Dark Horse‘s upcoming crossover event, Fire And Stone, has expanded to include two new titles arriving in October – Predator and Alien Vs Predator!
AVP writer Christopher Sebela: “Dark Horse had the idea of doing more Aliens and Predators stories, only this time they wanted to do it as a writer’s room format, where writers, artists and editors all get together and build a story. As far as what the catalyst was for Dark Horse wanting to do this? Probably between the Prometheus movie coming out a couple years ago and the fact that Xenomorphs and Predators are cool as heck, it seems like a pretty easy trigger to pull. There will be some aliens and they most definitely will still be versus Predators, so that much we are staying faithful to, but across all four of the books, we set out to make stories that stood on their own and built an entirely new path in this mythology.”
Predator writer Joshua Williamson: “It started with Mike Richardson and Dark Horse. On my end, we had been talking about doing an Alien book for a few years, something closer to the first classic Alien film. So they knew I was already interested in this universe. After Prometheus came out, they knew that fans wanted more. The idea of doing a crossover with Alien was too good to miss, and Dark Horse, who is known for doing this kind of thing, wasn’t going to do a half measure – and tossed AVP and Predator in there.”
