Star Trek: Starfleet Academy #10

In "Return to the Forbidden Planet Part 2: A Prelude to War," Captain Pike leads the Starfleet Academy cadets on a perilous mission that ends in battle with the Jem'Hadar—only to reveal a shocking truth: Pike was never real. When the cadets return home, they're stunned to find themselves under arrest for unauthorized travel to Talos IV. Written by Chris Cooper and illustrated by Chris Renaud, with inks by Andy Lanning, colors by Kevin Somers, and letters by Jim Novak, this 1997 Marvel issue delivers a tense, twist-driven story that redefines loyalty and perception. The cover by Chris Renaud and Andy Lanning captures the moment’s intensity, setting the stage for a confrontation that echoes far beyond the classroom.
