28 2024
    Join us as we go back to the year 1998, when Star Trek Deep Space Nine was in its sixth (penultimate) season. Mike Chen and Angel Hernandez give us a new, missing episode with 'The Dog of War,' an exploration of just what it would be like if a rare corgi came to the station...and some rogue Borg technology! We discuss the challenge of fitting a new "episode" within an already heavily serialized portion of the show, writing characters with a unique voice, and even the strangeness of addressing the Borg this late in the series' life. So get out your latinum, hold on to your raktajino, and take a runabout back to your favorite space station: Deep Space Nine!

    Part of Brian Michael Bendis' Jinxworld imprint, Pearl follows the exploits of a young tatoo artist in San Francisco trying to navigate the seedy world of the Yakuza! With Bendis on writing and Michael Gaydos on art, this crime thriller has one of the most high profile teams in comics...but can they deliver like they did with Jessica Jones? Joe and Mike discuss similarities to Tatantino, the problem with making an invincible protagonist, and the issues that can crop up with style-over-substance storytelling. And yes...they still find a way to work in a Star Trek reference!
