Comic Book Review – Star Trek: Picard – Countdown #1

by

Villordsutch reviews Star Trek: Picard – Countdown #1… It’s bizarre to think that a decade ago Mike Johnson, along with Tim Jones, put pen to paper and wrote Star Trek: Countdown.  In doing so they ignired the fuse – which admittedly has burnt slowly – but has now bloomed with Star Trek: Picard – Countdown, […]
