Dynamite have been doing good work mining licenses out of the past, but it’s possible the fumes are getting to them. They’ve announced Battlestar Galactica: 1880, a steampunk Cylon invasion, and in an interview with Bleeding Cool writer Tony Lee made sure to talk up connections to Star Wars and Pacific Rim as well.
