The danger is mounting on Big Moon for the Rocinante crew!
The Rocinante crew are caught in a deadly plot, framed for a murder they didn’t commit—or did they? As tensions rise, the situation takes an explosive turn as one of their own takes a stand against the ruthless Barradan crime cartel.
One desperate act could change everything…but will it be enough to tip the balance, or seal their fate?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5 The Expanse: A Little Death #3 Andy Diggle, Wes Chatham, Francesco Pisa (Illustrator)
Another knockout issue in what remains one of the greatest space operas ever created. Bring me more.
Issue #3 tightens the noose around the Rocinante crew, and the creative team wastes zero time reminding us why The Expanse thrives in the comics medium. The tension on Big Moon is palpable—shadowy alliances, shifting loyalties, and a murder charge that may or may not be what it seems. Diggle and Chatham keep the pacing razor‑sharp, while Pisa’s art delivers that perfect blend of grit, scale, and cinematic punch.
What really elevates this chapter is the emotional pressure cooker inside the crew. As the Barradan crime cartel closes in, one desperate act from within the Roci threatens to flip the entire situation on its head. It’s bold, messy, human—exactly the kind of storytelling that made the original series legendary.
This issue doesn’t just move the plot forward; it deepens the stakes, sharpens the danger, and reminds us why returning to this universe feels like coming home to chaos in the best possible way. If this trajectory holds, A Little Death is shaping up to be essential reading for anyone who’s ever loved the Belt, the Roci, or the beautifully flawed people who call it home.
