History lesson
The Enterprise arrives at Tigan for discussions with an isolationist society. Will Riker,
Tasha Yar, and Data beam down to meet Chancellor Lomac and find a population hardwired
for information, but no Lomac. While the away team tries to learn why there's no record
of anyone contacting the Federation, the Enterprise is hit by a massive gravimetric pulse
fired from the planet's surface. Pushed across the galaxy at near light speed, Picard and
his crew must find a way to stop the ship and return to retrieve the away team.

Solicitation: Celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Star Trek: The Next Generation with this
all-new relaunch of the Trek franchise in comics. In the first issue of this special
miniseries, planet Tigan-7 requests entry into the Federation, but the Enterprise is
attacked as a hostile invader when it makes contact, and the planet's leader has no
record of any communication with any outside world. Riker, Tasha, and Data beam down
to the planet in secret, and discover an information-obsessed culture, rewriting pieces
of its 6,000-year history on a daily basis, to maintain political stability. An all-new,
all-different, Next-Gen adventure, featuring Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the
Enterprise D!

Captain's pleasure
Following Ambassador Spock's decison to stay on Romulus, Picard takes a week off in
the ruins of an ancient city on Rajatha Prime with old friend, Dr. Marjorie Devarona.
The dig team finds the wreckage of a two-hundred year-old Starfleet shuttlepod and
five valuable harmonic diamonds with skeletal remains of the pod's occupants. The
diamonds divide the archeological team and the killing begins. Picard must solve
the puzzle of the diamonds and the dig before he becomes the next victim. Meanwhile,
back on the Enterprise, Dr. Crusher and Counsellor Troi experience a little Saturday
night fever.

with this all-new relaunch. Picard visits the archaeological dig on Kandom 9, where scientists

the Enterprise is cut off, greed turns to mistrust, and Picard must discover the killer in the
group, before he becomes the next victim. Written by David Tischman (Bite Club) with art by
Casey Maloney (Children of the Grave).

Solicitation: Jean-Luc Picard has always been an explorer, traveling the galaxy to seek out new life
and new civilizations, but after seven years as captain of the Enterprise, he makes a
startling discovery - scientific information from the Enterprise's mission logs has been
used to develop deadly weapons systems. Is Starfleet involved? And if so, how high does
the conspiracy go? Ignoring direct orders from his superiors, Picard launches an all-out
offensive on the secret base where these weapons are stored. Picard is not about to see
his mission perverted for military use and strategic control. Five single-issue stories
come together in the explosive, action-filled conclusion of "The Space Between."
