Battlestar Galactica: Season Zero, Volume 1 By Brandon Jerwa Paperback 1933305819 9781933305813 Battlestar Galactica: Season Zero, Volume 1 Springboarding from the 2007 Dynamite Battlestar Galactica Free Comic Book Day Comic read by over 100,000 fans on Free Comic Book Day comes the all new Battlestar Galactica series, Season Zero Writer Brandon (New Battlestar Galactica: Zarek) Jerwa is joined by series artist Jackson Herbert for this all new series which tells the untold tale of the crew of the Battlestar Galactica Set approximately two years before the SCI FI mini series which relaunched Battlestar Galactica to such acclaim, the seven issues collected here (including #0) follows Commander Adama and crew as they take on their first mission on board the Galactica. 5 StarsI thought this was surprisingly good I don t know a whole lot about the reboot of the TV series but even at that this was a good story The Cylons barely showed up as this was of a human story showing that sometimes even the ones you trust betray you This story would have worked just as well as a military story without the sci fi elements. Battlestar galactica kindle english Overall a solid story but I m not sure how well this served as a prequel to the series since I never watched it Paperback The first part of a two part story set one year before the 2003 BSG pilot miniseries The first half of Season Zero is quite promising showing that the familiar universe of the breathtaking TV series can deliver strong standalone stories as well as those huge epic arcs the TV version excelled in. Battlestar galactica story explained Fascinating sci fi concepts in league with honest character drama made me love the book so much that I thought they should have done a whole season of Galactica that dealt with the 12 colonies before the start of the genocide Well fortunately now we have Caprica for that Anyway I m really looking forward to seeing how this particular adventure will end Paperback I give the story a 3. Battlestar galactica ultimate collection 5 Paperback Adaptations of films and TV series need to do several things to be considered successful They need to stay true to the plots and characterisations of the parent material they need to stick within agreed canon and continuity as it appears at the time the book is written or at least not stray too far and they need to feel as if they could be part of the same universe In addition comic book graphic novel adaptations need to provide recognisable images of the main characters to hang the story on as well as following general guidelines for good comic book storytelling. Battlestar galactica universe Lets take the continuity issue first as this is a prequel to the TV series of necessity it removes the main focus of that series namely the battle against the Cylons they do appear briefly but they should not have Bereft of a recognisable foe the series has to fall back on much less interesting antagonists in this case the hackneyed old story of a military coup by an old friend of Commander Adama ostensibly as a reaction to perceived corruption in the Twelve Colonies leadership Needless to say none of this is ever mentioned in the series itself though the destruction of the Colonies might have had something to do with pushing this to one side It makes no difference though because the story is old tired and boring. Battlestar galactica dreadnought Going on to the artwork well to say it is terrible would not be an exaggeration The first chapter has Adama and Tigh in conversation but I would not have recognised either of them without them calling each other by name Subsequent chapters are slightly better in that the main characters are just about recognisable blond haired woman must be Starbuck right but the artwork fails in so many other ways Somebody needs to get this guy a copy of Understanding Comics The Invisible Art to show him how sequential art is supposed to be displayed so that you can actually understand what is going on on the page It doesn t help that there are several flashbacks and time jumps in the story that are not highlighted in any way in the art work or the text Sometimes it feels as if the book has been assembled with the pages out of sequence Finally the artist seems to have some kind of obsession with purple which is everywhere don t get me wrong purple is one of my favourite colours but not when it is used on people s faces instead of actual shadows Dynamite Comics are one of the relatively new comics producers over the last few years and they have apparently got the rights to a number of TV series and film series that I like If this book is an indication of the quality I should expect then I won t be looking out for them. Battlestar galactica dreadnought 1 1 2 stars and that is being generous Paperback Not bad If your a fan of the new BSG you will probably get a kick out of it If not perhaps something different then Paperback
