Star Trek: Defiant, Vol. 3: Hell Is Only A Word

Connecting with the voyages of the ongoing Star Trek comic series, Vol. 3 ventures into the sci-fi horror genre in the third arc!

Eager to move past the unofficial bounty-hunting mission assigned to them by Starfleet, disgraced former ambassador and Starfleet legend Worf and his rogue crew make way for Starbase 99, a run-down remnant of the Dominion War, to complete their fugitive drop-off. The clandestine assignment has left them disillusioned with Starfleet and with one another, but a surprise awaits the Defiant crew, threatening to tear them apart even further—literally.

Written by Christopher Cantwell (Hellcat, Star Wars: Obi-Wan), drawn by Ángel Unzueta (Iron Man, Star Wars: Poe Dameron), and colored by Marissa Louise (Defiant, Black Manta) with letters by Clayton Cowles (Batman, Daredevil).

This volume collects issues #12–16.
