Could be a good start for a series of comics. The Easter Egg like text at the bottom of the Lower Decks section of this comic book was a little interesting.

Star Trek is my favorite franchise, so, of course, I picked up this FCBD issue. The first story begins with an unfamiliar character, Captain Meyerson, speaking to a cloaked Klingon. This Klingon treacherously kills the captain and is revealed to be Alexander, Worf’s estranged son. What is the Red Path he speaks of? The second story is set on the Lower Decks ship, with three of the ensigns visiting the holodeck. There is the usual bickering between Boimer and Mariner, with some funny digs towards the other shows.

Preview to the Star Trek Day of Blood. This issue is phenomenal with artwork and writing you should really read this issue.

Captain Meyerson waxes philosophical, about honor, to Valkor.
Meyerson has been invited, by the emperor of the Klingons, to a special festival.
History lessons, political rallies. Emperor Kahless…and why the people worship him…
Valkor’s surprise reveal.
Quite melodramatic. The illustrations are middling.
Also includes a short story from Star Trek: Lower Decks #1 called “All in a Sea of Wonders.”
Starts off exactly like other Lower Decks stories, though it does (slightly) differentiate itself.

I'm not quite sure how I feel about the reveal in the Day of Blood prelude. Also not sure how soon I can catch up on comics before reading that crossover. The Lower Decks comics preview was very fun holodeck stuff, though. Looks like that series translates as well into comics as I hoped and expected. Really want to read more of that.

A Starfleet Captain travels with a Klingon priest to Qo'Nos to watch a reenactment of Kahless' defence of the triple path, but becomes witness to a secret collusion between the Klingons and the Romulans which will threaten peace in the Quadrant.
Cantwell's prelude serves as a good advertisement for the upcoming 'Day of Blood' storyline.

Nice sampker
This FCBD 2023 giveaway presents two tales. First is an intriguing prelude to a summer crossover event featuring Worf and Sisko. Second is a short Lower Decks reprint which proved charming and amusing. One cannot argue the price!

OMG. This was my first ever Star Trek comic. I'm a long time fan of the franchise and have tried a few books and was kinda "meh" , but this was good prelude to the Day of Blood. So now I really want to read the day of blood when it is released!

I have always loved the Klingons.
Here they go all Warhammer 40k Blood for the Blood God and for a pretty out of character move, Alexander has been roped into the violent cult.
Going to see where this is going...

The hype is real for Day of Blood!! Honestly way cooler than I was expecting. Lower Decks was cute too.

Excellent preview.
Good color artwork, though the below decks preview is sort of Saturday morning cartoon quality. The day of blood is a Klingon heavy story.

I am sooooo intrigued by the Day of Blood storyline that's building up. Also loved the Lower Decks excerpt. Especially since there was an NX-01 reference!!! Love ENT.

Second story was better than the first prelude, it was really funny with the explanations and all.

I feel like I would've enjoyed the first 1 if I were a Trekkie, but the second one was really good and has led to me adding Lower Decks to my watch list.
