Star Trek #38

The fourth and final chapter of "The Tabukan Syndrome" arrives with a cover by Rod Whigham and Jerome K. Moore that pulls no punches: a massive asteroid explodes in a blinding burst of debris while the U.S.S. Enterprise navigates the chaos, with another vessel looming large in the foreground and a distant planet watching from the edge of the frame. It's a vivid snapshot of cosmic stakes that sets the stage for whatever consequences Howard Weinstein, Gordon Purcell, and Arne Starr have in store inside. A satisfying capstone to a four-part arc that DC's Star Trek line was delivering at its mid-1990s stride.
