Let me say right from the start, I love Battlestar Galactica. I love the classic show, love the reboot. I even like elements of Galatica 80! I even remember going to the cinema to see the Battlestar Galactica movie. My mom prefers it to Star Wars!
Despite my history and affection with and for the show, I have never read any of the recent tie-in comics. (I did have a couple of the 70’s Marvel issues). Â Reading this I safely say, based on this issue, that I am content with my decision regarding the comics.
With Dan Abnett, you know what you’re going to get. Â Abnett is a consistent writer across a number of books, none of which are particularly spectacular. Â The characters here, writing wise, are an accurate representation of their television counterparts.
Dietrich Smith is the artist, delivering some great space scenes, but also some rather bland facial expressions. Â For me, there are a couple of perspective issues that distract my eye and spoils some of action pieces. Â For example, the helmet on Boomer looks like it is several sizes too big. I would rate the art less than 3 stars but viper art is impressive.
The title of the story could be giving away  the conclusion, this is part 4, but there are several steps before we get there.

I am a long time comic book fan, being first introduced to Batman in the mid to late 70's. This led to a appreciation of classic artists like Neal Adams and Jim Aparo. Moving through the decades that followed, I have a working knowledge of a huge raft of characters with a fondness for old school characters like JSA and The Shadow
Currently reading a slew of Bat Books, enjoying a mini Marvel revival, and the host of The Definative Crusade and Outside the Panels whilst also appearing on No-Prize Podcast on the Undercover Capes Podcast Network
