The Rundown: Sisko and his allies deal with the aftermath of the Lore War and their renewed future.
In the aftermath of the Lore War, Sisko returns to Deep Space Nine and his family who remembers everything that happened to the universe before it was fixed by the crew of the Theseus and others. As Sisko meets with his son Jake, the younger Sisko has something for him to read. At the same time, Worf gets some much-needed help from Picard as he fights to be reinstated in Starfleet. Picard also reaches out to Crusher with an offer on board the Enterprise as the ship receives another new officer.
Spock returns to Vulcan to begin work on a new ship that is familiar as things take some interesting turns for others. Scotty decides to visit an old friend and begin a new phase in his life as Alexander takes a new position on the Klingon home world with the new reinstated and humbled Kahless. Sato leaves Starfleet to begin a new life and T’Lir makes a decision about his future as Sisko decides to bring a new lesson to the Prophets of Bajor.
The Story: Cantwell, Kelly and Lanzing craft an engaging, compelling and entertaining conclusion to this arc with great moments for the characters as well as teases of familiar stories to come. I liked seeing how this story fits into the timeline with Picard announcing the wedding aboard the Enterprise-E as well as Spock working on the ship he uses to try to save Romulus. The story is beautifully layered to service both fans of Star Trek as well as fans of the characters created in the various comic book series. The story creates some great plot points that I would love to see explored in the future.
The Art: All the artists deliver fantastic visuals throughout the issue. There isn’t much action in the story so the imagery consists of character moments and each one has a unique, rich and beautifully detailed style.
