IDW Publishing just celebrated the 500th issue of Star Trek, and for the encore, the publisher announced Lore is returning in a crossover event in March 2025.
Beginning in STAR TREK: LORE WAR #1 from acclaimed creators Collin Kelly, Jackson Lanzing, Christopher Cantwell, and Davide Tinto, the crossover event will include the STAR TREK flagship ongoing series, STAR TREK: DEFIANT, and special one-shot tie-in issues. “This is it. The moment we’ve been building to since the Theseus left spacedock and the Defiant was stolen,” remarked Lanzing in a press release. ”The ultimate STAR TREK comics crossover event – as the heroes and villains of the galaxy must band together to defend its very existence.”
“Since the line’s inception, our grander story in both titles has dealt with STAR TREK’s concept of godlike beings and the rejection of those godlike beings — order and entropy as it exists throughout the four quadrants of the galaxy,” added Cantwell. “Who pulls the strings and who dares to cut them? LORE WAR is quite literally the apotheosis of that shared theme, two years in the making.”
“The gods are dead, and only one mad android holds the reins of our universe. With absolute power comes absolute corruption… but does it come with absolute control?” stated Kelly. “Featuring the incredible art of Davide Tinto – a newcomer to the Trek world – we’re not settling for anything less than the most impressive and world-ending STAR TREK event that comics can contain.
Star Trek: Lore War #1 arrives on march 26, 2025.
