"'Battlestar' fan or not, you'll like 'Zarek'" < Philadelphia Daily News

For the Daily News
I don't normally spotlight miniseries (or books that are two months
late), but I have to bring your attention to the just-issued
"Battlestar Galactica: Zarek" from Dynamite.
The four-issue limited series focuses on Tom Zarek - the fan-favorite
revolutionary played by original series actor Richard Hatch - and tells
how he grew up with loving parents in the slave state that is his own
Sagittaron colony and in the shadow of the First Cylon War.
As we see in the first issue, everything from the government's
repressive policies to devastating personal tragedies helped slowly
meld this innocent child into a ruthless rebel.
Whether or not you watch "Battlestar Galactica," you should enjoy this
series. The writing of Brandon Jerwa and the stunning artwork by
Adriano Batista combine to make "Zarek" a great read.
