THE EXPANSE: A LITTLE DEATH is the second new story set after the show’s explosive final season, and will be guided by writer Andy Diggle, The Expanse actor and co-writer Wes Chatham, and artist Francesco Pisa.

The press release follows:

Media Release -- The immersive universe of THE EXPANSE has captured the imaginations of science fiction fans around the globe for over a decade – first in the Hugo and Dragon Award winning novel series and then in a critically acclaimed, Hugo and Saturn Award winning television series (streaming on Amazon Prime) – instantly entering the highest echelon of genre-defining sci-fi. Under the direct supervision and creative guidance of THE EXPANSE creator James S.A. Corey, superstar writer Andy Diggle (The Losers, Green Arrow: Year One) and The Expanse actor and co-writer Wes Chatham (Amos Burton, The Expanse) along with artist Francesco Pisa (The Expanse: Dragon Tooth), THE EXPANSE: A LITTLE DEATH becomes the second new story set after the explosive final season of the show.



Following the fallout of The Expanse: Dragon Tooth, The Rocinante crew is plunged into a deadly conspiracy when an old friend of Amos Burton’s reaches out from the shadows of a new world. He’s still playing by Baltimore rules—and when you have a whole planet to play for, a little death goes a long way…
