No firm details but the guy who has been doing such a great job on the covers for The Strain, E. M. Gist, sent this image out on twitter...

I think it might have to do with this.

Gist has some really dark stuff. I love covers.

Read about this in Previews - I'd be interested in seeing what Roberson and Williamson do with this stuff, at least to a certain extent, but I wish it was strictly Aliens Vs. Predator without the Prometheus tie-in. Chris Mooneyham is awesome, very Jim Aparo influenced, at least on the Five Ghosts stuff he did. Gist is great too, I wish he did interior art.

I remember reading on a fan site that Dark Horse wants to explore the Prometheus universe as well and maybe tie that together with the Predator universe.

That cover art is fucking nice.

There's more coming, at least from the Prometheus wing.

Really digging the artwork shown in that clip. Stoked for this. The Fire And Stone runs have been way better than I expected.

Agreed, Fire and Stone has been a real surprise for me. Glad to hear this will continue in some form. Fire and Stone pretty much laid out the blueprint for how a crossover in this universe should be done, I'd actually love to see this made into a film.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Fox is considering it. All the studios want to copy Marvel and establish a big universe of movies.

Doubt it'll happen considering it's Fox though.
