In order to satisfy the appetites of those
Battlestar Galactica fans who are waiting with barely reined-in anticipation of the next season, Dynamite
Entertainment is releasing a new comic book series based on the hit Sci-Fi Channel show.
According to writer Greg Pak, who is a fan of the show, the series will begin in the middle of the 2nd season, before the arrival of the Pegasus. While he did have to send story treatments to Universal before writing the comic Pak says he is being given a lot of latitude in the BSG universe. He may even go into the past to detail the conflict that the humans and the Cylons decades before the timeframe of the current show.
In my opinion, the best thing about the comic book series is no special effects budget that needs to be kept. This means that the writer and the artist can use their imaginations to produce scenes that the show never could.

Wow, this actually gets me pretty psyched. I used to be really into comics, until I got to college and found it too expensive and time-consuming to keep up with. However, a BSG comic this summer might actually get me baci inside a comic store. And lord knows they'll do six some hand-drawn justice. Mmmm...

On a very loosely related note, how many people listen to the Ricky Gervais podcast and heard the e-mail from Tyrol (don't have his name to hand)?

I'm glad they are giving us something to get through the long, dry BSG summer.
But did anyone see the SEASON THREE TEASER on the Scifi.com website?!? It is stuck at the end of the Season Two Finale reel. No new images, just some Number Six voiceover, but it seems to confirm some of the standard speculation about the new direction of the show. Check it out.
