DYNAMITE stated, “Tom Zarek is an incredibly influential part of the Battlestar Galactica history. His deep roots in rebellion and his bold transgression into a philosophical political leader have Battlestar fans craving to know more - and Brandon [writer, Jerwa] is giving it to them as he brings to light new details of Zarek’s life with every issue in a masterful balance of action, intrigue and mystery. The interiors by Adriano [artist, Batista] and additional cover by Stjepan Sejic are every bit as powerful as the story. We’re looking at this as more than a mini-series event, this is Galactica history in the making.”

From Dynamite Entertainment comes a new Battlestar Galactica mini-series starring Tom Zarek, the loyalty-testing revolutionary played by original series actor Richard Hatch.

As the First Cylon War draws to a close, Tom Zarek begins to walk the line between revolutionary and terrorist. Zarek's Sagittaron Freedom Movement will begin its rise to power, making him a hero to some and a menace to others... but his burgeoning empire might crumble from the inside if he's not careful! Passion, betrayal and violence all play their parts as the origin tale of this enigmatic Battlestar Galactica character continues!

Written by Brandon Jerwa, illustrated by Adriano Batista and featuring stunning and cinematic covers by both Batista and Stjepan Sejic, Tom Zarek: The Revolution Within is a must-read.
