I love the visual story-telling. That last page is so cool. I like how Ahab is searching for the Engineers, it's a neat parallel to the human characters from Prometheus.

Huh.. So the Engineers created/intervened with the Shokan type creatures.. Hmmm..

[Kimarhi]

is the predator going to be able to get stellar coordinates off of a cave painting as well?

I doubt it, given the fact that he finds the mural more than a century before he goes to LV-223.

I don't think that's how he got the coordinates. That's probably how he started to develop an interest in the Engineers as prey. He hunts on multiple planets with intelligent life, and on all/most of these planets, he finds evidence of the Engineers.  That's how an Engineer becomes his elusive White Whale.

If Ahab is part of the hunting party at the beginning of AvP #1, it would appear that his presence in the LV-223 area is incidental.

The Dark Horse website has a 6-page preview of Prometheus #3. As usual, if you want to go in blind, don't look.

For anyone interested in whether or not the Deacon will be making an appearance in Fire and Stone, you might want to check out artist Patric Reynold's Twitter. Beware of spoilers, and keep in mind that it is unclear as to whether or not this is from the current version of Fire and Stone, or the one from before the Fox-mandated rewrite. Either way, it's pretty neat.

UPDATE: If you look at the full conversation on the tweet (I'm having trouble getting the link to just his response), he confirms that it is from BOTH versions of Fire and Stone!

"from both, actually!  I HIDE NOTHING."

Great! Finally we can see it.

BTW, I have a question: Are Engineers wearing their spacesuits in any of these comics?

[Ultramorph]

So far we've seen one Engineer in its chair suit, but not with the helmet on.

I'm quite excited to see some Deacons!

I wanna believe but I have a feeling the deacons were pre-rewrite. Man...I wish they would somehow release the pre-rewrite work in the future. Maybe as part of a collector's edition of Fire & Stone

[Ultramorph]

It would definitely be cool if we eventually got to see some of the original stuff, but I doubt that will happen until after Prometheus 2 comes and goes, if ever.

As far as the Deacon, I'm reasonably sure we'll see it in Fire and Stone. Aside from Reynolds' Twitter today, the Prometheus #4 cover still features pointy-headed creatures that might well Deacons.

[Ultramorph]

If anyone wants to know a bit more about where the thing from the end of Aliens #2 is going, Patric Reynolds posted a picture on his Tumblr that shows a bit. Beware of spoilers.

Spoiler

It looks like an interesting cross between Fifiled and Elden. I'm looking forward to the final two issues.

[Ultramorph]

If anyone want to see it, Patric Reynolds finished Aliens today, and he posted what appear to be some of the final pages of Aliens: Fire and Stone. It looks like good stuff. Beware of spoilers.

Also, I was looking at the solicitations for January again, and I noticed something about...

Spoiler

Elden's "final form." It looks a lot like the mural from Prometheus. The plot thickens?

CBR has a new preview of AvP #3. Beware of spoilers.

Elden is looking more and more interesting, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the accelerated Predator has in store.

Interesting...very interesting.

Spoiler

Predator walks away from Francis as I've been hoping...possible team-up with Elden? Mutated Predator as ultimate enemy?

That would be pretty cool.

Spoiler

The AvP #4 cover certainly leaves it open to interpretation just what the relationship is between Elden and the Predator.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what the endgame is in Omega. I imagine that it will be Ahab and company stopping Elden from black gooing Earth.
