Aliens Predator Prometheus: Fire and Stone
I couldnt find a dedicated thread for this upcoming event from Dark Horse so I figured I'd start one.
There actually was a SDCC panel which seems to have flown completely under the radar for most major websites, but I was able to find this report which elaborates a lot on what has been going on, the reasons for the delays, the creator's plans and so on.

Its quite a bit of info, but I found this of particular interest:
[QUOTE]Roberson made mention that the key directive was to “start from the films and go from there”, and the only films that team really concentrated on were: Prometheus, Alien, Aliens, and Predator. Sebela, when asked, said that the two Aliens vs. Predator films were not canon to his series.[/QUOTE]
Now thats the way to go for this particular franchise in my opinion.
I have enjoyed books from some of the creators involved in the past, and others I haven't had the chance to read yet; and I have to say that Im quite excited about reading this, unlike that [I]other[/I] cinematic franchise that got most of the press.
