Galaxy Quest: The Comic?
FILED UNDER: News. Comics, Movies.
Galaxy Quest is easily one of my favorite movies of all time. What at first glance appears to be a cheesy, B-level, sci-fi flick turns out to be a wonderfully-written and hilarious parody of cheesy, B-level, sci-fi flicks. With a surprisingly talented cast including Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, and Sam Rockwell (as the death-obsessed redshirt, Guy) Galaxy Quest manages to poke fun at nearly every cliché in the sci-fi genre, including the horrible conventions. But for fans of the film, the promise of more Galaxy Quest stories at its conclusion is a disappointing tease, knowing that we'll never get to experience those further adventures of the NSEA Protector. Thankfully, IDW Publishing is about to change all of that with a five-part comic series set to begin in August.
The first issue, titled Global Warning, takes place shortly after the end of the film, with Galaxy Quest: The Journey Continues hitting the airwaves once again after about a 20 year hiatus. But before they can resume their television roles, an impending crisis befalls Earth, and it's up to our favorite crew to save the day. Hit the jump for quotes from the publisher, and a video montage of Galaxy Quest moments!
