Romulans huh. Strange not to create a new villain for such an unexplored time period, but go with the ONE it shouldn’t realistically be. We’ll see how it pans out though.
The Romulan ships in the image in the article are fighting NX-class ships and ENT-era Andorian and (I think) Tellarite ships, so that must be a representation of the Earth-Romulan War. Perhaps it's a history lesson or battle simulation from an Academy class.
Fun. IDW's ongoings sound boring to me but the recent minis have been of interest, I'll have to pick this and TMP: Echoes up.
Hopefully it has a scene where Picard shaves his head on a dare and someone takes his photo.

Robinson, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: A Stitch in Time is an unique and intense tale following Elim Garak, the character Robinson portrayed throughout the television series' seven-season run, as he attempts to stitch the ravaged society of Cardassia back together.

Very similar to the Romulan War era ships proposed by the old Encyclopedia.
Yes. Also seen in a simulation in a different Picard Academy story! https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Starfall (I think those are Romulan ships on the cover, right? It's been a while.)
Yes, you're right.

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!

Ugh. The only intergalactic conflicts we've ever seen in Trek are the ones against Sylvia & Korob, the Kelvans, the Doomsday Machine, and probably the space amoeba and the "One of Our Planets Is Missing" cloud creature, since they all came from other galaxies. (I don't count Mudd's androids, since it was their builders who came from Andromeda; the androids themselves were probably "born" on the planet.) Post-TAS Trek has been impressively disciplined about keeping things within one galaxy (which is so immense that there's really no need to look beyond it).
I never did like trade paperbacks. So for me, eBooks are much better. I did like MMPB. IMHO, TPB was just to be able to raise the price with no benefit.
Just adding that IDW have announced some panels for their Star Trek line at SDCC, so we may get some news that could go in the 2023 or 2024 releases threads:
