"Battlestar Galactica: История в комиксах"

Comics

Battlestar Galactica has been adapted to the comic book format since its inception, with six publishers to date taking on the project of relating the story of the Colonial Fleet and their adversaries, the Cylons, at different points.

A French made comic book series of 28 episodes, based on Battlestar Galactica, was published from 1981 to 1982 in Télé Junior, a French TV themed comic magazine similar to Look In, with art by Gerald Forton. The comic was simultaneously published in Super J, a companion magazine to Télé Junior.

Dynamite Entertainment, as well as publishing a series based on the new Battlestar Galactica, began publishing Classic Battlestar Galactica based on the original series and set during the early part of the series. Dynamite has also started another series, Battlestar Galactica: Cylon Apocalypse, that takes place at an undetermined time after the series ended. In August 2009, Dynamite Entertainment released a Galactica 1980 comic series, written by Marc Guggenheim which was a re imagining of the original Galactica 1980 series. In 2012, Dynamite Entertainment announced that a volume two of the Classic Battlestar Galactica would be released. This series started in 2013. In July 2013, Dynamite also announced a mini series focusing on the character Starbuck.

In May 2006, Dynamite Entertainment announced a new ongoing Battlestar Galactica comic book series based on the reimagining, set between the events of "Home" and "Resurrection Ship". In addition to the aforementioned ongoing title, other Battlestar Galactica comics have been announced, including a 4 issue series spotlighting Tom Zarek's life, a prequel mini set during the First Cylon War, and a one shot featuring the Battlestar Pegasus. In May 2007, Dynamite Entertainment published Battlestar Galactica Season Zero issue #0 as part of Free Comic Book Day. The new series occurs two years before the events in the SciFi TV movie. Brandon Jerwa has written a four issue miniseries about the Ghost Squadron, a black ops team that fly stealthed Vipers, who find them separated from the rest of the fleet after the Cylon attack. David Reed and Seamus Kevin Fahey (writer of televised episode "Faith" and co writer of webisode series "The Face of the Enemy") have written an official series about the backstory of the Final Five. The first issue of Battlestar Galactica: The Final Five was released on April 22, 2009. The second issue was released on May 13, 2009. The third issue was released on June 3, 2009. The fourth issue was released on July 1, 2009. Dynamite Entertainment then continued its publishing of Galactica titles with the release of the Battlestar Galactica: Cylon War and the Battlestar Galactica: The Final Five trade paperbacks in December 2009. In 2013, they resumed publishing of Galactica titles with the Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 2 titles and others. A miniseries has been announced for 2018 which will see the two Galactica series come face to face following the discovery of Kali, the last of the reptilian race who created the original Cylons.
