Or they just retcon that scene from the 2009 film, as though it never happened.

Wouldn't be the first time Trek decided to ignore past events.

They'd never do that, it's a major event. Plus Kurtzman worked on that movie.

And CBS had been acknowledging it as canon since 2009.

Star Trek Countdown comics is considered canon?

- Romulus and Remus destroyed
- Captain Data of the Enterprise-E
- Ambassador Picard
- Geordi now a civilian engineer/ship builder
- Worf skewered, possibly killed

All canon events if they acknowledge the comic as canon, for the Picard series.

The comics are not considered canon. Romulus being destroyed was seen in the movie though.

However Kurtzman helped write that comic so he might adapt some things from it.

It is set the same timeline as TOS/TAS/TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT/DSC and their movies.

The comics are not canon.

The Supernova was mentioned and seen in the movie, that's how it's canon.

However, Kurtzman wrote the comic so I wouldn't be surprised if the show used some elements from it.

Soooooooo canon!

No.

There’s no guarantee that he will take anything from the comics.

And even if he does, that doesn’t make the comics canon, only the show is.

It was mentioned in the movie, but it was taken directly from the aforementioned comic. Thus that part of the comic, is now being canonized. Stop being obtuse about it.

No the movie was written before the comic.
Per CBS own rules, comics are not canon. I’m not the one being obtuse here. I’m just following the rules.

Even if he copies the backstory from the comic, that doesn’t make the comic canon, it only makes how it happens in the show the canon version.

Nothing yet, they haven't released any real plot information other than Romulus going boom.

Also Star Trek: Picard was announced as the official, so I don’t think we need “Temp” in the title anymore
