How Sci-Fi Should Be Written
I think the title says it all. This is how science fiction should be written. I’ve never watched an episode of Battlestar. Now maybe I will. This book was fantastic. The artwork made the page come alive and I felt as if I was among the crew of the Pegasus. The characters were nicely rendered. The ships and space fighting scenes were sharp and stylistic. Despite being a bit long, this was an excellent first issue, and hopefully not the last in the series. Dynamic entertainment has a winner with this book. Generally, the sci-fi genre has been unsuccessful in the conversion to comic books, see my review on Star Trek Enterprise here: http://www.comicbookjournal.net/to-boldly-go/.
I cannot stress enough how this title is worth picking up. The crew take a tired genre and actually make it feel as if you’re watching a space thriller. The story basically follows the crew of a ship that has been in flight for far too long, and they encounter the evil Cylons, who has killed the majority of another crew. The Pegasus crew must encounter and continue the battle against the Cylons to avenge the death of their fallen comrades. I don’t want to spoil the details of the plot because I hope you’ll do yourself a favor and pick up this awesome book. On a scale from one to ten, this gets a solid nine. What’s the only thing missing, a little background on the Pegasus and its crew. This is recommended reading for any comic book fan, whether they’re into space adventures or not. Dynamite Entertainment has a winner in this series.
