TV Guide interview | CBR interview | Newsarama interview | BrokenFrontier interview
Written by Greg Pak with interior art by Nigel Raynor, the specially priced 25 cent issue launches the comic book tie-in to the hit SciFi Channel original series. Here’s what TV Guide staff writer Ileane Rudolph had to say:
For those who can’t wait until TV’s smartest SCI FI show returns in October, the new, instantly involving comic Battlestar Galactica will satisfy any fan’s hunger. It’s a brand-new story that should appeal to both BSG veterans and comic book fans not yet acquainted with the show. In the first of 13 issues, writer Greg Pak quickly sets the pulse racing with the appearance of a ship under attack whose passengers appear to be Galactica crew members’ long dead loved ones. Or are they really humanity’s arch-enemies, the robotic Cylons? With just enough explanation for newcomers to the mythology, but not enough to slow down the action, I say thank “the Gods” for Dynamite Entertainment’s Battlestar Galactica.
