Final episodes of Battlestar Galactica are just around the corner, but to keep the action going, Dynamite Entertainment is taking readers back in time to the beginning of the Cylon War. The mini-series will follow the events leading up to the attack on Caprica, and is written by Joshua Ortega and Eric Nylund, with art by Nigel Raynor.
“We’re taking this to a level we’ve never done before, and told the entire origin story! We’ve taken these characters and events and told their unseen stories, all under the watchful eyes of the producers (and with their blessing!),” explained Dynamite Associate Editor Joe Rybandt in a prepared statement. “Now, we’ve taken that model one GIANT step forward – actually, more like BACKWARD – as we tell the story of the rise of the Cylons and their first deadly contact with their makers. Ortega and Nylund are the perfect pair to bring us the history and conflict of this incredible period from Battlestar Galactica.”
