Dynamite Sends Classic Battlestar Back Into  Orbit
  
Dynamite Entertainment today released images and information on their upcoming launch of an all-new Classic Battlestar  Galactica comic book series.
  
The opening story arc is written by  Rick Remender, illustrated by Carlos Rafael and featured two incredible covers –  one by legendary artist Dave Dorman and the other by Talent  Caldwell!
 
“Who doesn’t have a soft spot for this show? It helped  start it all,” exclaimed Dynamite Spokesperson J. Allen. “New Battlestar is of  course tremendous and stands on it's  own.  We're very fortunate to be  able to do a “Classic” Battlestar series! This gives us a chance to  show the reader adventures they’ve never seen featuring  the original Adama, Starbuck, Apollo and the  rest of the crew. Rick’s having a blast, and Carlos is an incredible  find.  And we will show interior pages in  the coming weeks!  Dave Dorman will be  the regular  cover artist and we’re pleased to have Talent on board with issue #1  for the special 50/50 cover. Pass the ambrosia and let out the daggits!”
  
Remender himself cuts to the chase of what makes  Battlestar so great, even close to 30 years later: “I think as a kid in the mid seventies all you could think about was "Star Wars," so when "Battlestar Galactica" showed up it was on. The convoy in Battlestar Galactica is all that's  left of humanity and if they make a wrong turn-- bye-bye human race. That  connects on a few levels and it's the core to the drama of the series.  “
  
Issue #1 on the all-new, Classic Battlestar Galactica comic book  series is available in September, and available for  PRE-ORDER  now!
