Picard takes his new ship on a mission to evacuate a romulan colony only to quickly discover that the planet has a native population numbering in the millions that the Romulan Star Empire had failed to mention. Picard will not countenance the death of millions and refuses to continue the mission until he's figured out a way to rescue them all.
Plot wise this could be the plot of an episode of any of the 6 Star Trek shows. The problem is that it doesn't feel like anything more than the plot synopsis of a lost episode. The comic moves so swiftly that it feels more like a plot summary than a story. Picard is locked in a cell and gets out a page later. His ship is taken over by Romulans but the crew beams them into the brig a page later. He's betrayed by his new friends, but convinces them to help him again about 5 panels later.
The art is very good but the comic doesn't care enough about telling a story to be worth reading and there's no meaningful revelations concerning the new show either. Overall it's just painfully mediocre.
