Hoo boy, just judging from the description we're still going to be stuck in this flashback story in issue #4. The longer it goes on, the more they are tampering IMO with the integrity of the original series episodes and making it impossible for me to look forward to anything they put forth.

Sorry if I sound so negative, but IMO this was the absolute worst direction they could have gone in story wise to launch this. A flashback saga should come later, when you've had a chance to take stock of where things are post-HOG, and not as your launching point.

I am taking a wait and see approach to this project. I think this is supposed to be in comic shops tomorrow. While I would have perferred adventures that take place after HOG, If handled correctly, I could enjoy the idea of shoe-horning an untold adventure in SOSW.

Classic Galactica Comic Due

Javier Grillo-Marxuach, a writer and producer for ABC's Alias and Lost TV series, will write a new miniseries of comic books based on the classic 1970s Battlestar Galactica show, Dynamite Entertainment announced. The miniseries is being scheduled for an early 2007 release.

Grillo-Marxuach calls himself a big fan of the original Galactica universe. "One of my favorite childhood memories is sitting in a movie theater, watching Battlestar Galactica in Sensurround!" Grillo-Marxuach said in a statement. "With the renewed interest in all things Galactica, it truly is an honor to revisit the swashbuckling world of the original series and tell a big, heroic adventure that's both true to the character of the classic universe and so epic in scope it can only be presented in the comics medium, ... and that's no felgercarb!"

Grillo-Marxuach is an Emmy Award-winning television writer and producer whose credits include The Pretender, The Chronicle, Charmed, Jake 2.0, The Dead Zone, Dark Skies and seaQuest. He is also the writer of Marvel Comics' Annihilation: Super Skrull and creator of Viper Comics' The Middleman.

I have a very bad feeling about this. I think I will pass and save my cubits.

On the matter of this thread's title, I have *still* not seen #1 anywhere at all. And to me, that only seems to indicate that this title is already being set up to die in infancy, and give more ammunition to certain people who like to say TOS has no enduring appeal.

Okay, now I see the other thread saying delivery date is 10/18 at long last. I will give it a look. And hope the bad feeling I've got inside dissipates after seeing it.
