Publisher's summary
In this issue, all of your questions are answered about the fate of the Returners, and the status of the infected Galactica crew! Plus, see Commander Adama in action as you've never see him! All this plus the set-up for our next big story arc as the unseen adventures of the Galactica continue from Dynamite Entertainment.
Plot
- Commander Adama brings back a lost Caprican Cylon Brigade consisting of pre-Cylon War Centurions and Raiders, which concerns the entire Fleet, including President Laura Roslin.
Summary
- Fifteen minutes prior to the end of the third issue, Commander William Adama and Lieutenant Kara Thrace run into a wall of antebellum Cylons Raiders.
Notes
- Old-model Centurions communicate via "talk wireless", which Sharon Valerii can hear.
Analysis
- The Caprican Cylon Brigade has been waiting for their commander for 53 years, 4 months, and 3 days, which closely fits in with the length of the Cylon War (12 years, 6 months) and the duration of the Armistice (40 years). Therefore the events of this comic take place 10 months after the Fall of the Twelve Colonies, although this overshoots the timeline established by the episode "Pegasus" by four months. Given that this comic was produced well before "Razor", which established the duration of the Cylon War, this level of near accuracy is rather remarkable.
Questions
- Did Sharon Valerii download directly into the new body on the Raptor?
