I’m a huge fan of comic books and deep space nine I saw that two new comic series came out “star trek defiant” and “star trek dog of war” the series are quite expensive for someone who doesn’t have a lot of money, I just wanna ask those of you who’ve read em are they worth picking up?

The mods have decided to have weekly comic reviews to help get the Treklit (book and comic) discussion going here.
Suggest you look at the thread under @USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website’s pinned review this week of the newest issues of Defiant and Dog of War. You can also scan their listing of posts for other comic reviews. (I believe an earlier issue of Dog of War was reviewed a couple of weeks back.)
I haven’t myself got to these two series yet. (I usually wait for the omnibuses.)
My own take on IDW’s StarTrek comics is that they are picking up again overall in writing, art and even printing/binding after what seems to have been a bit of a meh period of mixed quality. Definitely worth checking out if you are into comics and open to stories that take place in timelines other than the onscreen alpha canonical ones.
My unexpected favourite recently has been the Lower Decks series. I was very doubtful that they could find a writer who could capture the humour and voice of the show. Eisner winner Ryan North nailed it, and Chris Fenoglio’s art is true to the animation.
Personally I’m loving both the Star Trek ongoing, and Star Trek: Defiant. I haven’t read the Dog of War series at all though.
If you’re looking for DS9 content specifically, Star Trek: Defiant might not scratch that itch for you. It’s got Worf, and it’s got the Defiant, but that’s it. The rest of the crew are characters from other series.
Star Trek is the book about Sisko returning from sojourning with the Prophets. There’s definitely some interconnectedness between the to titles, though.
