American television producer and comics writer who wrote IDW's Star Trek: Defiant from 2023, a series in which Worf leads an unlikely crew aboard the USS Defiant.
Christopher Cantwell, co-creator of the television drama Halt and Catch Fire, began writing Star Trek: Defiant for IDW in 2023 as a companion to the flagship Star Trek comic by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly.
In the series Worf breaks away from Sisko's mission and takes the Defiant on his own pursuit, with a crew that includes Spock, B'Elanna Torres, Ro Laren and Lore.
The two books came together in the 2023 crossover Day of Blood, which Cantwell co-wrote, in which a fanatical Kahless launches a crusade and Worf's son Alexander is caught up on the enemy side.
