2.5 stars. It's listed as #2 in the Fire and Stone series, but it actually comes before the Prometheus volume chronologically. It wasn't bad, but not a whole lot really happens and the people who land on LV-223 end up dying before you can really form any connection to them. Derrick is around a little longer, and is responsible for the writings + diary Francis and Elden find in the cave in the Prometheus volume, but? even his character seemed somewhat underdeveloped.

It felt a little bit pointless tbh, more like a very bare-boned setup for what comes later, but the art was nice and it was kind of interesting to see how the xenomorphs got onto LV-223. Definitely gonna continue with the Fire and Stone series, but only because I want to see how things play out for characters in the Prometheus volume : " )

I know that this is second volume of the Fire and Stone series but it's actually a prequel before Prometheus... which places this volume in an interesting timeline against the other two.

Not much of a story line due to the way it's been set up but again it's early on still so I'm reading this as a filler volume to get the ball rolling for the next two volumes.
