Star Trek: Starfleet Academy #11
In "Judgment," the cadets of Starfleet Academy face a court-martial after their unauthorized journey to Talos IV, putting their futures—and lives—in the balance. With Spock stepping in to argue their case by citing past precedents of justified insubordination, the trial becomes a tense exploration of duty, morality, and the cost of doing what’s right. Written by Chris Cooper and illustrated by John Royle, with inks by Tom Wegrzyn, colors by Kevin Somers, and letters by Jim Novak, this issue’s cover by Royle and Wegrzyn captures the gravity of the moment.
