Hear me out. A ton of the comics in the franchise were ridiculously horrible and devoid of plot. But stay with me for five seconds. A lot of discussion on the boards has to do with the purpose that the Space Jockey's had behind creating the alien. Did anyone ever read the Alien: Avenging Angels comic? The plot (aside from actually being intelligent and different than all of the other comics) is incredibly similar. A deep-space rescue crew is paid by a religious/philosophical group to go find a missing crew of scientists/archaeologists who were lost researching something they found in Africa. What'd they find: evidence that the aliens had been on earth before. They got lost because they find ANOTHER "derelict" Jockey ship and discovered it had eggs too. This leads the leader of the archaeologist to lead his crew in a religious fervor to their sacrifice in order to create these "avenging angels." He calls them this because the evidence in Africa suggests that there was a whole other ecosystem before anything we know and that the alien was used to wipe them out and to terraform the planet. The aliens were designed to route any living thing so the Jockey's could come in and build house. Interesting huh? Then how about this. There was a script leaked for an alien prequel which contained a pair of lost characters who were captured or came into being stranded with living Jockeys on one of their inhabited worlds. The Jockeys use a smaller more insect like version of the alien as a terraforming tool. It isn't until one of these characters screws things up with those tiny eggs that a larger one is created which can attack and live out it's life cycle as through larger animals/people. (Aside from the forced gay sex in this script, it's a REALLY interesting plot.) ...

ive found the "alien harvester" plot ( that is NOT from Spaihts but is fan made ) terribly boring ..totally void of any kind of emotions or actions .... However there can be some links between that comic story and the actual story ... just a coincidence maybe .

Lot of very similar ideas floating around here actually that work quite well with that comic. Good find! Actually the limited confirmed facts we know (assuming Ridley isn't throwing us off purposely) work with the comic as well.

I would say Prometheus is inspired by Arthur C. Clarke's novels ....... 2001: Space Odyssey, Prelude to Space etc............
