GHOSTS collects Dynamite Entertainment’s first Galactica story featuring an all-new and original cast of characters from the acclaimed Sci Fi series!
Written by Brandon (NEW BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: ZAREK) Jerwa, with art by Jonathan (NEW BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: ORIGINS) Lau and covers by Dennis (Legion of Super-heroes) Calero, this trade paperback collection also features a complete cover gallery by Calero.
“With the usual Cylon plotting and threats, Jerwa makes sure we remember this is a Galactica story, but a unique one with fresh faces. Chances are, you’ll want to see them again. In the meantime, catch them while you can.â€
