IDW Publishing takes us back to the Starfleet Academy days of Cadet Jean-Luc Picard this week with the launch of the new series Star Trek: Picard’s Academy, and you can check out the official preview of the first issue below…
From New York Times-bestselling author Sam Maggs (Star Wars Jedi: Battle Scars) comes a new ongoing series unveiling the past of one of Starfleet’s most celebrated officers: Captain Jean-Luc Picard! 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!
Star Trek: Picard’s Academy #1 is out on Wednesday, September 13th.
