B5 COMICS
|
|
|
|
Issue #1 of DC's Babylon 5 comic, written by JMS, is "In Darkness Find Me,"
|
|
the flip-side of incidents that took place in "Points of Departure." The
|
|
artists are Michael Netzer and Rob Leigh. Issue #1 shows Sinclair being
|
|
recalled to Earth and assigned to Minbar.
|
|
|
|
The next seven issues of the comic are based on premises by JMS as well.
|
|
Issues 2-4 are written by Mark Moretti. Sinclair begins his new role as
|
|
Earth's first ambassador to Minbar as the Grey Council convenes to install
|
|
the new Minbari leader, and a Psi-Cop arrives on B5 with news about a plot
|
|
to assassinate that leader. Issues 5-8 will be written by Tim DeHaas with
|
|
art by John Ridgeway. The story of how Sinclair and Garibaldi met and
|
|
formed their friendship is intercut with a present-day story featuring
|
|
Garibaldi and Keffer.
|
|
|
|
B5 CD-ROM
|

|
|
The CD-ROM from Compton's is postponed indefinitely because of internal

|
problems within the company. JMS has stated he expects it in Summer 1995.
|
|
|
|

|
|
Finally, look for the first release of B5 videotapes (first season

|
|
follow in the summer.
