"Blood Will Tell, Issue 4", scripted under the title "Blood Reign O'er Me", was the fourth comic issued in the Klingons: Blood Will Tell miniseries.
Description[]
- Another look at the struggle between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, from the perspective of the galaxy's fiercest warriors, the Klingons! This month, a handful of Klingons battle for control of a Federation starship in this alternate view of the classic "Day of the Dove". Will they be able to commandeer one of their enemies' most powerful vessels? Or are they themselves merely pawns in a larger plot?
