    The facehugged guy in the comic is the host of the titular Alien, he mentions being affiliated with a character who is mentioned in some gameplay videos as being the guy who (inadvertently) brought the Alien to Sevastopol.

    Also in his nightmares, you can see what seems to be the partial silhouette of the LV-426 Derelict obscured in some dust, my prediction is that they went back there, got an egg, dude got facehugged, they put him on ice and brought him to Sevastopol thinking they could save him somehow, and then he gave birth to the Alien and all hell breaks loose.

    That sounds pretty plausible. I wonder if

    River of Pain will tie into Isolation by having what happens on Sevastopol be the catalyst for W-Y's renewed interest in LV-426.

    Re-reading the SDCC comic after watching a lot of gameplay footage and stuff, there's some details that are starting to fall into place, and other little details that I think are cleverly-hidden spoilers.

    This is largely speculation, but I'm going to spoiler-tag it anyway.

    Just got around to reading this, and I thought it was a pretty cool teaser for Isolation. I'm looking forward to seeing how the story plays out, and how the Anesidora angle unfolds. From the looks of the Derelict lookalike, I think we might be revisiting LV-426 again, even if just in terms of flashbacks.

    Well it's people on ebay who went to SDCC, selling the goodie bag, comic book, etc. It's not like you're buying direct from FOX/Sega/Dark Horse/whatever.

    I happened to bid on an auction that had both the bag and the comic, and won for about $10 shipped. There's a bunch of other comparable auctions for similar prices, too. Just do a search for "SDCC Isolation" or something similar and it'll bring up a bunch of stuff.

    Prices on the comic have plummeted on ebay if people are looking for personal copies - I just got the comic and the Alien: Isolation tote bag for $10 shipped, which is very reasonable in my book. I wish I could have gotten the Sevastopol patch as well, but I don't mind getting that separately.

    Nice comic.  It touched on all the important themes we expect from a tie in without tipping too far into spoiler territory.

    Now, will this be reprinted at some point so those of us that didn't go to SDCC can acquire a copy of it without resorting to Ebay? 

    100% with Locusta, here.  Ye olde Bigge Chap looks better in the comic than in the game screenshots we have seen so far.

    I guess it could go either way. But the thing that tips me off is how Chuck's dialogue of reaching the elevator to intercept the civilian interjects with the scene of the guy lying in a bed facehugged, as if it's happening at the present time.

    Yeah, I think it might have worked better if the stories were in "chronological" order, although breaking up the Decent Man's story was pretty effective so I kinda understand why it got put in the middle.
