TV Guide to preview “Battlestar Galactica” #0

Posted on by

Newsarama reports that this week’s TV Guide will feature an exclusive preview of interior pages from “Battlestar Galactica” #0, written by Greg Pak with art by Nigel Raynor. Here’s an excerpt from the article:

Ileane Rudolph, Staff Writer for TV GUIDE added: “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.”
