review:
'Battlestar Galactica: Folly of the Gods' by Cullen Bunn with art by Alex Sanchez is a graphic novel set in the world of the 1978 Sci-Fi series.

The Galactica fleet finds themselves suddenly on the verge of a black hole. Evading means tearing ships apart, so the order is given to forge on through. During this Adama is injured and falls in to a weird coma. On the other side of the black hole, they find themselves with some very unexpected allies as they battle a lost race of Cylons. Adama miraculously recovers and the ships miraculously make it out again.

It feels like a classic episode, so it gets points for that. Unfortunately, that means a story that relies of Deus Ex Machina and a feeling of not a lot of real threat at all (unless you are one of the unknown background characters). Attempts are made to tie this in with the series, so maybe true fans will appreciate that. To me, it was just more meaninglessness in a story with nothing at stake. The art seemed a bit dreadful to me also. The characters have a loosely drawn quality that is never my favorite.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Dynamite Entertainment, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
