Summary[edit]

At last! The epic story you've been dying to see is here, a galaxy and timeline-spanning saga bringing the two very different (and yet so very much alike) crews of the Battlestar Galacticas series together. But don't expect this historic meeting of heroes to be friendly: they have no idea why they have been brought together, or what the result of this unprecedented meeting is. And it starts here as the legendary Commander Cain and the crew of the Pegasus are revealed to be alive, and have encountered an individual they never thought they would meet: the last Cylon. All this has happened before, but there will NEVER be anything like it again![1]

Plot[edit]

Notes[edit]

Timeline[edit]

Incongruences[edit]

  • As is the case throughout the Battlestar Galactica vs. Battlestar Galactica series, the artistic depictions of the ships (and even persons) between the two different universes are either interchanged, or swapped entirely.
  • With regard to characters, Pegasus executive officer Tolan that had been featured in "The Living Legend" is unmentioned—and quite possibly either forgotten about or ignored by the author for reasons unknown—and an older character named Iollas assumes this role instead. Of note, Iollas himself is neither seen nor mentioned in future issues of Battlestar Galactica vs. Battlestar Galactica.

Nods[edit]

  • Cain's comment of "Looks like I picked the wrong day to give up command" is a likely nod to Lloyd Bridges' character of "Steve McCroskey" in Airplane! and its sequel. This is due to McCroskey being known for his "looks like I picked the wrong day to give up [on something]" statements during stressful situations the something being either "smoking," "sniffing glue," et cetera.
