Entertainment announced today that TV Guide is offering an exclusive sneak peak
of their all-new Battlestar Galactica comic book series.
In cooperation with SCIFI, Universal and TV Guide,
Dynamite’s Battlestar Galactica #0 will be featured in the May 22nd issue, with
subscriptions begin being mailed on May 15, 2006. The exposure of the comic is
expected to reach millions of TV Guides weekly readers, and through it the fans
of SCI-FI’s hit TV series, Battlestar Galactica. An interview with series writer
Greg Pak will be included to bring awareness of the comic to the potential
untapped readers that TV Guide has to offer.
“We’ve been working on this for the past several months
and could not say anything until now. TV Guide wanted an exclusive sneak
peak of the interior pages, and were willing to work with us to promote the
comics industry as part of the package, which to us is a key component. In
our quest to help promote the comics industry, TV Guide is also promoting the
800 Comic Shop Locator Service (1-888-COMIC BOOK in the article. We ask
that comics fans and retailers support TV Guide by picking up and carrying this
issue. We’re thrilled it all came together!,” explained Dynamite
Spokesperson J. Allen. “From Army of Darkness to Red Sonja, we’ve been working
with top sellers, and Battlestar Galactica has the ability to bring the most
attention to the comics market. The opportunity here for us, the fans,
retailers and the industry is once-in-a-lifetime as millions of readers will be
able to find out about the comic (of the hit SCI FI TV Show), and use that
opportunity to pick up the first issue, available for just a quarter! Frak
Yeah!”
Ileane Rudolph, Staff Writer for TV GUIDE added: “For
those who can’t wait until TV's smartest SCI FI show returns in October, the
new, instantly involving comic Battlestar Galactica will satisfy any fan's
hunger. It's a brand-new story that should appeal to both BSG veterans and
comic book fans not -yet--acquainted with the show. In the first of 13
issues, writer Greg Pak quickly sets the pulse racing with the appearance of a
ship under attack whose passengers appear to be Galactica crew members’ long
dead loved ones. Or are they really humanity’s arch-enemies, the robotic
Cylons? With just enough explanation for newcomers to the mythology, but
not enough to slow down the action, I say thank "the Gods" for Dynamite
Entertainment’s Battlestar Galactica.”
