I remember about a year ago when I pitched the idea of essentially an Alien series to 21st Century Fox and they basically couldn't do it. Now it looks like some like-minded individuals have had a similar idea with this new Alien: Covenant The Unofficial Animated Series. The series will run at the first of the month for this and the succeeding four months, and will expand on and illustrate theories about Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, specifically, that have been put forth on the Alien: Covenant website's forums. Personally, I think this is a great idea, as it allows someone who doesn't have the time to read the forums, like me, access to these theories. I look forward to watching this series and to maybe referencing some of these theories in my own Alien work. Here is episode 1:

It basically states that the Deacon (the creature that emerges from the dead Engineer at the end of Prometheus) will go up into the head statue inside the Engineer ship and turn into the Xenomorph creature that we all know and love (or dread). This sets the stage for Alien: Covenant, where we see a creature like that attacking the ship of the main characters. I think its an interesting theory, and man is this episode scary! I'm almost afraid to think what the other ones will be like. Once again, this is a great idea that I'm looking forward to watching.
