Re: New BG Classic ongoing comic
It's not that I'm looking for another excuse to be critical of Dynamite's past work, but finally I've realized just why the group of stories written in 2013 through the "Death Of Apollo" storyline have such an......off quality to them. Collectively, those stories are intended to conform to the universe of the earlier 2009 "Galactica 1980" reimagining. Thus, the whole reason for a "Death of Apollo" story was to "establish" the world of the alternate G80 timeline and in this kind of set-up, there couldn't possibly be any room to show some legitimate character development of Apollo (or Starbuck for that matter. Consequently, Sheba and Cassiopeia are about non-existent in all of these stories and we get WAY too much of the "new" characters Xam and Dr. Madasa).
