Does that one-shot not get its own title, like Omega did?

Does that one-shot not get its own title, like Omega did?

I was wondering that. I assumed it was going to be called Omega like Fire and Stones Epilogue

Pretty sweet cover for Dead Orbit and Prometheus L&D.

It's too bad that the engineers  in L&D have been featured more on the covers than in the actual stories. Once again they are underutilized just like in F&S and  seem to serve no purpose other than to be a vague threat.

I'm hoping Life and Dead ends with

Spoiler

Foster and company getting my control of the ship and going to Paradise, and that there's a sequel tying into Covenant.

Great cover art on both

[Russ840]

I thought so.

I am really am looking forward to Dead Orbit

[happypred]

Hope it's relevant to the story

Love me some feral predators a la Predator Captive

[Corporal Hicks]

These look great. Really looking forward to seeing where both go.

Godzilla: The Half-Century War was SO good, both from an art and story perspective. The fact that Stokoe did both has me SO psyched for Dead Orbit.

I bought that when I found out about this title. Did my research. In total agreement dude. It was great.

I'm confident we will get a read Aliens Comic from him.

Half Century War was great! I loved how it bridged all the different eras together.

Hoping Dead Orbit is great.
