Some more potential continuity issues - Weyland sent a probe to LV-223 in 2090 - the year following the submission from Shaw and Holloway, yet the planet is over 2 years travel from Earth at that time (maybe it was sent from somewhere closer).  And speaking of 2 years travel - Zeta 2 Reticuli is 3 weeks from Earth in 2179.  In 2219 they've been asleep 2 years to get there?

The whole tone of the piece owes more to Prometheus where space travel seems to be novel, than the greater story where space travel is commonplace.

Such shoddy errors really when you think how many hundreds of hours they must have spent in research and planning this out in the writing room. Even with the Fox mandate to start over, things like this should have been rectified.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt till the story plays out.

I guessed Onager was the name of the ship and it was going to pop up in another series - but that confirms it.

You guys might want to read the AVP preview again. Lots of spoilers in it.

Most definitely spoilerific, though I'm not sure the last one is the same two characters, as I doubt they would spoil that character's fate.

Anyone looking for more spoilers need only read the last few sets of DH's solicitations. They're up to Prometheus and Alien #4 and Predator and AvP #3, and there's some stuff in there that indicates the direction things will go.

All this really makes me question the wisdom of releasing the comics in the order they are. AvP #1 comes out before Prometheus #2, and is sure to spoil at least some of what happens in that series.

Wow, I didn't even know about the solicitations. So many spoilers...

That is most definitely going to be an interesting issue. I like the art, but I do hope it doesn't wind up being just a stupid thing that happens.

So this whole project is one issue in, right? Never really been into A/P comics, so I haven't been following it. Was the first issue any good? Most of the art seems pretty nice (even the strange as hell things like that thing in the spoiler tag). And what's "Omega?"

Here's all the solicitations (minus taglines):

Spoiler


Aliens: Fire and Stone #1 (of 4)

During a vicious xenomorph outbreak, terraforming engineer Derrick Russell leads a desperate group of survivors onto a rickety mining vessel. They hope to escape the creatures overrunning their colony -- but they'll face horrors both in space and on the strange planet they crash on. Ties in with the Prometheus and Aliens films!



Prometheus: Fire and Stone #2 (of 4)

After landing on LV-223, a recovery crew uncovers the fate of the Prometheus's doomed mission—and a horror unlike anything known to man!



Predator: Fire and Stone #1 (of 4)

As the Perses begins her long journey home, a deadly stowaway forces the crew into a savage conflict! While the crew defend themselves against this unseen predator, the hunter itself stalks a much more substantial game!



Alien vs. Predator: Fire and Stone #1 (of 4)

As the mercenary crew of the Perses leave the horror of LV-223 behind them, one passenger reveals a terrible new danger, and the crew soon find themselves in a deadly struggle between predator and prey!



Aliens: Fire and Stone #2 (of 4)

After crashing their clunky mining ship on a strange planet, a group of human survivors face both xenomorph attacks and friction among themselves—which could spell doom for everyone! The stranded and desperate group has a single chance: one of their scientists, who seeks the key to their freedom.



Prometheus: Fire and Stone #3 (of 4)

Chaos breaks loose when a member of the Prometheus's recovery team is exposed to the dangerous and mysterious genetic accelerant! Now, with the crew divided and hope for survival fleeting, a terrifying discovery offers a glimpse into the fate of the Prometheus . . . and the colony on LV-426!



Predator: Fire and Stone #2 (of 4)

After the mayhem and terror of Weyland-Yutani's disastrous mission to the site of the Prometheus, Galgo's troubles continue when his ship is shanghaied by a Predator stowaway! Its obsession with a mysterious, deadly quarry sends them to the last place in the universe Galgo'd like to revisit—the Xeno-infested LV-223!



Alien vs. Predator: Fire and Stone #2 (of 4)

A terminally ill scientist's desperate experiment yields deadly results, and offers the Predators a chance to hunt an invincible new game!



Aliens: Fire and Stone #3 (of 4)

With their numbers dwindling and hopes for rescue fading, the desperate survivors on the strange planet known as LV-223 fight among themselves. A lone scientist may hold the key to their freedom, though—if everyone can live long enough to hear him out! Ties in with the Prometheus and Aliens films!



Prometheus: Fire and Stone #4 (of 4)

Casualties rise as the Prometheus's recovery team find themselves trapped between an unrelenting alien horde, a ruthless Engineer, and a vengeful victim of the mysterious accelerant!



Predator: Fire and Stone #3 (of 4)

Back among the crewmates he betrayed in Prometheus, Galgo must watch over both shoulders, as his former allies want him to pay, and the Predator that holds him captive wants something far more terrible!



Alien vs. Predator: Fire and Stone #3 (of 4)

When a Predator is exposed to a mysterious genetic accelerant, the rest of the hunting party is put in unforeseen peril. And as the android Elden continues his violent evolution, his xenomorph allies reject him from the hive.



Aliens: Fire and Stone #4 (of 4)

Tying in with the Prometheus and Aliens films, this tale of stranded survivors and the tenacious xenomorphs that stalk them comes to a close! Scientist Derrick Russell makes more stunning discoveries about the strange planet the Hadley's Hope refugees crashed on, while Aliens close in on him!

Reminds me of something one would expect to see in a PREDATOR/THE THING crossover.

It's essentially a super predator hopped up on black goo a la Fitfield...wondering if it's going to be beating xenomorphs to death with its fists or snapping their necks...some crazy shit.

Most of the predator stuff seems kinda hashed in just from reading those little spolierific descriptions. It does peak my curiosity. so ill inevitably buy/find them all online
