Fun for the Summer '07 Hiatus
I wrote this whole project while Totally Wired on Coffee, so please correct and update. I am pleased by the bases I managed to cover on derivation and copyright, but adjust and augment if there's anything wrong. I'll add in a list of items and a verification process like OSDP later, if someone else doesn't get into it. -- Spencerian 10:52, 24 April 2007 (CDT) (Talk - Contrib Skillz - Edit Skillz)
- I'll look over the project text in a moment. For my part, I've ordered the Zarek comics and have scoured e-bay to purchase some of the old BSG Marvel comics. Should be interesting. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 16:05, 24 April 2007 (CDT)
- I'm having fun tearing through the RDM comics. Lots of pleasantly contradictory things there. -- Spencerian 16:09, 24 April 2007 (CDT) (Talk - Contrib Skillz - Edit Skillz)
- I don't like the main BSG comics. The art is bad and the story doesn't seem to have the voice of the show. But the Zarek comics are actually pretty good IMO. --Serenity 16:17, 24 April 2007 (CDT)
- Yeah, I ran through one of the new BSG comics at a local bookstore and saw these things... From what I've been reading here on the wiki, it seems to me that these comics pull out many sci-fi clichés. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 16:27, 24 April 2007 (CDT)
Couple comments...
Addressing the issue of creating a separate continuity article on well-established characters (i.e. TOS's Commander Adama)... I think that it would be in our best interest to actually document all characters in a separate continuity, not just Darrin Dualla, et al. However, as Spencerian noted, it isn't all that wise to create an article on every permutation of Adama -- whether it be the Realm Press, Marvel or Dynamite. Rather, we can create a main article, such as Adama (comics) with sections covering every Adama permutation and so forth. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 16:28, 24 April 2007 (CDT)
