This
month I'll be looking at the Stargate SG-1 Convention Special
comic book. There was an art cover for 2.99 & a photo cover
for 3.95. There was also a platinum edition that was offered
as a dealer incentive. Which basically means if the dealer buys
"x" amount of the regular books they can order 1 of these. This
edition is the same art cover with the SG-1 logo in foil lettering.
Also recently announced is yet another art cover due out in
the near future.
Now
onto the meat of the book. There is only 9 story pages, a couple
of pin-ups & two preview pages for the P.O.W. series. The art
is just slightly above average with the men looking pretty good
(not great but passible) but Sam is unidentifiable. She's only
in 2 panels but if you didn't know who she was supposed to be
you'd never guess.

The
story is extremely short so you don't really have time to get
into the rythem. It's set in the middle of a battle with Teal'C,
Bra'tac & Daniel on the ground fighting Jaffa. Jack & Sam are
onboard a Pyramid ship trying to disable it. The plot is one
we've all seen & read before. With the exception of Teal'c &
Bra'tac there is no character interaction.
I was really looking forward to this comic & was pretty disappointed
overall. Hopefully the series that begins in January will take
the time to play out a better story & give us some character
development. I give this one 2 Chevrons. The cover price is
too high for so little. This one's for die hards only.
