It All Comes Down to This! Star Trek: Omega is Out Today

Star Trek: Omega #1
Star Trek & Star Trek: Defiant Finale


After over 60 interconnected issues between Star Trek, Star Trek: Defiant, and the various crossovers and spin-offs, the ongoing adventures of Sisko and his crew, and Worf and his crew, are coming to an end.

Sisko has led the good guys to victory over Lore and his twisted version of reality. But what comes next? In this issue that wraps up the ongoing storylines from IDW since 2022, Star Trek: Omega attempts to answer that question.

Official synopsis:
Two and a half years of comics spanning 60 years of Star Trek history, a fair few awards, and more than a few universe detonations, and it’s all been coming to this… Star Trek: Omega is the denouement of the critically acclaimed Star Trek and Star Trek: Defiant storylines, and the first glimpse at all that comes next. The crews of the Theseus, Defiant, and Enterprise set to work restoring the universe to what it should be after the evil android Lore’s intervention. Each hero finds their peace in preordained or unexpected ways, with individual scenes depicted by one of Star Trek’s or Defiant’s mainline artists! This finale pays tribute to all those involved in the series Screen Rant calls “the gold standard for ambitious comic book storytelling.”

Official synopsis:
In a moment of mother-daughter bonding, Captain Freeman continues the story of how she was once a nobody screw-up just like Mariner!
Where she last left off, Dr. Katherine Pulaski had taken the helm of the U.S.S. Illinois in its clash with a Romulan warbird — but, as feared, Pulaski's brilliant track record of crashing spacecraft isn't doing her any favors in the encounter. Freeman and Durango are called upon to save the day. If the crew is to survive, the two ensigns need to rise to the challenge of command, and fast.
