The single most devious mind \"\"<\/a>in the universe has won. Commander Data\u2019s evil brother, Lore, has used the Orb of Destruction to obliterate all of reality and remake it in his image while declaring himself its God. Now that Lore has claimed the ultimate victory, what happens next?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

IDW Publishing is thrilled to announce LORE WAR, the compelling crossover event that has been planned since the STAR TREK line of comics relaunched two years ago with the Eisner-nominated milestone issue STAR TREK #400.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cover A by Malachi Ward<\/p>\n

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,\u201d remarked Lanzing. \u201dThe ultimate STAR TREK comics crossover event – as the heroes and villains of the galaxy must band together to defend its very existence.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cSince the line\u2019s inception, our grander story in both titles has dealt with STAR TREK\u2019s concept of godlike beings and the rejection of those godlike beings \u2014 order and entropy as it exists throughout the four quadrants of the galaxy,\u201d added Cantwell. \u201cWho 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“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?\u201d stated Kelly. \u201cFeaturing 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.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Group Editor Heather Antos is thrilled to have fans finally see what they\u2019ve been planning since the very beginning of the relaunch. \u201cIt’s all been building to this moment. No, literally. From the original prelude in STAR TREK #400 two years ago the road map has always led to LORE WAR. When Collin, Jackson, and Christopher first embarked on this mission we asked the question \u2018Can a man be both man and a god?\u2019 Well now Lore is answering.\u201d<\/p>\n

 STAR TREK: LORE WAR #1 boldly beams into shops on March 26, 2025, and the crossover features primary covers by artist Malachi Ward. Fans can pre-order from their local comic shop. STAR TREK #500, which features the prelude story, is on sale now.<\/p>\n
