Jay Santos had just about the geekiest idea ever — to do a comic combining his three loves — “Battlestar Galactica,” “The Terminator,” and, yes, “TechTV.” Santos says, “I’m a huge Sci-Fi and TechTV geek. I fell in love with ‘Battlestar Galactica’… I was thinking about Cylons and somehow Terminators popped into my head. Be kind of funny if Battlestar Galactica left Caprica and then escaped from the Cylons and then they get to Earth — and then they find out what the frack! They have toasters too. So I decided to write a fan-based comic book.”
Then, things got even geekier. Santos decided “to write many of the people [from TechTV] directly into my comic book as part of the resistance fighting the machines.” Characters include Diggnation’s Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht and “Attack of the Show” co-hosts Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn.
The 120-page comic, titled “Battlestar Galactica Vs. Skynet,” will be available for free online. Santos has a few artists working on it, but he needs more help. Interested artists should email him at zoomtechtv@yahoo.com.
