- Commander Adama and the remnants of humanity discover a second fugitive fleet, fleeing a different mortal enemy. Can the two armadas join forces, making common cause against the dreaded Cylons? And what would success mean for the quest for Earth? New York Times bestselling author and comics writer JOHN JACKSON MILLER (Star Wars, Star Trek, Halo) joins Dynamite for a miniseries timed for Battlestar Galactica's 40th anniversary year![1]

- Issue 0 was priced at $0.35 USD in keeping with the nostalgia factor influenced by the Battlestar Galactica Marvel comics.
Nods
Errata
Creative
- 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 "refresher" (bathroom) from the Star Wars 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 errata section.)[2]

Official Statements
- 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 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 had that I might be interested in, I immediately said the original Galactica was right up my street. I proposed a series to editor Anthony Marques, and then we were off.[3]
- Miller touches upon the confusion on depictions for ships, characters, and other visual cues between the Original Series and its Re-imagined counterpart. Whether it’s for Star Wars, Mass Effect, 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 can be trickier![2]
