    Looks much more Engineer-esque. I wonder what the predator's ultimate prey is...an Engineer really does seem like the likeliest and most obvious choice, unless it's Galgo himself (I hope it isn't)

    Williamson did say early on that the Predator in this story is after a proverbial white whale. Of course that was back in October of 2013 when he said that, and since they said that this story is the last to be released... That might have changed.

    But this Omega book... Hmmm..

    That's what I was referring to. People seeing the similarities between some of the comic artwork and the Amanda Ripley designs for Isolation, etc.

    Gotcha!  :)

    I will say though that the Aliens cover we got today put some of those Amanda Ripley thoughts to rest for me, assuming that it's supposed to be the same woman on both covers.

    Okay.. So let's go over what we know..

    No Super Predators.. No Preserve Planet.

    Thank God for those being excluded... But something a bit crazy is being thought of in mind. This has me anxious.

    the rumors are true that it's also going to tie together with the current 'Alien' trilogy of novels and Alien: Isolation, it could be pretty great (if they pull it off).

    Remind me.. What rumors?

    I asked Chris Roberson on Twitter just now if there will be any connections to the Titan books. Still waiting for a reply.

    Aside from that, I don't know about any rumors other than speculation on here.

    I... don't know how to feel about the reboot characters getting toys.
    It's objectively awesome.

    This kind of cross-platform multimedia stuff reminds me of Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, where it got a novel, a comic series, a video game, a soundtrack, and a toyline.

    If they're really aiming for having these new comics tie in with each other and they're getting their own toyline, and the rumors are true that it's also going to tie together with the current 'Alien' trilogy of novels and Alien: Isolation, it could be pretty great (if they pull it off).

    QuoteWhen did Weyland-Yutani merge?

    Sometime between 2094 and 2120.

    If you take the service records from the DVDs into account then it could be between 2094 and 2108.

    When Weyland and his heir don't return, it could've thrown the Company into some turmoil necessitating a merger.  And all this could've happened within a few years of Prometheus.

    QuoteJW: Actually the order of the books will be Prometheus, Alien, AVP with Predator coming out last. We'll actually be announcing the release dates at ECCC.

    SA: Well, Predator is the last of the four miniseries, but then the fifth book, the Omega book, wraps it all up.

    QuoteThese seventeen issues aren't the most massive interconnected story comics readers have been asked to check out. But we are working hard to strike a balance to allow each writer to tell a whole story, and each reader to read only the books he wants to read.

    QuoteJW: Galgo's a character that first appears in Prometheus, but makes his way through AVP and into Predator, becoming the main character for my book.

    Very, very interesting. "Fire and Stone" as the overall umbrella title and "Omega" with a mystery writer? I won't even speculate on who the mystery writer will be, since we'll find out this weekend, but I'm thinking this might be a direct teaser for Prometheus 2, perhaps. Or maybe that's where the real Engineer/Xeno/Predator crossover battle royale stuff will happen. As far as "Fire and Stone," fire has the obvious Prometheus connections, but we'll have to wait and see.

    As far as setting, I'd say it's safe to say they'll take place shortly after Prometheus.

    As far as figures, I'd love one of Galgo with that Engineer rifle, and an adult Deacon or Xeno-Deacon would look nice on my shelf.

    Machino got a Toy, yeah the Hot Toys one.
    Broken Tusk might.

    That pales in comparision to an entire (new also) series of characters.

    To me the more represented it is the more official it is and not tucked under the carpet.
    Hence why I follow the Star Wars tier system for every franchise. Movies of the main series being the main "canon" if you will.

    Well.. already previous EU characters are having their own toys released. There are talks of Machiko and Broken Tusk getting toys.. Sooooo... Heh heh! We need a shrug emoticon here.

    I feel gooood they should be more official than anything previously, shows they're serious.

    I don't see how toys of reboot characters would make anything previous less official.

    It shows they have confidence in this product.
    If it's as successful as they think (More so than the previous comics) then you can be damn sure it's official.

    I would think that the artist was going for a H.R. Giger feel in terms of designing that weapon and anyone familiar Giger knows what he often puts in his work. So maybe it's the artist trying to invoke Giger.

    Topazora, that's perfect then for a race that seems obsessed with curves to the point of making bio-weapons that rape you and have Phallic shaped monsters.

    Now that is a bad-ass cover... And it seems Galgo is using an Engineer weapon! Interesting!

    But the article has my attention! And.. fifth book, Omega? Hmmm..

    But the big bonus for me? Williamson is using the first two films as his main inspiration! Good! Good! Just one thing though... will we see any preserve planets in the Predator book? If that answer is yes.. That's a deal break for me but I am hoping we don't.

    QuoteRoberson will team with artist Patrick Reynolds for "Aliens" as part of a relaunched line of comics, alongside Joshua Williamson's "Predators," Paul Tobin's "Prometheus" and Chris Sebella's "AVP" -- as well as one more mystery title -- and creative team -- yet to be announced.

    Well this is something..

    QuoteIt's been interesting. Part of it has been going back to the source material and watching then rewatching the original films. There's even been dipping into the fan analysis of the films that's on the internet. Dark Horse got their hands on some production bible stuff from the studio, and we got to see a little bit of that. But primarily, it's the same kind of intellectual exercise that many of us did as kids when we engaged with these stories as fans. There's a function that fan fiction serves where it finds the gaps in the canonical narrative. Where are things not covered? Where are there interesting places where more story could be happening? It's much the same thing with the overall story of what we're doing, which is called "Fire and Stone." We're looking at how the world works and then figuring out what extra stuff could be going on within that idea.

    That's... definitely something.. unusual and interesting.  :-\

    Thematically means to him that unless the Predator suddenly has some depth it will never fit.
    I hear where he's coming from but I feel that if you twist the Predator's arm so to speak it could work.

    Indeed but that particular member just feels like Predators don't belong thematically in the Alien universe.
    If they have to exist it should be in a minimal status apparently.

    Speaking of things we hope we'll see in the new series, I would love if they rescue expedition in the Prometheus comic had a synthetic like David. It would be nice if he could read the Engineer hieroglyphs, and the human characters actually bother to ask him to translate some of them.  :P That would be a great way to answer some fan questions.

    A Predator with blacked-over eyes, foaming at the mouth, and maybe even going full-on concept art Fifield would be spectacular.

    Another plot device I hope gets explored is that of LV-223 as a Chernobyl-esque bio-hazard gone out of control. I like the idea that LV-223 was pretty well contained until the crew of the Prometheus showed up. Maybe there were even alarms they triggered that cause more Engineers to rush to the planet as this series goes on to try and out the spill back in its box.
