Star Trek Comicband #18
This German-language collection from Cross Cult presents the complete 'Star Trek: Picard - Countdown' storyline, which serves as a prequel to the Paramount+ series 'Star Trek: Picard.' Written by Kirsten Beyer and Mike Johnson with art by Angel Hernandez, the comic follows Jean-Luc Picard in the years before the show, exploring his final mission as captain of the USS Enterprise-E and the events leading to his retirement. It collects the four-issue miniseries originally published by IDW in 2019-2020.
"Picard: Countdown [Teil 1]" delivers a tense, character-driven chapter in the Star Trek universe, with Kirsten Beyer, Mike Johnson, and Stephanie Pannen crafting a story that finds Captain Picard at a moral crossroads on the colony of Yuyat Beta. As he resists evacuating the Romulan population without ensuring the safety of the local inhabitants, he’s imprisoned by Governor Shiana—only to escape with the aid of a native rebellion and two daring Romulans willing to risk everything. Angel Hernández’s dynamic art, Joana Lafuente’s vivid colors, and Andrea Bottlinger’s crisp lettering bring the political and personal stakes to life, while Jim Salvati’s cover captures the moment’s urgency.
In 2385, Admiral Jean-Luc Picard commands the USS Verity on a delicate mission to aid the Romulans in evacuating their star system just before a looming supernova. As tensions rise and the Romulans’ secrecy deepens, Picard must navigate suspicion and diplomacy in a race against time.
In "Picard: Countdown [Teil 2]," Captain Picard stands firm against orders to evacuate Romulan colonists from Yuyat Beta without first ensuring the safety of the planet’s native people—leading to his arrest by Governor Shiana. With the help of a secret rebellion and two Romulan allies willing to risk everything, Picard escapes captivity, but Shiana seizes the chance to take control of the USS Verity in his absence.
After escaping his captors with help from Zhaban and Laris, Picard learns that Governor Shiana has seized control of the Verity. With Shiana defeated and Picard in command, the ship is suddenly targeted by a Tal Shiar vessel—only for Zhaban and Laris to reveal their true allegiance, turning against their own forces to stand with Picard.
