Battlestar Is Pure Dynamite

by Jessica

What’s all of this? See my blog at http://www.comicbookjournal.net/the-pop-culture-superhero-collison/ for all the grisly details. To prove how much I love comics I’m attempting to review every February comic before the end of the month. Can I do it? We’ll just have to wait and see. Now with this title I reviewed it a few months ago and was blown away. To my joy, the folks at Dynamite have done it again. Battlestar Galactica: Season Zero #5 is pure magic. The issues felt as if it was “shot” instead of drawn and the writing, both plot and dialogue was seamless. Dynamite Entertainment is the place to be this year it looks like. It’s always hardest to review the best titles because they often leave me speechless in terms of having any criticism. This book is simply one of the best continuing series out there. Hopefully it won’t be just a mini-series, but will actually continue throughout the seasons. If a budding artist needs a lesson on plot and storyboarding, I would recommend this issue hands down. The action is smooth, the transitions are solid, and the detail is fantastic. With that said I have no choice but to give this title a ten of ten. Absolute perfection. Dynamite Entertainment will be the sleeper studio to blow 2008 away.

About Comic Book Journal

Where do capes and cowls end and horror and noir begin? What's more important: the four-color panels, or the letter balloons within them? Did comics really begin in cave walls, or just in the Sunday morning cartoons? What the heck is a graphic novel? These questions and more are answered in the Comic Book Journal, the place between the page and the panel, the motion line and the sound byte, the superhero and the every(wo)man.
