We’ve seen some of the following before but brand new is the cover artwork for the upcoming Aliens – Fire and Stone series and the titled versions of the Alien vs. Predator and Prometheus covers:
Cover art for Dark Horse’s upcoming Aliens – Fire and Stone.
Dark Horse released the original artwork for this cover last week (and it’s probably my favourite of the 4 Fire and Stone so far). You can see the titled art for AvP and Prometheus over at Bleeding Cool. Thanks to Ultramorph for the news.

Also, just a comment on the Aliens blurb. Escaping from a xenomorph-infested planet only to then land on (what we can assume is) LV-223 must win an award for the worst day ever.
Also.. looking at the mural on the blood, I know you've made a lot of comparisons between the female protagonist and Amanda Ripley. Assuming the woman is Angela, this hopefully debunks the hypothesis of Amanda being in these comics although the resemblance is uncanny. I mean so far, none of the writers have ever mentioned Amanda explicitly.

Some choice quotes:
I assume then that it's Angela leaning over the egg, given that Roberson said none of his Aliens characters were on the mural. It also looks confirmed that Ahab will at least somewhat be on the side of the humans. As for "familiar landscape," that's probably just meant to be a reference to what Palumbo took inspiration from, but now that has me wondering if we'll be making a pit stop on LV-426 at some point.
Cool stuff!
Also, Dark Horse's September 2014 solicitations should be up sometime this week, so expect the official blurbs for the Prometheus and Aliens #1s.
It thinks "old" is an insult.
I don't think I'll be reading Out of the Shadows or any of the upcoming Alien novels. I just seem to have lost that patience to read many novels anymore.. I haven't even finished reading Nightmare Asylum and I started reading that book back in my junior year of high school, but I've put it off for ten years because I just lost interest in reading it. The funny thing is Perry is one of my favorite writers out there, and he keeps me entertained but for whatever reason.. I just don't like reading novels as much anymore.
Not at all. It has already been pretty divisive with "Out of the Shadows," and it's bound to be even more polarizing once Isolation comes out. The first Titan novel was good enough for me to be OK with it for now, assuming they pull it off in such a way that it feels needed to the stories, rather than just some quick cash grabbing off the Ripley name.
Is it just wrong to say that I could do without Amanda Ripley? Or the whole.. Ripley family legacy which is being done now?

You mean like you with your 40,000+ posts. No thanks old fart
No, no confirmation at all. I just meant that everyone should have seen it coming that I would make the comparison to the newest A:I pic.
Do you have confirmation?
I'm very much looking forward to that!
Also, because everyone knew it was coming...

Which should be in five days.. if Chris P remembers.
Whenever that happens, the gods over at Dark Horse seem to sense that something is wrong and release some more info on "Fire and Stone."

I seem to have been mistaken. Ronnie does do colouring. Nice

Well I preffer to draw myself, and I know Ronnie Draws better than me.
He has drawn couple of my designs/works(pretty old ones), he liked them,so he draw them in his style

By the way-in celebration of rebirth of AvP comic books I made a redesign of Broken Tusk
Spoiler
His original design was in my opinion way too heavy-too much stuff on his armor-for example-whole alien head on chest-difficult to move-and more difficiult to fight- I wanted him to have some alien resemblence incorporated on the armor-so he has chestburster on kis chest,and a front portion of alien skull on his shoulder armor.
Also his mask-in old AvP all predators were having Anytime's mask-which sucks-I preffere them to be individuals-each has his own theme/diffrences/diffrent masks-so his mask had to be unique-and the scar thingie on the front of it-from original comic book-looked like some sticker-and I didnt wanted to have anything resembling the shit which was Andersons AvP-so he has some scars on the mask.
Prometheus #1 comes out September 10th, and Aliens #1 hits stores two weeks later on September 24th. Predator and AvP launch in October.
ps-my fanart of Ahab based on the cover
Spoiler
There's also Phoenix Comic Con this weekend, where Chris Roberson will be tabling for Aliens. I'll keep my eyes open to see what they're giving away as the "free print."
And there's also Corporal Hicks' interview with James Moore, not that that directly relates to the comics, but it's there to whet our appetites!
Dude, you got thirteen days left until they answer the fan Q&A. I'm sure you can wait that long.
Tell us a bit more about Ahab, the Engineers, what role the aliens play, Galgo's super-duper laz0r gun...anything
They're likely keeping the Yautja concept, hence why they're keeping "essential elements". Or simply writing them as just "Predators" and it's NECA passing off hints of the Yautja concept in the biography. Time will tell come June 18th..
Tribes? I prefer the term clan.
In the case of Newsarama, they sort of "suggested" that the comics would be set in the same universe as the old ones. I don't buy that bit one bit, especially considering how the writing team has consistently said this was going to be a fresh take. If anything, they'll keeping essential elements which were established from the old comics, nothing else.
Of course.. I'm awaiting to hear from the writing team on Chris P's site.. I'm really hoping that Newsarama site was wrong about that.
As for the site saying which we would have a Free Comic Book Day preview, that was Comicvine.. So, all these Geek Sites out there you really have to watch out with what they're saying.
I don't think so. Just another case of poor or intentionally misleading wording. The same kind of thing on a CBR or Newsrama
article a few weeks back briefly had some of us thinking that "Fire and Stone" would have a Free Comic Book Day component.
More than likely it will be a poster of one of the covers or Palumbo's ECCC mural.
Does this mean...Aliens #1 will be available to those who attend Roberson's presentation?
I'll try and find a livestream like I did for ECCC. Hopefully one of those free prints finds its way onto Ebay or something.
I'm definitely going to check them out at SDCC, I'll try to get one.
It's the SDCC exclusive Ahab figure. Only 5,000 will be made or something along those lines, but it will only cost $30, apparently:

Oh boy can't wait
Agreed.
Also, NECA is showing us their SDCC exclusive Predator tomorrow. This will most likely be the Ahab figure.

Vikingspawn tipped me off on this magazine just out about the new comic series.
http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/05/28/bleeding-cool-magazines-sci-fi-spectacular-in-stores-today/
Yeah that does look a bit off.
Cleaned it up and added Ahab. I'm pretty pleased with it.
So many quarters were spent on that game.. So much fun on emulator too!
