The Expanse: A Little Death #1
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A thrilling return to the Belt and beyond—A Little Death is a knockout debut that delivers everything fans could want and more.
Wes Chatham, best known for his unforgettable portrayal of Amos Burton, now steps behind the scenes as co-writer, and the result is electric. Teaming up with seasoned Expanse scribe Andy Diggle and the ever-dynamic Francesco Pisa on art, this new chapter picks up the torch from Dragon Tooth and runs with it—straight into the heart of a gritty, noir-tinged conspiracy that feels both intimate and galactically high-stakes.
The story kicks off with a classic Expanse hook: a ghost from Amos’s past resurfaces, dragging the Rocinante crew into a tangled web of secrets, violence, and moral ambiguity. Chatham’s voice is unmistakable in the dialogue, lending authenticity and grit to Amos’s internal monologue and interactions.
Francesco Pisa’s artwork is a revelation. His linework is sharp and expressive, capturing both the claustrophobic tension of station corridors and the vast, cold beauty of space. The action sequences are kinetic and brutal, while quieter moments simmer with emotional resonance.
What makes A Little Death stand out is its seamless fusion of character-driven drama and political intrigue. It honors the legacy of The Expanse while boldly charting new territory. For longtime fans, this issue is a gift. For newcomers, it’s a compelling entry point.
Verdict: 5/5. A triumphant return to the world of The Expanse, with Chatham’s writing debut adding fresh emotional weight and Pisa’s visuals elevating every panel. If this is the beginning of a new arc, then sign me up for the whole ride.
Happy reading from the Void 🚀

Fantastic story!
Wes Chatham and Andy Diggle teaming up. This is truly a terrific story. A great way to keep The Expanse alive.
The line about the planet smelling like Baltimore where the sewers hit the water was hilarious.

More Expanse content is always a good thing!
Loving the art style here, loving that the story happens during the starving years and on Auberon of all places! And we finally get to see what happens to a character that kinda got forgotten in the books/tv show.
