We were long overdue a proper Battlestar Galactica strip. The programme was a major inspiration for our “Frakking Kids” strip, but until now we’d never used it in a real comic of its own.
At the start of the recent remake we are told that the Cylons “have a plan”. We were a little concerned that their plan might just consist of the instruction book for a self assembly Cylon. Although such instructions are usually devoid of text, if Ikea’s product naming strategy is anything to go by then the parts that make up a Cylon could have some very bizarre names indeed.
