"Dreams of the Thirteenth" continues! The Galactica has led the fleet into an uncharted storm zone to escape the Cylons, but danger awaits. Haunted by chilling dreams of the lost colony of Earth, the crews of the fleet encounter a vast and mysterious artifact at the heart of the storm. Sensors report that the Cylons have pursued the fleet into the storm. Which is the greatest threat: what lies ahead or what snaps at their heels?

Notes

Publication Releases

• A version of this issue, the Battlestar Galactica #8 Exclusive Subscription Variant, released in December 2013. Per the publisher:

  A super-special, exclusive Chris Eliopoulos Cute cover, only available to comic shop subscribers and limited to initial orders!

Visual

• The issue visually differs from earlier installments from this point forward due to the change in artists. Amongst the detailed-oriented, realistic artwork, a few noteworthy changes occur:
  • Xam is no longer a bald man with a goatee and mustache, but now with a full head of hair and a mustache.
  • Madusa no longer has a cropped hair style, but is now shoulder length.
  • Adama no longer has a goatee and mustache, and is clean shaven.
  • Vipers no longer look like their Re-imagined Series counterparts (the Viper Mark II), but more like the Original Series counterpart. The notable exception being the striping color: it is red whereas it should be more orange.
  • Hightail is no longer a male with a goatee and mustache, but a female with blonde hair.
• Adama's uniform is colorized in cerulean blue, contrasting the midnight blue of the officers (e.g. Tigh and Athena).
• Officers in the lower levels of the core command are also dressed in midnight blue officers outfits, instead of tans (e.g. Rigel).
• Over the first few pages, Adama's outfit is depicted as having both a cape and an open tabard with the silver trimming detail.
• This issue introduces a variant to the Colonial outfit, an olive green version of the officer's uniform worn by Xam.
