Is This The Most Unexpected Star Trek Crossover Ever? (Spoilers)

Is This The Most Unexpected Star Trek Crossover Ever.. for the first time since Spock made his journey? (Spoilers)

The ongoing Star Trek comic book series published by IDW puts out its twenty-fifth issue today by Collin Kelly, Jackson Lanzing and Liana Kangas, with a Star Trek team combined from across the franchises and battling Lore, who has shunted the team into fluidic space. So we have Data, Benjamin Sisko, Descheeni, Beverly Crusher, Lily Sato, Miral and Tom Paris, Montgomery Scott, T'Lir and The Doctor all together on the Theseus, doing their best to get where they need to go and get back to where they once were, ahead of the upcoming Lore War for 2025. But there's one aspect of the franchise that has not been touched on.

And that's when something happens that hasn't happened before. A new confrontation. With the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A. But not any old USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A.

It's the one from the Kelvin Universe, comprised of the Star Trek movies running from 2009, a parallel universe created in the year 2233 with the temporal incursion of the Narada, a Romulan civilian mining vessel under the command of Nero, from the year 2387 that led to the attack on the USS Kelvin, the launch of the USS Enterprise in 2258, and the destruction of the planet Vulcan by the Narada. And with a Captain Kirk who looks a bit like Chris Pine rather than William Shatner, as seen in Star Trek (2009), Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) and Star Trek Beyond (2016). Now there had been mention of the timeline by Kovich in Star Trek Discovery, but that was all. This appears to be a little substantial and will continue next month,.There's a reason this storyline is called "When The Walls Fell" and it's not just about Shaka.

In its escape from the Delta Quadrant, the U.S.S. Theseus has landed in an unknown sector of space that appears safer-if not a hundred years younger-than their own. There, the crew receive a signal from an oncoming ship: the U.S.S. Enterprise. Captain James T. Kirk is hailing. The two crews join together in the race against Lore's wave of destruction, convinced there must be some countermeasure that will save their universes from complete annihilation.
