The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of PROMETHEUS:
LIFE AND DEATH #1 from Dark Horse Comics. The story is by Dan Abnett, with art
by Andrea Mutti, colors by Rain Beredo, and lettering by Michael Heisler.
Captain Paget and what’s left of her platoon of Colonial
Marines are leaving LV-797 after investigating of possible claim jumping of the
planet from a competitor to the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. While the marines
suffered heavy losses, the possible gain is the spaceship they found. Paget
grows concerned due to the lack of ship communications and her marines that are
onboard. What she doesn’t know is that an Engineer has awakened, and is not
interested in going to Ganymede Station.
Honestly, I didn’t realize that this is chapter five of a
seventeen part saga. This follows the recently concluded PREDATOR: LIFE AND
DEATH miniseries. But that shouldn't deter you as there is a previously
paragraph that gets you up to speed. I’m a big fan of Dan Abnett (who
also wrote the PREDATOR book), so I'm sure things will be moving at a fast pace with the next
issue. Mutti and Beredo did an awesome job with the art, I really like the look of the book. I’ll check out the rest of this series to see where
things go.
PROMETHEUS: LIFE AND DEATH #1 is in stores now, or
available for ordering at www.DarkHorse.com.
