As a kid growing up in the 70's and early 80's, I got a chance to see classic Battlestar Galactica when it first aired on TV. And over the years since, I have watched it on reruns, on vhs, dvd, and now I have the Blu-rays. This show, the classic from 1978, has always meant a great deal to me. I even tracked down and purchased all the novelizations that creator Glen A. Larson put out (most of which are novelizations of the tv episodes with some interesting extras, but a few are original stories). And I also picked up all the novels that Richard Hatch put out. But comics, comics are another story.
I knew they existed, but not really being comic book knowledgeable, I didn't have much of a clue where to begin and wasn't too keen on trying to track them all down. And then, one day, while I was checking up here on Amazon just to see if anything interesting might turn up while searching Battlestar Galactica, I found this Omnibus, Volume 1, of classic Battlestar Galactica comics!
It truly is everything the advertisement at Amazon says it is. After all this time, to get new stories with the original crew. I'm so happy! I'm reading through it right now. And so far, the flavor is about what the show was. The banter seems to fit fairly well, I can imagine the actors voices while reading this.
The art it beautiful. Not 100 percent precise, not exact duplication, there are hands at work here with some originality, but is very clear who is who (Commander Adama however, is looking a bit more strong, more youthful than the series). The paper seems good and thick to me, and the colors are striking, they really look good. I'm trying to be gentle with the binding. It seems ok, but it's difficult to say how durable it may or may not be. Best to be on the safe side and be gentle.
It's so awesome to see these characters flying vipers, taking on the cylons, and dealing with friendship and family in a ragtag fleet in space. I look forward to any more volumes of classic Battlestar Galactica! Bring them on!
