Newsarama has posted an interview with the creative team behind the “Battlestar Galactica” comic book, including writer Greg Pak, penciler Nigel Raynor, and cover artist Billy Tan. A few excerpts:

NRAMA: When you started work on this project, did you find yourself saying “I have to use these characters because I love them” and creating a situation for them, or did the situation come first?
GREG PAK: : There was one emotional storyline in particular that hit me hard during the first season – I can’t say what it was right now for fear of spoilers, but when you read Issue #0 you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. And when I was thinking about what the comic book should be, I kept coming back to that storyline. I knew there was more to explore there on an emotional level, and when I came up with a hook that could tie it in to questions of the Cylon’s origins and the Cylon/human relationships, I knew I had a story.

NRAMA: Tell us about a Greg Pak script, and what the working process is like between the two of you.
NIGEL RAYNOR: Well we’ve only really started to work together but he seems happy with what I’ve given him so far, which is really great for me. I’ve read the first four scripts now. After finishing them I had a big cheesy grin on my face ‘cause I knew I was going to enjoy the hell out drawing all this stuff he’s got coming up. It’s got all the melodrama, comedy and action you get from the show and quite a few surprises too!
