(Classic) Battlestar Galactica: The Death of Apollo #1

Dynamite Entertainment launches this 2014 miniseries with a cover by Mike Mayhew that sets an immediately arresting tone: a Colonial Warrior in full flight suit drifts lifelessly through open space, arms outstretched, with the curve of a planet below and a fleet of Battlestar-era ships looming in the star-filled distance. Writer Dan Abnett and artist Dietrich Smith take on the classic Battlestar Galactica universe with a title that doesn't shy away from high stakes right from issue one. If you've ever had a soft spot for the original series, this opening chapter looks like a compelling reason to strap in.
