They know our weaknesses. And they&#8217;ll do anything to exploit them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Galactica comes across a ship with humans on it asking for help. But the people on the ship can&#8217;t be who they say they are, because they&#8217;re all dead &#8212; including Zak, Commander Adama&#8217;s son. Some suspect they&#8217;re Cylons, but supposedly there are only 12 models of the Cylons who look like humans &#8212; and there are 33 people on the ship. Others believe that this ship fulfills a prophecy in the Sacred Scrolls &#8212; in which it says the dead shall return.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Battlestar Galactica: Complete Omnibus V.1<\/strong> is a graphic novel that was published in 2009. <strong>Battlestar Galactica<\/strong> (the reimagined version) was a TV show that lasted 4 seasons &#8212; every episode was amazing. There are also 3 original novels and a few comic books. This story takes place during the second season of the TV show.<\/p>\n<p>The main story was written by Greg Pak (the comic book <strong>The Incredible Hulk<\/strong>) and illustrated by Nigel Raynor. The short story focussing on the Pegasus was written by Brandon Jerwa (the comic book <strong>G. I. Joe<\/strong>) and illustrated by Jonathan Lau.<\/p>\n<p>The artwork is OK in itself but the characters don&#8217;t look a whole lot like their counterparts from TV.<\/p>\n<p>But the story is superb &#8212; both the characters and events fit right in with the TV show. Pak captures the tense something-is-always-going-wrong atmosphere. He gives us a new aspect to the Cylons&#8217; plan that we never heard about before &#8212; and provides a reason for the fact that we never heard about it. If you&#8217;re a fan of the show, I highly recommend this book &#8212; you won&#8217;t be able to put it down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{5\/5} &#8220;We have to be strong.
