The Expanse fans rejoice! BOOM! Studios has announced A Little Death, which picks up following the events of The Expanse: Dragon Tooth.
When The Expanse: Dragon Tooth debuted in 2023, the BOOM! Studios comic from creator James S.A. Corey was a big hit. It very much helped to fill a gaping void left by the beloved TV show. And now, the publisher has announced a follow-up comic, A Little Death, from Corey and TV studio Alcon Television Group. The project sees Wes Chatham (Amos Burton, The Expanse) make his comic book writing debut, joining forces with returning stars writer Andy Diggle (The Expanse: Dragon Tooth, The Losers) and artist Francesco Pisa (The Expanse: Dragon Tooth).
The Expanse: A Little Death is told over 4-issues. Considered canon to the TV series, readers can expect further sci-fi adventures and myriad connections to the TV series. If you’re wondering about where it fits into the timeline, BOOM! Studios has you covered:
Following the fallout of THE EXPANSE: DRAGON TOOTH, the Rocinante crew is plunged into a high stakes conspiracy when an old acquaintance of Amos Burton’s comes to him for aid. Set in the same 30 year period between Babylon’s Ashes (Book 6) and Persepolis Rising (Book 7) and after the conclusion of The Expanse Season 6, THE EXPANSE: A LITTLE DEATH continues the story, available in single issue or graphic novel format.
“It’s an absolute joy to be able to publish more stories in this world and have such an incredible creative team come together to expand the universe of The Expanse,” Deputy Publisher, Bryce Carlson, said in a statement. “Fans better buckle up and get ready.”
In its six seasons (the first three at SyFy, the subsequent three at Prime Vide0), The Expanse proved itself to be one of the finest space sci-fi shows on television. Visually spectacular, action-packed, with political themes — The Expanse was often seen as a space sci-fi alternative to Game of Thrones.
