TNG Season Zero Prequel.
We all know and love the trials and tribulations of our beloved TNG
crew throughout seven seasons and four feature films ... but how
did it all begin for them? Daniel, Darren, and Phillip sit down and
create an outline for a "Countdown to 'Encounter' [at Farpoint]"
comic book series. The trio imagines a comic book run, similar to
IDW'S "Star Trek: Countdown" and "Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness"
for the JJ-verse movies, that picks up our characters' lives years
before they joined the ranks of the Galaxy-class
Enterprise-D.
Earl Grey begins issue one with the dramatic court martial of
Captain Jean-Luc Picard, following the disastrous loss of his first
command, U.S.S. Stargazer. Picard must deal with an overzealous
prosecutor, Phillipa Louvois, as well as a visit from recent widow,
Dr. Beverly Crusher. The next issues focus on young baby-face
Lieutenant William T. Riker and Deanna Troi on Betazed, as the
gold-suited Starfleet officer finds himself choosing between love
and career promotion (along with a new color uniform). Other issues
follow a recently discovered and reactivated android, named Data,
who finds his life choices continually challenged by a Lieutenant
Bruce Maddox. The trio also creates issues focusing on the
Cardassian War, with a young Natasha Yar and Miles O'Brien teaming
up to defend Starfleet, as well as a time jump forward to the
U.S.S. Hood as Ensign Geordi LaForge continually tries to escape
the attention of his meddlesome first officer, Lieutenant Commander
Riker.
Join Earl Grey as they tell these prequel stories and more of the
early adventures of the soon-to-be-infamous crew of the
Federation's flagship, U.S.S. Enterprise, NCC-1701-D in Season Zero
of The Next Generation.
