Children of Gammaworld, remember their names! Korg the Kronan. Hiroim the Oldstrong. Elloe Kaifi. No-Name of the Brood. They survived the gladiator pits and battlefields of “Planet Hulk.” They withstood the titanic clashes and soul-searing revelations of “World War Hulk.” But today, under the deadly dome of Gammaworld, a hero falls — and the Warbound will never be the same!

2008.02.27 – “Battlestar Galactica” Vol. 3 trade paperback

Posted on by


The third trade paperback of the “Battlestar Galactica” comic book series written by Greg Pak hit comic book stores on February 27. This final storyline of the series focusses in particular on Sharon, the Cylon played by Grace Park on the television show. Here’s what WizardUniverse.com had to say about the last issue of the series:

… the emphasis here is on human relationships and human tragedy, even if the ‘human’ in question happens to be a machine. Throughout, it’s easy to hear the voices of Katee Sackhoff, Edward James Olmos, James Callis et al delivering Pak’s smart, sad dialogue. Way to close on a high note, BSG team.
