Yes, 23 issues for Marvel although most of it was bogged down in that interminable "Memory Machine" storyline. Other flaws besides the absence of Sheba, Cain, Iblis etc. were the total disappearance of Baltar after issue #6 and a flashback scene in issue #7 (ultimately the whole Marvel storyline would have us think that Lucifer left Baltar for dead on Kobol!), drawing Sire Uri as a clone of the Spiderman/Daredevil villain the Kingpin (indeed it's this depiction that has often confused many a fanfic author into falsely thinking Uri was a fat slug of the Jabba type, whereas Ray Milland was nothing like that at all!) etc.

Max Press I think matched Marvel in terms of number of issues put out when you combine all of their different miniseries together. The subsequent comics series (I keep forgetting the company name) lasted the shortest.
