Thanks for putting up this link Bijou88! Here's one to the page though.

This new story they've got planned sounds intriging; "Cylon Apocalypse".

Quote:
"It's a big, epic war story about Adama having to make a daring forward assault on the Cylons even as he has to protect his fleet and more importantly his ethics," Grillo-Marxuach explained. "It's also a story about Starbuck balancing his roguish nature with a growing understanding of his own mortality. And it's also about blowing up the frackin' bad guys. A lot of frackin' bad guys."

While Grillo-Marxuach acknowledges and was certainly careful to stay within the established boundaries of classic "Battlestar Galactica," he also wanted to challenge himself as a writer and try something a little different and perhaps push the characters and situations in new and unique directions. "The place where I did allow myself to bring in some new blood was on the Cylon side. I wanted to create a crisis in the Cylon leadership without treading on some of the territory that the new series is exploring so splendidly. In this miniseries, you will get a little more of a glimpse of the Cylon hierarchy and see them suppress a serious threat from within," said Grillo-Marxuach.


Hmmm... enough synopsis to get any Galactica fan curious.

Since the Cylons in the classic series are based on the ancient Roman Empire. The story sounds almost like those bickering I.L. Series Cylons are squabling for power in the Cylon senate or to over throw the Imperious Leader i suppose?

Who said the original series couldn't go in a more dramatic direction eh?

Hope these new BG comics turn out to be alright, as they sound full of promise!
