Creators Collin Kelly, Jackson Lansing, Christopher Cantwell, and Davide Tinto are teaming up for a crossover between the Star Trek regular comic series and Star Trek: Defiant for a one-shot: Star Trek: Lore War. The issue comes to stores March 26, 2025.
Here’s what the team has to say:
“This is it. The moment we’ve been building to since the Theseus left spacedock and the Defiant was stolen,” remarked Lanzing. ”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.”
Group Editor Heather Antos is thrilled to have fans finally see what they’ve been planning since the very beginning of the relaunch. “It’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 ‘Can a man be both man and a god?’ Well now Lore is answering.”
