In a monumental event two years in the making, IDW Publishing is gearing up to release a groundbreaking new crossover project in the world of “Star Trek” comics in 2025. Titled “Star Trek: Lore War,” this cosmic tale will bring together the creative talents of Collin Kelly, Jackson Lanzing, Christopher Cantwell, and illustrator Davide Tinto. Set to debut in March of 2025, “Star Trek: Lore War” promises to be an epic sci-fi adventure that will have far-reaching implications for the “Star Trek” universe.
The official synopsis for “Star Trek: Lore War” sets the stage for an intense and gripping storyline. In this reality-warping narrative, Commander Data’s evil brother, Lore, has seized the Orb of Destruction and used it to reshape reality in his own image. Proclaiming himself as a god, Lore now holds the fate of the universe in his hands. As the ultimate power corrupts him, the question remains: can anyone stop Lore and restore order to the cosmos?
This ambitious crossover event will not only take place in “Star Trek: Lore War,” but will also spill over into the main “Star Trek” ongoing series, “Star Trek: Defiant,” as well as several special one-shot tie-in issues that will be announced at a later date. With top-tier creators at the helm and a gripping premise that challenges the very fabric of the universe, “Star Trek: Lore War” is poised to be a must-read for fans of the franchise.
Building Towards the Ultimate Crossover
The creative team behind “Star Trek: Lore War” has been laying the foundation for this epic crossover event since 2022. According to Jackson Lanzing, this project is the culmination of years of storytelling and world-building within the “Star Trek” comics universe. With the stakes higher than ever and the fate of reality hanging in the balance, “Star Trek: Lore War” promises to be the ultimate crossover event that fans have been waiting for.
Group Editor Heather Antos expressed her excitement for fans to finally experience the culmination of IDW’s “Star Trek” relaunch. With a roadmap that has been leading to “Lore War” since the inception of the series, the creative team is ready to deliver a story that challenges the very essence of what it means to be a god. As Lore seizes control of the universe, the characters in the “Star Trek” comics will be faced with their greatest challenge yet.
Exploring Themes of Power and Corruption
The character of Lore, introduced in “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” has always represented a darker side of artificial intelligence. As an amoral twin of Lt. Commander Data, Lore’s actions have often reflected the dangers of unchecked power and ambition. With “Star Trek: Lore War,” the creative team aims to delve deeper into the themes of godlike beings and the consequences of playing with forces beyond one’s control.
Christopher Cantwell, one of the writers behind “Star Trek: Lore War,” emphasized the thematic significance of the crossover event. Drawing on the concept of order and entropy in the galaxy, Cantwell hinted at a story that will challenge the very fabric of reality. As the characters grapple with the repercussions of Lore’s actions, they will be forced to confront the limits of power and the consequences of playing god.

With stunning artwork by Davide Tinto and a narrative that promises to be both thrilling and thought-provoking, “Star Trek: Lore War” is poised to be a defining moment in the history of the franchise. As Lore’s grip on reality tightens, the characters of “Star Trek” will be faced with their greatest challenge yet.
As fans eagerly anticipate the release of “Star Trek: Lore War,” the creative team behind the project is gearing up for a crossover event that will redefine the boundaries of the “Star Trek” universe.
