Your recent work is “Battlestar Galactica: Gods and Monsters”. Please can you tell us about this comic?

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: GODS AND MONSTERS is a comic set in the world of the recent Battlestar Galactica TV series. In the comic, Gaius Baltar decides to rebuild a Cylon Centurion from various battle-damaged parts he has on hand. There’s a definite Frankenstein vibe to what he’s up to. Of course, once the Centurion is up and operational, the question is: whose side is it on— humans or Cylons? Hopefully, the story keeps you guessing right up to the end.
