Just checked my email, and found one from Dynamic Forces about the Battlestar Galactica license. New comics based on modern Battlestar Galactica! I hope the art is as good as Red Sonja - the art from those comics from Realm Press of classic Battlestar Galactica would be a hard act to follow.

PRAISE THE LORDS OF KOBOL, BATTLESTAR IGNITES WITH DYNAMITE!

Dynamite Entertainment Prepares to Launch SCI FI’s New “Star”



May 5, 2005, Runnemede, NJ – Dynamic Forces Inc., the parent company of Dynamite Entertainment, announced today its agreement with Universal Studios Consumer Product Group to release comics based on the modern version of Battlestar Galactica. The comic series will launch Fall 2005.



“Battlestar Galactica is the new #1 show on TV, and we can’t wait to release the comics,” explained Dynamite Entertainment spokesperson J. Allen. “What we’re seeing is really unheard of in modern storytelling and television in that the classic Battlestar remains beloved while the new Battlestar remains faithful enough to the source, while allowing for bold, new directions, and in the eyes of many, exceeding all expectations thanks to the vision of Ron Moore.”

The Galactica franchise sounds like it's really taking off now, which I've been hoping for years. I heard Richard Hatch say last year he feels there's room for both worlds, meaning the new series and old one, and there's still some chance something, maybe a movie may spring from the original series...we'll have to see. The fact that Dynamite Entertainment are drawing comics with the old characters may help that happen, I would think.

Love the new BSG show.
