I took a chance on the next issue. And, I feel that my mind is being subjected to the torture of “a thousand tiny cuts.” Yet, I only have myself to blame….”fool me twice….”
My additional “coin” got me less that I had hoped. Two issues and we still don’t know exactly why Picard wasn’t able to succeed in his mission to rescue the Romulans. We know that part of it was the lack of cooperation he received from the Romulans (revealed in #1) but this is really being strung out.

I'm a sucker for a bargain. I know I said after the extremely short Coundown #1 I wouldn't bother with more in the series, but then this went on sale for $1.99. And I was curious where the story would go. So I got comic two of three in what I presume is a lead-in to the new series, Picard. And I gotta admit, I'm interested in the story, the questions it raises, how it will end.
But again, after about 5 minutes of reading, I turned the last page on my Kindle. Why are these so SHORT? And why was I ...more

Well the story is moving along nicely i guess but not terribly satisfying as a book 2 of 3. I dont think thats the fault of the writers, just the nature of the 3-issue/act format.
Its clear though that book 3 will just resolve this current situation, and not give me near enough information as I was hoping for about the upcoming series. Im trying to judge it on its own merits and not as a direct intro to the TV show, but thats a tall order and I am failing.

Star Trek: Picard - Countdown #2 picks up straight after the previous book with Picard taking part in a native Rebellion and rescuing his first officer Commander Muskier! :D Meanwhile the Verity is taken by the Romulans under Governor Shiana setting up future plotlines! :D The story rocks along at an incredible pace with action at every turn. At the same time it drops in adventure and nuggets all along the way! :D Crisp High Five! :D Get it if you can! :D

Countdown is a three part comic series acting as a prologue to the new CBS Star Trek series Picard.
Yes I read this without reading the one that comes before it! They had sold out of the others and I couldn’t wait.
The artwork is gorgeous and I am so looking forward to reading part one and part three! It’s interesting to see the characters in this light and I want to know what happened!

Excellent continuation!
Admiral Picard and his First Officer are prisoners on the Romulan Colony that must be evacuated before the destruction of Romulus by a Supernova. Picard must stop the Governor of the colony from taking what is good intentions before it becomes serious that would make things worse.

Nice plot progression. Good art and the story is starting to heat up. Curious for how it continues.

Took a U turn I was not expecting. I found issue 1 better. Let's hope it gets back in track for a big finish next month.
