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.
Seriously, Star Trek: Lore War #1 is one hell of a start to the next big Star Trek event. Day of Blood was an epic story, and this feels like the creative team turned the dial to 11. As has been the case since IDW took on Star Trek comics, the character voices and likenesses continue to ring true, making this another crossover that we could only have hoped for in our dreams.

Star Trek: Lore War #1 is a brilliant opening gambit in IDW's biggest Trek event to date. Smartly paced to ease the audience in to reality-shifting changes. But also beautifully rendered with plenty of nods to the wider Trek universe and everything which is at stake. Cantwell, Kelly and Lanzing are easily proving why their Star Trek is both genre-defining and some of the best storytelling in the franchise. Read Full Review
Overall, this is a strong opening issue that does a solid job of introducing the various factions we'll no doubt learn more about as the story unfolds. I can't wait to see what happens next. Read Full Review
Star Trek: Lore War #1 gets off to an impressive start as this current run of Star Trek builds to an epic finale. Pick up a copy or Lore might banish you to work as a scrubber on a Malon freighter. Read Full Review
Star Trek: Lore War #1 separates itself from other major comic book events by taking its time to explore its new reality, though it still features the character work and gorgeous art that make IDW's Star Trek comics such a great read. Trek fans will definitely want to pick this issue up, and the rest of the crossover as this only scratches the surface. Read Full Review
Tinto delivers some impressive art throughout the issue. I love the character designs and how the technology is both new and familiar. A great looking issue. Read Full Review
Star Trek: Lore War #1 arrives at a time when the Star Trek franchise is going through an identity crisis and while the creators of the comic book event couldnt have known these conversations would be taking place at the time of its debut the story feels no less timely for it. The Star Trek of the franchises golden era, where intensely competent people apply their crafts to problems to uphold a future that is as close to perfect as a 20th-century-human could imagine, is replaced by a world built on conflict for the sake of conflict, where real change is impossible and better futures are beyond imagining. Star Trek: Lore War #1 kicks off a fight for Star Treks very soul, as told in a story with a scope like Star Trek fans have never seen before. Read Full Review
