Just in time to soothe the nerves of Galactica fans gripping over the soon-to-end series, TokyoPop, maker of all things manga (Japanese comics) will be releasing (April 7th) a manga version of Battlestar Galactica. Here is a snippet of the manga (there is a button to go full screen for easier viewing):

It certainly has the manga ‘look and feel’ to it, though I can’t tell from the preview whether this book will be right to left (traditional Japanese style) or the Americanized left to right, probably the latter. What I find interesting here is that manga, which is apparently very big right, targets the teen set and this brings Galactica, and SF, to that audience. Yes, there are already SF manga titles, but this is a big SF name and will, hopefully, encourage some readers to check the whole SF thing out.
