Dynamite and NBCUniversal Television Consumer Products have announced the upcoming Battlestar Galactica: Six comic book series, set within the continuity of the reimagined 2003 Battlestar Galactica television series. It features one of its most iconic characters, the Cylon model known as Six. The first chapter of this five-issue miniseries will launch in April 2014, featuring the creative talents of writer J.T. Krul, interior artist Igor Vitorino, and cover artists Jenny Frison and Chris Bolson. A photo cover featuring actress Tricia Helfer will also be available.
Battlestar Galactica: Six takes place in the days before the last great Cylon War. Locked away in a psychiatric ward on the planet Leonis, a woman known only as Eve is haunted by memories of worlds she’s never seen, hazy images of a past full of anguish and death. One vision in particular calls to her through the pain, like a distant song echoing in her mind. It is calling her home. Is Eve crazy… or something much more? In developing the next generation of Cylons, getting the models to look human was the easy part… but acting human is another story. Longtime fans will witness the evolution of Number Six as she learns to live, to love, and to hate.
