Fanboys rejoice. Playboy has announced that Tricia Helfer, who plays Six on the Sci-Fi Channel’s Battlestar Galactica, will pose nude for an issue due out next month. “On Battlestar Galactica she's known as Number Six, but we can't think of her as anything less than a 10,” read Playboy’s predictably tacky press release.

Dynamite Entertainment has released a new limited comic book series about Richard Hatch’s character Zarek. Battlestar Gala-tica: Zarek No.1 focuses on the life of Zarek, the political extremist, terrorist and one-time presidential candidate on Galactica. The series is written by Brandon Jerwa and illustrated by Adriano Batista.

Finally, Sci-Fi will run a Galactica marathon on Jan. 15. The marathon will air all of the first half of season three starting at 8 a.m. The marathon will feature a crawl with selected fan comments starting at noon.
