After Alien: Covenant’s release we had the opportunity to speak to Alien: Covenant illustrators Dane Hallett and Matt Hatton. During our chat we talked about their desire to write a David’s Diary, so to speak.

Fast-forward to nearly a year later and that book has been announced! Matt Hatton confirmed the book’s existence on his Instagram page earlier today.

“We’re pretty excited to announce that yes finally there will be a book of David’s studies that Dane and I did for Alien: Covenant. Coming from Titan Publishing. It will be launched and we’ll be doing a signing at SDCC this year! Haven’t seen anything of the book yet but hopefully it will be something cool for all those fans (thank you) that asked for it!”
