Battlestar Galactica: Gods and Monsters is an interquel for the 2000s remake.
Jul. 12th, 2025 11:18 amthanekos posting in scans_dailyIt came out over 2016-2017, several years after that'd finished - part of what Dynamite Entertainment was doing with Battlestar Galactica then.
It's a comic of something that wasn't originally a comic where the script and art aren't " This should've just been a photoplay. "
It's very neatly spliced into its source series - issue #1 opens on the " Blackbird ", the stealth Viper built in the season 2 episode Flight of the Phoenix.
Colonial Fleet-wide news echoed the note on which that'd ended - the Blackbird's construction as a reminder that " We can accomplish miracles. "
( That pricked Gaius Baltar. )

Book review: "The Tyrant Baru Cormorant"
Jul. 11th, 2025 06:11 pmToday I finished the latest book in the Baru Cormorant series (fourth book remains to-be-released), The Tyrant Baru Cormorant. Y'all, Baru is so back.
! Spoilers for books 1 & 2 below !
! Spoilers for books 1 & 2 below !
If you've looked at other reviews for the series, you may have seen book 2, The Monster Baru Cormorant, referred to as the series' "sophomore slump." I disagree, but I understand where the feeling comes from. The Monster feels like a prelude, a setting of the board, for The Tyrant. The Monster puts all the pieces in place for the cascade of schemes and plays that come in The Tyrant. They almost feel like one book split into two (which is fair—taken together, they represent about a thousand pages and would make for one mammoth novel).
If you felt like Baru was too passive in The Monster and that there wasn't enough scheming going on, I can happily report those things are wholly rectified in The Tyrant. Having located the infamous and quasi-mythological Cancrioth at the end of The Monster, Baru wastes no time in whipping into full savant plotting mode.

Batman: Dark Patterns #6 concluded The Voice Of The Tower.
Jul. 10th, 2025 07:49 pmthanekos posting in scans_dailyThe Voice is the Ventriloquist's Scarface - the Tower is Bledin Towers, a Gotham City apartment building.
Scarface's voice is guidance - he's a symbol under which some of " Bleedin' " Towers' residents've rallied, against the City's demolition plans. They've killed one Gotham cop and taken another hostage - Jim Gordon and others're outside while Batman's made his way in.
Issue #5 had Batman finding that the Ventriloquist wasn't from where Scarface was emanating - he was in the Tower, but his tongue was cut.
Someone else was speaking the gangster's words - not the Towers resident who was apparently his second, but that man's abused wife. She'd ended #5 killing her husband because Scarface told her to - and then turning to the hostage cop, who'd been restrained witness to the act.
#6 opened on Scarface's others rushing in: " What the hell happened here?! "
( She told them. )
