Star Trek: Year Five #20
In "Under the Raptor's Wings [Part 1]," Spock is thrust into a pivotal moment in Vulcan’s past, witnessing the rise of Surak’s philosophy firsthand—only to discover the history he knows is far from the truth. As he grapples with the real, unvarnished origins of Vulcan logic, the present-day Enterprise faces a chilling threat: a Romulan-tinged Vulcan fleet that never learned peace. Written by Brandon Easton and brought to life with striking detail by Silvia Califano, this issue blends time-travel intrigue with high-stakes diplomacy, all under a cover by Stephen Thompson.
