IDW Star Trek Prelude to Day of Blood    

Part 1 of 5 - Star Trek: Day of Blood One-shot

The emperor of the Klingon Empire, Kahless II, will declare war on all those who do not follow the cult of the Red Path! Having raided ancient tombs, claimed near-limitless power for himself, and slaughtered cosmic entities across the stars, Kahless sees the genocide of gods as simply his first step to total domination. The iconic crew of the U.S.S. Theseus, led by Benjamin Sisko, and the renegades who follow a desperate, violent Worf aboard the U.S.S. Defiant must unite for a common cause. Only together can they hope to stop the Day of Blood!

But his clone, Kahless II, has gone too far, murdering innocents in cold blood and hungering for power that can no longer be sated.
