The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of BATTLESTAR
GALACTICA #5 from Dynamite Entertainment. The story is by Dan Abnett and Andy
Lanning, illustrated by Cezar Razek, colors by Vinicius Townsend, and lettering
by Simon Bowland.
Baltifer leads the Cylons in an all-out attack to
eliminate the human resistance. Apollo reluctantly offers to lead them into his
universe in exchange for stopping the attack on the planet below. Meanwhile,
Starbuck is trying to convince this universe’s Starbuck to take the Galactica
into battle. Will our heroes save the day and go home, or are the human races
of BOTH universes doomed?
I can’t tell you how much I love reading classic
Battlestar Galactica again. Abnett and Lanning capture the action, adventure,
and frankly the fun of the original show even with this being a darker story. It
looks like Cezar Razek had some fun creating the alternate universe’s
characters as well as the T-Drive Vipers. He does a real good job capturing the
actors’ likeness. I really hope this is not the end of Abnett, Lanning and
Razek’s tour onboard the Battlestar!
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA #5 is in stores now, or available to
order at www.Dynamite.com.
