May solicitations

Since last writing here I dropped off my reading list most of the Star Wars series and the Marvel Illustrated series and added Buffy. Star Wars because they are covering too many eras while I'm only interested in the movies characters. Marvel Illustrated due to economics. The price for a single issue was upped to $4 which make the trades paperbacks cheaper. I added Buffy although I disliked the series because the comics are fun and interesting. I needed to trim my reading list because with all the new titles coming up, some of which are listed bellow it was getting out of hand.

Writers Talk "Battlestar Galactica: Cylon War"

From CBR:

• We use the events that open the television series – i.e the bombing of Caprica – as the frame for this miniseries/ We then go back and explain all the reasons that that happened – not just the treaty violation that we’ve seen in the television series, but we delve deeper into the reasons why the Cylons hate humanity so much. We also show a bit of the early history of the 12 colonies – the good times and the bad. As you can imagine, with twelve disparate societies all interacting there’s a lot of opportunity for rich and complex interactions. And, of course, conflict. But amidst all the conflict, you will get to see at least some happier times for Caprica, though unfortunately, they won't last too long.
• Leading the resistance on behalf of humanity falls on the shoulders of new character and Caprica native Ben Tanner, who Ortega described as “an old soldier when the book opens, but we'll also get to see him as a teenager and as he grows into a man and becomes an important part of Galactica history. H has a very full character arc in this series.”
  “He ends up being very important to Galactica history,” Nylund agreed. “More than any one character, I’d say he has the most intimate relationship with the Cylons. With regards to the other characters in a television series, we’re careful not to force anything; after all, the events of this first Cylon War happened 40 years before the beginning of the television show. There are one or two of the older characters, however, that we just couldn’t resist including.”
• Of course, humanity isn’t alone in the series, as the titular Cylons leading the war have a life much closer to humans in this part of the BSG timeline than they do in the TV show. “Prior to the first Cylon war, robotic companions and servants were fairly common in, at least, Caprican society. Their relationships are pivotal to the events that set in motion the cataclysmic war,” Nylund said. “As a science fiction writer, the robots give me a mirror to reflect present-day societal concerns. They view humanity with a logical and unbiased eye (something we have a hard time doing ourselves). As a storyteller – that’s pure gold.”
• Ortega agreed, “And the notion of fully functional, autonomous A.I. is a fascinating one to explore, just in of itself, even without any allegory. But then you mix in that metaphor and deeper meaning. On the human/Cylon note, a strong character like Tanner is the key. Cylons can be all around him, but he’ll be anchoring this tale throughout, with a few surprises along with way, of course.”
• We cram decades of wartime action, the disintegration and reuniting of all of humanity and the rise of the new sentient race in four issues – we really want to give our fans their moneys worth,” explained Nyund, who teased explanations for how the twelve colonies united, why robotic life rose up against humanity, how and why the Battlestars came into existence, not to mention “how the heck humanity survived a war against a clearly technologically superior race and how they fracked it all up.”
