Oh look, it's Scar

I'll laugh if his design makes it into the comic. But I highly doubt it.

Are they releasing this story in Reading order this time? lol

Randy did actually say that the reading order will be crystal clear this time around.

That's great because it was such a pain to have to read everything concurrently.  Everything was one big spoiler...

[Ultramorph]

Yeah, they seem to have learned from that, hence why they're only releasing one series at a time. The event will take  a lot longer to play out that way, but it will make it read 1000% better.

I still can't understand why they put the series in the order they did in the F&S collected edition. Casual readers must have been so confused.

That said...that Prometheus #1 closer was damn nice.

I haven't bought the collected edition yet.  How did they order it?  I'm afraid to ask...

[Ultramorph]

The release order, with Aliens coming after Prometheus. Even more bizarrely, they put the Dark Horse Presents Aliens short after A:F&S and re-titled it "Aliens: Epilogue". The rest of the edition was fine, though. I can see them wanting to open with Prometheus, but the chronological jumping around is a bit unnecessary in a collected edition.

[Corporal Hicks]

Yeah, they should have just had Aliens first. There'd have been no problem with that. It was a nice touch having that DHP short in though. I really appreciated that.

Does anyone know if the DHP short is in the collected edition?  if no one knows I'll find out myself when I get home from work

[Whiskeybrewer]

where does the short they've called Alien : Epilogue fit in the timeline of F&S?

I don't. Be sure to let us know!

Well it's just before the medlab stuff in Aliens. So...somewhere in the middle of Aliens F&S? I can't remember the specific dates without looking at the comic.

I remember hearing it wasn't, only the big complete collection, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

[426Buddy]

i'll let you guys know, i'll be bummed if its not included.


Edit- okay this thing is frikkin huge! I don't think the dhp short is included but I'll have to really give it a good look to be certain.

When you say collected do you mean the big fatass hardback or the individual tbps?
