Can't get enough of the Picard series? Read two graphic novel adventures that provide more context, with one story taking place before season one and the second taking place after season two!
Witness the events leading to the epic series
Star Trek: Picard. Before he retired to his vineyard, Jean-Luc Picard was the most decorated admiral in Starfleet. Then one mission changed his life forever. After discovering that a looming supernova threatens the entirety of the Romulan Empire, the Federation launches a mission of unparalleled scale. Admiral Picard heads to the colony to plan the evacuation but makes a shocking discovery!
Then, following the climactic events of season two's finale, Jean-Luc and Seven of Nine launch an unsanctioned mission that sets the stage for season three! When an offer comes in from the stars, Picard is once more compelled to leave his chateau and confront the shadows of his past. Before his days on the
Enterprise, a young Picard and his crew aboard the
U.S.S. Stargazer saved a thriving planet from resource-hungry Romulans...or so he thought. Now landing on a seemingly unrecognizable planet, he and his crew work to save the system--and their ship--from disaster.
