IDW - Star Trek: Lore War


The single most devious mind in the universe has won. Commander Data’s 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?

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. "The ultimate STAR TREK comics crossover event - as the heroes and villains of the galaxy must band together to defend its very existence."

Issue 1

The all-new crossover event between Star Trek and Defiant is here! From the Eisner-nominated writers of Star Trek, Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly; the critically acclaimed writer of Star Trek: Defiant, Christopher Cantwell; and artist Davide Tinto, Lore War #1 shows us a universe rebuilt in Lore's image. The crews of the Theseus and the Defiant scattered across the universe with no memory of who they once were-some even worship Lore as their God. Lore has won; his rule is absolute. But The Sisko remains, and there are forces who wish to remind him of his power.

Defiant Issue 26 - Lore War, part two of five

On one side of the war, Worf, Shaxs, Alexander, and others who once valued honor above all have now been designed by the malevolent android Lore to uphold his dictatorial rule; on the other side, a rebel Maquis fleet, Kahless II, Beverly, Sisko, and all those who know the truth behind their current reality endeavor to tear it down with what little resources they have. But not everything is as hopeless as it seems: There are allies hidden in the unlikeliest of places and assets—like the famous USS Phoenix—that escape even the all-seeing positronic eye of Lore.

Star Trek: Lore War - Shaxs' Worst Day

From the team who brought you the Ringo- and Eisner-nominated Shaxs' Best Day comes a rip-roaring ride full of clever ship high jinks, nonstop badassery, and bombastic punches… because at the end of the day, let's face it, it's not Shaxs' worst day, it's fascism's. Shaxs had his best day, but now that the universe has been rewritten by the mad android Lore, he's about to have his worst. Starfleet has been distorted into a machinery of oppression antithetical to everything it once stood for, and Shaxs has been made into the one thing he despises most in the universe: a fascist. Now free of Lore's hold over his mind, it's up to Shaxs to revert everyone in Starfleet back to their old selves and save the cosmos.
