Li'l Battlestar GalacticaThe L’l comics are always a fun alternative to the mainstream comics, taking some well known titles and characters and showing them in a unique and fun manor.

Writers Art Baltazar and Franco know just what parts of the TV series to make light off, allowing fans of the series to enjoy the comical tone without it feeling as if the series is being mocked. The issue also hade wonderful comic timing, with it feeling very slapstick at times. It was however not quite perfect, as not all of the jokes paid off. This is however a common thing with comedy in comics and it didn’t take away from the overall fun nature of the issue.

Baltazar also produced the artwork on this issue, showing the amazingly fun and innocent style that has made him famous. It is hard not to love Baltazar’s artwork in these type of stories, as although his art may not have the same level of quality as the likes of Jim Lee or Ivan Reis it has a lot of charm to it. Baltazar’s art is also a key factor behind the comedy of this issue, as he shows the character emotion in such a way that makes it hard not to laugh at the idiotic events.

Li’l Battlestar Galactica is a fun comic that can be enjoyed by both fans of the TV series or people just learning of Battlestar Galactica for the first time. It is extremely fun and I would highly recommend it.
