Preview of Dark Horses Aliens: Fire and Stone Issue 1!

So it comes as no surprise that news that Dark Horse Comics was bringing back the franchise and adding the Engineers from 2012's controversial Alien prequel Prometheus has of course excited many fans of the franchise, especially after the lacklustre movie adaptations directed by Paul W S Anderson and the Brothers Strause. The new story entitled Fire and Stone wil span across all of Dark Horse Comics comic lines in the franchise, including their new Prometheus comic line, as well as within their much loved Aliens, Predator and Aliens versus Predator lines.
