Prometheus: Fire and Stone #1
Written by Paul Tobin
Art by Juan Ferreyra
Letters by Nate Piekos
Covers by David Palumbo
Dark Horse Comics
Release Date: September 10, 2014
Cover Price: $3.50

Prometheus: Fire and Stone #1 is hobbled early on by the vastness in that where there is nothing to do, there is nothing to read about.

  |  @   |  

When the Prometheus never returned from her fateful journey to LV-223, the questions surrounding the origins of man went unanswered. Now, a new team of explorers seeks to uncover the dark mystery that holds not only the fate of the original mission, but possibly their own damnation.

From the Eisner Award–nominated team of Paul Tobin and artist Juan Ferreyra (Colder), Prometheus: Fire And Stone #1 is the first issue in a blockbuster crossover event that ties directly into Ridley Scott’s 2012 film, Prometheus, as well as the Alien and Predator franchises.

Thanks to the fine folks at Dark Horse, we’re giving you a glimpse inside the first issue, as well as a trailer for the trailer, both of which you can view here below. Prometheus: Fire And Stone #1 is on sale September 10, 2014 and is available for pre-order now.
