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. Federati more
Overall. This first issue looks like its setting up what could be a fun series. I look forward to seeing if the comics writer includes any of the stories told about Picard's time at the academy that got mentioned during Star Trek: The Next Generation. As there are a few good ones that they could draw upon. Read Full Review
Greco delivers some great visuals that match the lighter tone of the story. The visual style works perfectly with the plot and characters. Read Full Review
While he's familiar, this isn't the Jean-Luc Picard we've come to love. At least not yet. This 20-year-old version is still learning how to interact with others while charting his own course for the future. Think of it as a young adult version of Star Trek. Read Full Review
It's humorous and clips along at a brisk pace, even though it runs into the trap of featuring an antagonist that's simply the opposite of its protagonist. Read Full Review
That said, this is a fun little romp that looks like its for kids but doesnt eschew swear words. And its Star Trek. And it has Boothby and Professor Galen. AndSpock? Okay, Im in. I gotta read Star Trek: Picard Academy #2 to find out where this cliff hanger goes. LLAP until next month! Read Full Review
