Official synopsis:

Having revealed their true godlike identity, T’Lir is relying on Captain Sisko to help repair Kahless’ damage to space-time and save their species from extinction. Despite the Prophets’ eerie warning that Sisko is forbidden at the Pleroma—a meeting place for god-level species at intersecting space-time coordinates—he and his crew head to the Utopia Planitia Federation Shipyards for a retrofit to the Theseus in preparation to boldly take on the unknown. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure from Section 31 approaches Lily with a mission, claiming the Federation’s future is in her hands.

Star Trek #500 Special Issue Coming in September!

For the past few years, the Star Trek comic license has been ably and, if I may say, expertly maintained by IDW. Their comics have spanned all eras of the Star Trek universe, from Enterprise and The Original Series all the way up to the adventures of the U.S.S. Discovery in the 32nd century. After consistently bringing us fun and exciting tales month after month, IDW is celebrating their landmark 500th (!) Star Trek comic issue!

Star Trek #500 will feature seven stories from different eras of the Star Trek universe, and will serve as a prelude to another massive crossover event which will be appearing on newsstands in 2025. And the creator lineup is impressive, including Patton Oswalt, Christopher Cantwell, Jackson Lanzing & Collin Kelly, Mags Visaggio, and more!

Here's the official synopsis from IDW:

Official synopsis:

Jake, Nog, and Alexander find themselves stuck in a never-ending loop of being blown to smithereens aboard the U.S.S. Avery and then revived by Q Jr.-who insists he's helping them learn some lesson unbeknownst to them. Amid the attack from the Breen, the Avery crew and their strong-willed, bureaucratic captain, Skrain Dukat, refuse to listen to the trio's musings about an alternate universe. Left with no other choice, they are forced to begrudgingly work together and attempt to step into their Starfleet roles in hopes of helping the Federation ship survive the attack and return home...or be stuck in this alternate reality forever!
