It was down to the wire, but Dynamite Entertainment made it through with a sneak peek of titles arriving at stores this week. Take the jump for Battlestar Galactica: The Cylon War #1, and The Death Defying Devil #2.
Dynamite Entertainment has a slew of titles arriving in stores this week, and the company has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of The Lone Ranger #16, Army of Darkness #15, New Battlestar Galactica: Ghosts #1, Man with No Name: The Good, the Bad, and the Uglier #6, Red Sonja Vol 5 TPB, Painkiller Jane vs. Terminator Volume 1 TPB, and New Battlestar Galactica Season Zero Volume 1 TPB.
Last week, we told you about the Profiles in History auction where you can spend your hard earned cash to own a piece of Hollywood memorabilia. Digging around the World Web Internets like we always do, lead us to discover another auction coming up in January that is auctioning off a ton of Battlestar Galactia props.
What looks good on this list? In addition to detailed set plans and sketches, Tricia Helfer’s red dress is sure to get someone’s interest. You’re going to have to spend between $10,000 and $12,000 to get it, and it doesn’t come with Tricia Helfer. The one I want? The full size Cylon Raider, made of metal, foam, and wood, that measures 29 feet by 18.6 feet by 4.8 feet. Whoever pays the $40,000 for this is going to need a warehouse to store this thing. One day, when Major Spoilers makes a huge profit, and Major Spoilers HQ buys its own building, we’ll get one of these for the lobby.
The auction takes place on Saturday, January 17, 2009 and Sunday, January 18, 2009 at the Pasadena Convention Center. If you can’t afford, check out preview day, which is open to the public.
NOTE: If anyone goes to this, let me know, we want lots of pictures!

The Sci Fi Channel has given the green light to the Battlestar Galactica prequel series Caprica.
“Caprica” will star Eric Stoltz, Esai Morales, Paula Malcomson and Polly Walker, and will be set 50 years prior to “Galactica’s” seminal attack on human civilization by those dreaded ‘droids the Cylons. Family-drama-themed series will focus on the Earthlike planet of Caprica as two rival families deal with, among other topical issues, the broader implications of their society’s emerging artificial intelligence technology sector.
The two-hour pilot is already complete, and the channel is looking at a 2010 launch date. I really like the current BSG series, but I’ve got mixed feelings about Caprica. There isn’t going to be any space travel shoot’em ups, and the prospect of a drama discussing the rival families amidst the rise of A.I. seems rather CW in nature.
Check out the promo spot for the final episodes of the new Battlestar Galactica. The wife and I only got interested in the series about two years ago, and have devoured everything till now. Can’t wait for the kick in the teeth ending of the series.
Final episodes of Battlestar Galactica are just around the corner, but to keep the action going, Dynamite Entertainment is taking readers back in time to the beginning of the Cylon War. The mini-series will follow the events leading up to the attack on Caprica, and is written by Joshua Ortega and Eric Nylund, with art by Nigel Raynor.
“We’re taking this to a level we’ve never done before, and told the entire origin story! We’ve taken these characters and events and told their unseen stories, all under the watchful eyes of the producers (and with their blessing!),” explained Dynamite Associate Editor Joe Rybandt in a prepared statement. “Now, we’ve taken that model one GIANT step forward – actually, more like BACKWARD – as we tell the story of the rise of the Cylons and their first deadly contact with their makers. Ortega and Nylund are the perfect pair to bring us the history and conflict of this incredible period from Battlestar Galactica.”
