I really enjoyed this, the characterisation felt like genuine Farscape as did the plot/antics, and it transferred well to the comic book medium. Looking forward to reading the rest!

Farscape is back! Ahhh how I've missed all the outer space fun and frolics! This volume sets up the continuation of the series nicely offering a smooth transition from the TV series and the end of the Peacekeeper Wars. It can be enjoyed as a complete story - reminiscent of a two part episode and yet has some mysterious goings on that leave you anticipating volume 2! If you are a fan of the show then I recommend this, if not, then go treat yourself to a Farscape marathon then come back and read it!

When the Sci Fi Channel canceled Farscape, I almost swore off science fiction television. The unique show full of puppets, bodily functions, and sex offered intelligent scripts combined with good acting and quality special effects. O'Bannon returns to the universe he created with Farscape: The Beginning of the End of the Beginning, a well-crafted direct sequel to the original series. Picking up soon after the conclusion of Peacekeeper Wars, the surviving crew helps Rigel regain his throne. As expected, things don't go as planned when old enemies show up. O'Bannon expertly explores John's and Aeryn's struggles with parenthood and Chyna's grief over the death of D'Argo. At times sensational, artist Tommy Patterson does an adequate job capturing the visual look of the series. The book falters by creating too many dangling plotlines. I assume these will be covered in future volumes, but here they are just distracting. While not as good as the source material, Farscape: The Beginning of the End of the Beginning offers fans the next best thing to new episodes of the original show.
