Hardcover TNG collection coming in March

In addition to the Picard “20/20” title coming in January, IDW is also getting fans ready for the new Picard show in development with a special hardcover collection of five of their Star Trek: The Next Generation mini-series. Coming in March, Star Trek: The Next Generation—The Missions Continue collects The Space Between, Intelligence Gathering, Last Generation, Ghosts, and Hive.

Here is a detailed breakdown:

In The Space Between, travel to Tigan-7, Kandom 9, uncharted space, and more–each leading the dedicated crew of the Enterprise into unexpected adventures. By David Tischman and Casey Maloney. In Intelligence Gathering, what seems to be a series of unrelated missions is soon revealed to be part of a larger conspiracy involving a threat unlike any that Picard has ever faced. Can the Enterprise crew piece together the puzzle before it’s too late? By Scott Tipton, David Tipton, and David Messina. In Last Generation, a Myriad Universe title, Starfleet is no more! The Federation lies in ruin and the Klingons have conquered Earth. But a resistance, led by Jean-Luc Picard, seeks to free humanity from Klingon rule. Now, finally, they may have the means to do it: an android named Data! By Andrew Steven Harris and Gordon Purcell. In Ghosts, Captain Picard and the crew of the Enterprise respond to a distress call and find a terribly wounded scientist aboard a marooned ship. While evaluating the planet below (and its two warring nations) for possible Federation membership, Picard discovers to his horror that the survivor of the disaster is foreseeing his death. By Zander Cannon and Javier Aranda. In Hive, it’s the distant future and the entire galaxy has been completely assimilated by Borg and its king… Locutus! The only hope lies in the past, in the hands of Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the starship Enterprise! By Brannon Braga, Terry Matalas, Travis Fickett, and Joe Corroney.

Star Trek: The Next Generation—The Missions Continue is 568 pages of TNG comics in one package and will retail for $59.99. It will be released on March 19 and you can pre-order it now at Amazon.
