We've seen the sheriff in some footage.

Does anyone know whether the characters in the comic will appear in the game?  A:CM's prequel comic had Doc and O'Neal but only one of them ever ended up in the actual game itself, I assume the other one probably got killed.

Spoiler

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.

We can order the goodie bag?

Perhaps the alien in the comic Is the first alien, and the alien in the game is from the guy face hugged.

So looks like there is someone facehugged on board... I kind of read it as that person's nightmares

Very good comic. Loved the artwork and as mentioned, does some nice setup without spoiling much. The nightmare segment was really cool.

That was quite awesome. LOVE the art style, works really well for the ALIEN atmosphere.

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.

Funny, the creature in the comic looks better and more accurate then in the game.
