PaperBackReader gives an A- to “Battlestar Galactica” #1

Bart Gerardi at PaperBackReader.com has given “Battlestar Galactica” an A-. Here’s an excerpt from the review:

… [Artist] Nigel Raynor makes the characters recognizeable, consistent, and not terribl[y] identical to the actors and actresses they are meant to line up with. After exactly one page, a reader who is used to the look of the tv show can get used to picking the characters out, and a new reader will have no problems at all. I think that was a pretty good decision, and the art and the colors stand up well with it.
Second, this first choice of stories is inspired. Set in an important time in the series (before Ro Laren shows up, but after they get back from Kobol) it begins to tell a story of an indidious Cylon plot that threatens to kill all of them. While we, the reader, know how it’s going to turn out, they picked a story that will have lasting effects on the characters, and could actually have meaning in the greater universe.
