The ultimate collection FARSCAPE fans have been waiting for! This handsome hardcover features the first four issues of the first arc of the Farscape comic series as written by series creator

Rockne S. O'Bannon. Includes a bevy of bonus materials that make this a must-have item for hard-core 'Scapers and new fans alike!


First I have to admit when this TV series first premiered I was unable to really get involved in the story. At the time of its release I wasn't watching much More...

I've been missing the show, so was pleased to see this graphic novel/glorified comic. It's always comforting to revisit old friends, especially when their personalities, relationships, ticks and idiosyncracies have been kept intact. The witty quips, arguments, and uncurrent of friendship were well preserved here.

The story revolves around Moya and crew helping Rigel reclaim his rightful throne as Dominar. At first only Chiana and D'Argo's son accompany him to his home planet. Those tw More...

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 ex More...

The story was a worthy continuation from where The Peacekeeper Wars left off, but not particularly well-written. I'd be more interested in reading an actual novel of this story, but from a better author than DeCandido. It was O'Bannon's story, but DeCandido was responsible for fleshing it out. The way they speak on the show is great for the screen, but in print, it reads pretty corny at times. I'm not a comic reader, so I'm perhaps not the best judge, but the artwork looked a little too mess More...

Solid fun for fans of the TV series. This picks up right during the final scene from the Peacekeeper Wars, and shows us the start of Crichton and Aeryn's lives as parents, and how they cope with that while being dragged, unsurprisingly, into more dangerous messes. Story-wise, this doesn't quite measure up to the series at its best (although it's very good), but the characters ring true, and the writing is spot on. It's great that we can get more of this story than the SciFi channel let us have. More...

This is an excellent continuation to the series Farscape. If you haven't ever watched the series you should check it out on Netflix, they have the whole series streaming. This graphic novel plays like four episodes of the series telling this one overall arc. The major storyline is putting Rygel back on the throne of Hyneria. While the secondary story has a mysterious figure with red eyes following John, Aeryn, Deke (John and Aeryn's son). Amazingly drawn it captures the heart and soul of the tel More...

For fans of the Farscape series, these graphic novels are a welcome continuation to the plot and characters otherwise unavailable.

This first book is dedicated to Rygel and his attempt to regain his former throne. Crichton and Aeryn also come to terms with becoming parents, Chiana and Jothee deal with D'Argo's death, and Scorpius deals with life without Scarrans.

Overall this could have fit into 2-3 show episodes, and it makes sense that it feels like television because th More...

Farscape has become one of my favorite scifi series and it was so sad when it ended. I am glad that they started it up again in comics, and it's the same off the wall series it was before.

In the first installment, we see Rygel trying to take back Hyneria. Aeryn and John are having problems with Deke crying all the time and Chiana is having problems dealing with D'Argo's death.

I read the individual comic books, not the TPB, after all 4 were released.

This is an excellent comic series from Boom!Studios and written by the creators of the TV series. All the stories are considered to be official canon and deal with events following The Peacekeeper Wars.

I'm not a comic book fan, but I just treat he'd the TV series and really wanted to know what happens next. Wish they'd write a novelization, but I'll keep reading the comics since that's my only option.

Fun but not brilliant. There were a lot of "character moments" (expressions and actions that made the characters on the page seem very like the characters on the screen) that I enjoyed at first, but by the end it felt like that was almost all there was.

This was pretty engaging. There were some gems that I wish could have been fleshed out in a more detailed format but I'll take what I can get.

An excellent read with all the fun from the show. I liked how it showed Rygel's growth.

Just like the TV show in terms of story, even if the art isn't 100% solid.

Uncannily like the series itself, both in quality, and in the way it feels - which is to say it feels exactly like new episodes of the show.
