"We've done a lot of things to work [these franchises] together," Tobin says of the overall storyline, "and I think watching how they link … that's been an amazing thing for me to be a part of, and I think the readers will really respond to that."

The structure of Fire and Stone is such that each of the four series that make up the event — Prometheus: Fire and Stone, Aliens: Fire and Stone, AVP: Fire and Stone and Predator: Fire and Stone — are published on an eight-week cycle, with a new issue of one of the four series released every two weeks. All four series share concepts, characters and situations, with the storyline resolving in a special issue released after all four series have completed their run.

Prometheus: Fire and Stone No. 1 is released in comic book stores and digitally on Sept. 10, with Aliens: Fire and Stone released two weeks later.
