Star Trek: Picard’s Academy: Commit No Mistakes TPB

Standard Cover by: Sweeney Boo
MSRP: $19.99 USD
Diamond Code: MAY241156

Written by Sam Maggs.

Go back to academy days with one of Starfleet’s most celebrated officers: Jean-Luc Picard! A new collected series by New York Times best-selling author, Sam Maggs.
Before becoming the Federation’s finest, Jean-Luc was an ordinary student at Starfleet Academy with sights on the stars. His path forward was charted: blow his classmates out of the water on the infamous Evasive Maneuvers exam and graduate early. But there’s a detail Cadet Picard hadn’t factored into his plan: the exam was a group project and he’d need to make friends with, ugh, people if he stood a chance at passing.
Federation starships aren’t run by a party of one, after all. During the training exercise, Picard accidentally puts the lives of himself and two of his classmates—Doq and Marty—in danger!

[Extrocomp]

They did announce a Trek / Doctor Who thing that isn't necessarily new fiction, but I think the intent is for the two fandoms to cooperate further.

San Diego Comic Con is nearly over and the Star Trek/Doctor Who thing turned out to be a limited time crossover event for Star Trek Lower Decks Mobile and Doctor Who: Lost in Time.

I also heard a non-SDCC announcement that Galaxy Quest characters were going to be added to the video game Star Trek Fleet Command in August, but it's too early to know if they get to interact with Star Trek characters during the missions. Reaction by Fleet Command players is overwhelmingly negative as most people wanted more Star Trek content or at least for the developers to fix the bugs.

I'm disappointed there was no crossover comic announcement. Online games often get shut down, but comics last forever.

Really looking forward to the new Lower Decks ongoing comic, I love the show and the first comic miniseries was a lot of fun.

 

[ryan123450]

Anyone have an in-universe explanation of the end of Sons of Star Trek #4...

Spoiler: Various IDW comic mini spoilers

Worf is present, in DS9 era uniform. When would this issue even take place?

I had assumed the entire miniseries was set during Star Trek #13, after Sisko and the Theseus went back to Earth after the Day of Blood, but on their way to Tzenketh. It's definitely soon after Day of Blood, and that seems like the most obvious time Sisko could be back on DS9. But I can't see an obvious reason why Worf would be in that uniform at any point in the IDW era. Worf was back on DS9 just after the Day of Blood in Defiant #8, when they "purchased" the Defiant from Kira. But he wasn't officially in Starfleet at that time.

If it's just the uniform that's an error, does it still seem like I'm on the right track about this being set during Star Trek #13 and Defiant #8, when Sisko and Worf could have coincidentally been at DS9 at the same time? Or am I forgetting something? In the end, it was thematically neccessary for Worf to be in the final scene, but his presence doesn't work story wise very well.

Star Trek: Holo-Ween TPB

Standard Cover by: Francesco Francavilla
MSRP: $19.99 USD
Diamond Code: MAY241155

Written by Christopher Sequeira.

Horrors from Starfleet’s past are back with a vengeance in this miniseries. To save the ship, Picard and crew will have to become monsters themselves!

The evil Redjac presence—a.k.a. Jack the Ripper from the Star Trek episode “Wolf in the Fold”—has returned. And this time it has a new terrifying tool at its disposal: the holodeck. As Redjac seizes control of Picard’s Enterprise and spreads holographic horror, the only way for the crew to resist insanity is to become one with their fears. Ship counselor Commander Deanna Troi concocts a daring plan for an away team to become hypnotized holodeck-incarnations of timeless horror monsters, such as Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy, and others. Once they infiltrate the illusions, they can fight fear with fear. However, will they be able to defeat Redjac and break their hypnosis before their minds are permanently altered? Or will the crew be stuck as movie monsters forever?

Didn't Wildstorm already do a "Redjac on the holodeck" graphic novel?

You have a great memory! Star Trek: The Next Generation: Embrace The Wolf had a similar concept

The first DC series, "Wolf on the Prowl" and "Wolf at the Door". (#22 and 23).

Which was a Redjac story, but not a holodeck story, since it was TOS.

But the Theseus crew are Starfleet officers ready to step up to the plate and boldly take on the unknown, and their captain is a prophet ready to embrace his godhood for the sake of the universe…or else!
