To some "Battlestar Galactica" is a campy '70s TV show that lasted only one season.

And to others still, it's a highly successful comic book from Dynamite Entertainment, written by Greg Pak, author of, among other comics, "The Hulk" and "X-Men: Phoenix Warsong." With the latest issue #2 of "Battlestar Galactica" flying off the shelves, CBR news spoke to Pak about his involvement with the comic book to see if he, like the Cylons, has a plan.

"I'm a filmmaker by training - probably best known for my feature 'Robot Stories.' At the time my film was hitting theaters, my agent sent the screenplay to Marvel. The editors there apparently liked it, and a year or so later I was writing comics," Pak told CBR news.
