Deep Space Nine is quickly becoming our favorite Star Trek series.  Not that we didn't love it before, but since we've been revisiting the series again lately it's creeping it's way to the top. 

We just got wind of a new series of comics that will be released by IDW this December focusing on DS9.  Naturally we're excited.  Who doesn't want more adventures with Sisco and the gang.  Sure, he's a non-corporeal being now, but we don't discriminate.

Check out the deets and artwork below.

This week, we're happy to announce that we're adding DEEP SPACE NINE comics to our expanding slate of STAR TREK titles. DS9 has long been the most-requested new title fans have asked for since we started doing TREK comics a couple years back. The first DS9 series, "Fools Gold," is being solicited for December release. So it'll be available for pre-order in tomorrow's Previews.

STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE: FOOL'S GOLD #1

Written by Scott Tipton and David Tipton, art by Fabio Mantovani, covers by The Sharp Brothers. Variant covers by David Messina.

Captain Sisko and the crew of Deep Space Nine make their triumphant return to comics! When the station begins to be overrun by thieves, treasure-seekers, bounty-hunters and other assorted ne'er-do-wells, Major Kira and Constable Odo must find out why. Can they get to the bottom of it before the station's new visitors bring things to a boiling point? (source Chris Ryall's blog; Editor-in-chief IDW publishing)
