More BSG Goodies!

I see Ben told you all about the awesome Galactica statue we got in this week. That's cool.

But did he tell you about the new BSG comic that came out this week? No, I didn't think so. BSG: Zarek shipped this week, along with issue 4 of the regular series, and I have to admit it was pretty cool. And yes, while the main story does focus on Tom Zarek, they also did a really good job of showing the culture and enviroment that shaped him. And in this case that means the Twelve Colonies, the events leading up to, and including, the first Cylon war. And I admit, I really didn't like Zarek's character much when we first encountered him, or even as he was during the second season of the show. Much better third season character though. Richard Hatch probably just has a better idea of who Zarek is at this point.

Back to book though, I am really glad I picked it up. It shows why the Cylons were created in the first place, and why some of the Colonies came through the last war better then some of the others. And that the last war was much more conventional then this one. But all in all, if you're a fan of the show, I highly recommend it, for the cool history lesson if nothing else.
