Star Trek: Picard will have a prequel comic and novel. 1 / 8

Like the show itself, plot details are sparse, but brief details have been released. 2 / 8

The comic, titled Countdown, relates a mission that had a profound effect on Picard. 3 / 8

The novel, titled The Last Best Hope, introduces new characters for the TV show. 4 / 8

Tie in material is usually supplemental to a series rather than required for understanding it... 5 / 8

so the events of each will likely be recounted in the Picard series proper. 6 / 8

Both book and comic will be released well before Picard debuts... 7 / 8

means that interested fans will have plenty of time to read them. 8 / 8
