* John Jackson Miller shared notes on this installment via his website, of note: | |||
** The double-page spread on pages 8 and 9 were crafted to be read properly were they segmented, allowing for the realities of digital comics and the insertion of possible automated advertisements in comic book reader programs. | |||
** He compliments Daniel HDR's direction, liking the visual introduction to [[Parrin]] and [[Grust]] on page 10. | |||
** While eschewing various "alternate" terminologies for common places items or verbiage, noting that he retired the term "[[Wookiepedia:Refresher|refresher]]" (bathroom) from the ''Star Wars'' [[Wookiepedia:Expanded Universe|Expanded Universe]]'s lexicon, he elected to retain them in his ''Galactica'' stories. (With a few exceptions that could be attributed to "slip-ups," see the [[Battlestar Galactica Classic 0#Errata|errata section]].)<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://farawaypress.com/comics/battlestargalacticacounterstrike/battlestargalacticacounterstrike0/|title=THE STORIES BEHIND THE STORIES: Battlestar Galactica: Counterstrike #0|last=Miller|first=John Jackson|accessdate=6 August 2022}}</ref> | |||

* ''[[John Jackson Miller]] discusses the origins of the book series.'' I’d been looking to do something for ''Galactica'' for a long time; I even had written a script that was intended for one of the old [[Realm Press]] ''Galactica'' titles back in the late 1990s, long before I did any other professional work. In between, there was the [[RDM|reimagined series]], and of course I did all my comics and novel work for licenses like ''[[Star Wars]]'' and ''[[Star Trek]]''. But I remained interested — and when [[Nick Barrucci]] and I began discussing licenses that [[Dynamite Comics|Dynamite]] had that I might be interested in, I immediately said the [[TOS|original ''Galactica'']] was right up my street. I proposed a series to editor Anthony Marques, and then we were off.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://westfieldcomics.com/blog/2018/09/07/interview-john-jackson-miller-on-dynamites-battlestar-galactica-classic/|title=INTERVIEW: JOHN JACKSON MILLER ON DYNAMITE’S BATTLESTAR GALACTICA CLASSIC|date=07 September 2018|publisher=Westfield Comics|accessdate=06 August 2022}}</ref> | |||
* ''Miller touches upon the confusion on depictions for ships, characters, and other visual cues between the [[Original Series]] and its [[Re-imagined Series|Re-imagined counterpart]].'' Whether it’s for ''[[Star Wars]], [[W:Mass Effect|Mass Effect]], [[W:Halo|Halo]]'', or any of the other franchises I’ve written comics for, I always try to include footnotes for the artist when ships and characters appear, to make sure that the correct versions appear. It’s particularly important with ''Battlestar Galactica'', because variant versions of many things exist from the 2003 “reimagined series.” Nobody would confuse [[Dirk Benedict]] with [[Katee Sackhoff]], but things like the ships of [[The Fleet (TOS)|the fleet]] can be trickier!<ref name=":0" /> | |||
