It's probably long out of print, but a collected edition of DC Trek comics I was given to read once while recovering from an illness had a kick ass story. It bridged the end of the five year mission and the first film. Pike and Talos IV were also involved. If you can find it, it's a great read!

For the all too brief time Marvel had the license, they put out a good Pike era comic.

Was this It?

Edit:

or this one?

Definitely the first one, but it was part of a large softcover collected edition when I read it. It set things up for the movie so well, it could have been the prequel!

I forgot Walter Koenig wrote an issue!
