"We’re stunned and grateful that Robert Kirkman let us tell this particular story, which is firmly set in the continuity of his and Charlie Adlard’s beloved series. The Alien sheds light on a corner of their undead universe we never dreamed they’d let us reveal..." -- Brian K. Vaughan

There's an Eat, Pray, Love-ish element to this kind of story that's a bit iffy to me... I guess BKV tries to reverse that narrative a bit with the ending.
