Don MacPherson particularly liked the backup story featuring Amadeus Cho, aka Mastermind Excello. Here’s an excerpt from the review:

Mastermind Excello is a wonderful character. Not only is he defined by his intellect, but he’s a youthful rebel. … [Greg] Pak’s script not only paints him as a genius, but as something of an innocent whose perspective manages to cut through politics and shades of grey. If Marvel doesn’t direct Pak to do more with this wonderful character, and soon, it’s wasting some great potential.

Newsarama’s Best Shots likes “Battlestar Galactica” #3

Troy Brownfield of Newsarama’s Best Shots crew likes “Battlestar Galactica” #3. Here’s the blurb:

Even within the rigid confines of a complicated and brilliant continuity, Greg Pak manages to write the characters and situations into new directions without upsetting the balance of the dictates of the show. The character work here is particularly impressive (especially if you know the show and can “hear” the voices from your sense memory). Honestly, I think that Dynamite is doing a great job with their licensed books; hooking readers up with familiar concepts is one way that comics will be able to keep pulling in new readers.

“Battlestar Galactica” #3 is written by Greg Pak with pencils by Nigel Raynor and hit comic book stores on November 8. Ask your local comic store to hold a copy for you today.
