Battlestar Galactica #1 Review

I was curious about this comic and was hoping it would be good. I've heard from more than a few people how much they liked the most recent series so I was hoping the comic would be interesting but it wasn't. Maybe it's because I am not familiar with the characters and story line that I just couldn't connect with this, I don't know. I do like some sci-fi and fantasy but this first comic was a bit of a bummer.

The artwork was the most bothersome thing about it. The characters are drawn so badly. They kind of reminded me of the early 80's cartoon version of the Hobbit and their characters. I did like how the environments and ships were drawn and colored though. I just couldn't get past the shoddy characters and inking. It reminded me a worse and sloppy version of Satellite Falling but this comic would be so much better if the artwork was done by Stephen Thompson and Lisa Jackson.

I did like both covers of this though. Although the variant cover that I have is another cover that isn't connected to anything inside. Why are there so many covers that have nothing to do with the actual content of the comic? I'm sure because it helps sell it but it's a shady way to go about it if it doesn't even have anything to do with what is actually inside.

Not that I want to just slag off a comic but this just didn't appeal to me. Maybe I should check out the next issue but I doubt that I will.

New Comics Tomorrow

Tomorrow is new comics day. I want to definitely get Tank Girl - Two Girls One Tank #3 and I want to check out Battlestar Galactica #1. The covers of Galactica look nice. I am always hearing how good this show is but still haven't checked it out yet. I remember seeing parts of the really old movie from I think the early 80's and hoping the comic book version is good.

There isn't much else from the list of things coming out tomorrow that I am wanting at this point but that will change when I am checking them all out tomorrow. I still want to find some good comics to follow. I read Top 10 #2 and #3 and will read #4 in a bit and like it. The quirkiness of it and how things are just all over the place are interesting. I am going to find the rest that were with those in the dollar bin last week and hopefully I can get all of them except for #1 which wasn't there. I also want to find more of B.P.R.D. and check out a couple of the newer issues if they still have them.

I also really liked Tank Girl - Two Girls One Tank #1 and want to find a copy of #2 somewhere. 

I am going to not go over $20 or so but I am also running out of comics to read other than a bunch of Wonder Woman that I still need to read but I like having more of a variety to read from every day. And with Wonder Woman, I really liked the Convergence #1 issue and would like to find #2.
