MEMORIAL Part 1! 2013 marks the 35th anniversary of the original Battlestar Galactica TV series and to celebrate Dynamite is launching a brand new series, written by cosmic supremos, Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning (Legion, Nova, Guardians of the Galaxy)! Set in classic BSG continuity, this series celebrates 35 years of epic space opera when, following a surprise Cylon attack, Adama and the crew of the Galactica are forced to deploy Dr Zee's experimental temporal weapons with unexpected results that leave Apollo and Starbuck lost in time and space in an alternate reality with no Galactica and no way of returning home!

Notes

Publication Releases

• A version of this issue, the Battlestar Galactica #1 Exclusive Subscription Variant, released in May 2016. Per the publisher:

  For comic fans that sign up ahead of time with their comic shop to reserve this issue, you can receive an exclusive Chris Eliopoulos Cute Exclusive cover! This Super Special Subscription Variant is only available for Comic Shop subscribers and limited to INITIAL orders ONLY!

• Only 25 copies of a "High-End 'Photo' Ultra-Limited" variant of this issue were released in May 2016. Per the publisher:

  ONLY 25 COPIES IN EXISTENCE! Lorne Greene, Richard Hatch, and Dirk Benedict appear as Adama, Apollo, and Starbuck on this super-rare photo variant! Ships bagged and boarded with a Dynamite Certificate of Authenticity.

Timeline

• The comic deliberately uses Adama's facial hair as a "hallway between full beard of 1980 and clean shaven BSG," further noting that they've been "musing the years they've been forced to roam the galaxy, forever hunted by the relentless, merciless Cylons."
• Furthermore, the events of this comic take place a number of yahrens after the Battle at Galaxy's Edge depicted in "The Hand of God."

Questions

• What are Doctor Zee's origins?
• How many yahrens have the Fleet been searching for Earth?
• How long have the Colonials known of temporal weapons? Are the Cylons aware of them?
• What are the conditions within the Fleet?
