It's supposed to be a prequel to the show. Show us what the characters were doing up to the first episode I suppose

Ah. Cool. Adding it to the pull list then.

The number skipping thing appears to be back for the SGA line. Gateways #3 is up for pre-order on the AM shop, but I don't see Gateways #2 there.
(As a Wraith fan, I am loving those 3 covers though
and hoping no one gets "wiped out" as the one preview had said about Janus' genocidal intentions- not the Wraith, not the grey beings, nor any other races!)
I plan to order the issues for part 3 with part 2, if they are being released around the same time, and save on shipping.Last edited by WraithTech; 15 October 2016, 08:05 AM.Comment

I read the first issue of "Gateways" last night and it was MUCH better than the first three issue "episode."
First off, SWAT's artwork is more polished than the previous artist and his likenesses, while looser, are better at differentiating the various characters from one another. The illustrations are more "animated" and vivid in this issue. I'm definitely liking the new visual style of the series.
In matching with the new cleaner lines of the artwork, the story has also become more delineated. Not so much hopping around to different locales and separate groups of characters.
My favorite addition to this series are the multiple footnotes available over the course of the issue, pointing out references to episodes of the TV series. For instance, a visit to the Tower planet has a footnote indicating that this location is from the episode "the Tower." For an old fan like me, I appreciate the reminders and having the callbacks highlighted.
All in all, an enjoyable start to the new arc and a much-improved style in both art and writing for the series as a whole.Comment

I liked the space ship scenes - they were fantastically drawn and were really 'animated' as you said. It really felt like watching a scene from the show. I enjoy the new artists but I'm not sure why they seem so obsessed with the method of shading a character's face with a section of their faces being blue? Seemed overused to me.
I thought the story was actually a bit slower than Back to Pegasus but it was still enjoyable. I'm curious to see where it goes. SGA has needed another antagonistic force, imho. I'd have loved to have seen the Greyliens fleshed out in the show so I'm glad they're getting the chance to now.Comment

Yeah, I'm liking the start if this one so far. Story was better paced, art was better, characters looked more like themselves.
I'm excited for this one!

Yeah, I was happy that was clarified, both in dialogue and visually; but given how she was drawn in the first arc, it was easy to assume otherwise.Comment

Maybe SWAT could answer this for us, but it looked to me like those sections of characters' faces were left like that for digital inking and were shaded by the colorist instead. That's my guess, anyway.Originally posted by Super Hive View PostComment

This is definitely better than the first set of issues, I like the artwork and the callbacks are really nice to think about and remember.
One thing I did notice is that the Travelers still seem to have their ancient ship.... Too bad it was mentioned that it was blown up in season 5 when a gate exploded (I think the episode was The Lost Tribe?)
Aside from this somewhat major inconsistency it's still pretty good.sigpicComment

Yeah I noticed that as well. They can always BS some explanation around that: maybe Katana planted false information to understate the Traveller's military force? As long as they didn't conveniently find another one I'm fine with a plausible excuse.
One massive thing I noticed, however, is that:

I went back to watch the episode and they were really upset that they lost so many people, more so that they had to have a settlement on a planet since they hadn't in so long, so I don't think it was them understating what they had. Like you said though, they will probably just BS it since it was probably just forgotten and turns into a continuity issue.Originally posted by Super Hive View Post
I think she's just still out there, others have survived for a long time and she really needs a good ending.sigpicComment

Gave these a read today, the three Back to Pegasus issues and the first Gateways issue.
Hoooo boy. Not good. Genuinely surprised to see if getting any kind of positive response.
I know - opinions, a-holes, etc etc.Last edited by DigiFluid; 03 December 2016, 06:39 PM."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in.
