Dark Horse Comic review: Fire and Stone

So Dark Horse released a new series of AVP comics to incorporate Prometheus into the lore of the Universe. What we get is a fairly mix to good bag. There 5 books in total.Aliens, Prometheus, AVP, Predator and Prometheus in that order.

Aliens: Fire and Stone takes place on LV426 and some the colonists escape on a ship *cough River of Pain* in a cargo skiff and up on LV233. Along with this cluster fuck mistake the skiff has some xeno stowaways. LV233 has changed vastly since the events of Prometheus now a lush jungle with weird creatures thanks to the tampering with the the black goo. The last Survivor is confronted with certain death at the hands of xenomorphs ponders using the black goo to survive. This first book while has issues with it is a good tale and asks the reader to ponder is it better to become as savage as the xenomorph in order to survive. That seems to be the overall theme of these collection of books.
