For the Battlestar Galactica and its fleet, which is the greater threat: what lies ahead, or what snaps at their heels? Driven into an uncharted storm zone by the pursuing Cylons, the last survivors of the Twelve Colonies discover a vast, mysterious artifact. With half of the crew haunted by chilling dreams of lost Earth, Commander Adama and Captain Apollo find themselves at odds over their course of action– a conflict that leads the leader of humankind to question if the time has come to pass the torch. Will Adama entrust the sanctity of the fleet to the next generation… and if so, would they survive the coming massive Cylon attack without his tactical genius? And finally– the origin of the traitorous Baltar is finally revealed! What kind of man could betray his own species, and how did the Cylons foster his sinister ambition?

Collecting issues 6-12 by Dan Abnett (Guardians of the Galaxy), Dietrich Smith, and Cezar Razek,along with the 2014 annual by Robert Place Napton and Kewber Baal, and featuring all of the covers by Livio Ramondelli, Colton Worley, Chris Eliopoulos, Ken Haeser, Clint Langly, and Kewber Baal.

Dynamite Announces the Death of Apollo

Posted on by

Dynamite Entertainment is revealing one of the biggest secrets of the Battlestar Galactica mythos in the upcoming miniseries event, Battlestar Galactica: The Death of Apollo. The Death of Apollo reunites the creative team of fan-favorite comic book writer Dan Abnett and talented artist Dietrich Smith in a heartwrenching chronicle of the iconic Viper pilot’s last days — an event hinted at during official TV series continuity but never before revealed.

When Battlestar Galactica first captured the hearts of sci-fi fans in 1978, the bold starfighter pilot Captain Apollo stood out as the central character of the series, defending the fleet from the Cylon menace as deftly portrayed by actor Richard Hatch. After the original series came to an end in 1979, the sequel series Galactica 1980 continued the tale of the nomadic fleet, but set years after the events of the previous run. Captain Apollo was no longer a member of the cast, and in-story dialogue strongly implied that the implacable hero had met his demise in the intervening years. This series fills in the gap between Battlestar Galactica and Galactica 1980 which officially reveals the fate of the beloved character.

The fleet has been travelling for years, and at last the human survivors seem to be leaving the war and the Cylons behind them. But the threats never go away. A voice from the past and a bizarre twist of fate leads Galactica into danger once again, and events will take place that will change everything forever.

Dynamite Entertainment has been publishing Battlestar Galactica comic books since 2006, focusing on each incarnation of the franchise from the classic continuity of the 1978 television series, to the Galactica 1980 follow-up, and finally to the reimagined series aired on Syfy from 2003 through 2009. Recently, Dynamite has published a bestselling Battlestar Galactica series by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning set in the classic continuity, as well as a miniseries focusing on Galactica’s scoundrel with a heart of gold, Starbuck.

Battlestar Galactica: The Death of Apollo #1 is slated for release in December.
