The countdown is formally on for the following piece of The Expanse TV collection canon, with megastar Wes Chatham returning for a brand new journey for Amos Burton in The Expanse: A Little Dying. And with the newest follow-up comedian as soon as once more smashing its Kickstarter purpose in mins, the co-writer is getting enthusiasts much more excited, promising to do justice to the display’s hero in some way audience by no means were given the danger to peer.
Longtime DC/Vertigo publisher Andy Diggle joined The Expanse co-creator Ty Franck on his and Chatham’s Ty & That Guy podcast to speak about the mission, with the franchise author jokingly reassuring enthusiasts that “the entire weaknesses in Wes’s writing can be paved over through Andy.” With the former Dragon Enamel comedian collection underneath his belt, Diggle defined that whilst Chatham turns out the obvious particular person to steer Amos Burton via a brand new journey, this gritty new mystery is as a long way from Expanse fan provider as you’ll get:
“‘A Little Dying’ is an Amos tale. Fairly than having everyone in the whole thing at all times, what if we center of attention on Amos? The truth that Wes is at the back of the tale and occurs to play Amos, it is completely coincidental that he is the principle personality within the tale… I will thankfully take the credit score for it when it comes out, until the top product sucks [Laughs]. Wherein case it is your entire fault.”

Diggle introduced one of the most maximum particular information about the approaching tale to this point in his look, positive to snatch fan passion. The respectable synopsis alludes to a brand new internet of secrecy which draws Amos Burton into previous drama, however Diggle issues to an impressive movie as reference for the type of mystery that is born from letting Amos “pass complete Amos”:
“‘Guy on Hearth’ is one thing you stay coming again to, I have spotted. With regards to the tone and the vibe. That is what I am in reality responding to: a type of darkish, noir, hardcore, crime mystery.
“Some of the issues I in reality like about The Expanse is you play with genres… the display is extra tonally even, however within the novels there is a little bit of, ‘that is noir, after which that is more or less a western on Ilus, and that is house horror.’ You’ll mess around with the other subgenres, and I feel there may be room to do this within the comics, too. So it isn’t precisely a revenge mystery, but it surely has that more or less vibe to it. A noir revenge mystery. And simply letting Amos pass ‘complete Amos.’ I describe it as ‘Churn Mode.’ However it needs to be about one thing.”
Those insights promise large issues for Amos enthusiasts, particularly with “The Churn” regarding The Expanse novella targeted on Amos’ origins on Earth. Whilst the novella is about previous to his time aboard The Rocinante, the tale was once tailored via flashbacks within the episode “Churn” from Season 5 of the TV collection.

There may be little query that enthusiasts of Tony Scott and Denzel Washington’s gritty mystery can be extremely joyful to listen to that anything else is taking inspiration from Guy on Hearth (2004), for the reason that brutal, pull-no-punches, man-on-a-mission story has ‘vibes’ to spare. And whilst that may look like a difficult fit for The Expanse TV collection upon which the brand new comics are based totally, that turns out completely the purpose. The character of The Expanse novels makes it unimaginable to position the focal point on one personality, and denying enthusiasts of an unbroken, “complete Amos” mystery can be downright merciless.
Diggle and Chatham each level to this truth as a power of the novellas, and this new synergy between the Expanse books, TV collection, and comics is good to look at being shaped. The former Expanse: Dragon Enamel collection already helped to flesh out the time frame lacking between the novels, so it best turns out proper that the comics will have to subsequent take inspiration from the novellas, giving Amos Burton a focus he’s hardly ever ever afforded.
