Co-writers Joshua Ortega and Eric Nylund talk about the upcoming BSG: The Cylon War

About a year ago there was talk about Battlestar Galactica: The Cylon War, a limited series by co-writers Joshua Ortega and Eric Nylund that is set to “reveal the historic events of the first Cylon War, as well as the happenings during the 40-year truce that followed.” Now, a year later, Newsarama interviewed the writers:

• The series is only 4 issues long :( They crammed an entire war into four issues, the rise and fall of an two civilizations, and the near destruction of the human race.
• The focus is on the colonies and how they survive the (first) Cylon War. We very briefly touch on Cylon space, but most for now it will have to remain a mystery.
• You’ll see the evolution of the Centurion series throughout the Cylon War series.
• We show a little of the “second” Cylon war, but the focus in the comic series is why and how the human-created robotic forces were weaponized, how and why they turned on humanity… and how the heck humanity survived!
• Readers will be able to find out more about life in Caprica and Sagittaron pre- and during the War.
• There will be two legendary characters introduced—one human, one Cylon. Ben Tanner is the major human character we introduce in the book, and he goes through a pretty amazing character arc through the series. We’ll keep the Cylon a mystery for now, but we can say that he has some very strong ties to Ben.

I'm reading now the 1st story arc of BSG: Season Zero and enjoying very much the adventrues of the Galactica before the Cylons destoryed the colonies. So another pre TV series story looks like something I'll enjoy very much.
