Live and Let Die

 is the first short story of the Attack on Titan Anthology. It is written and illustrated by Michael Avon Oeming, colored by Michael Avon Oeming and Taki Soma, and lettered by Steven Wands.

Summary
In an expedition beyond the walls, the Survey Corps retreats from a horde of Titans as the rainfall begins to obscure their vision. Hange Zoë suggests it will pass, but Commander Erwin Smith chooses to scrap the mission. He orders a flare to be fired, but Hange spots a black flare fired from Taki's squad.

Nearby, Taki and her squad begin to battle against a group of Abnormal Titans. One soldier, Walker, is shocked to see that the Titans are seemingly herding them against the nearby cliffs. Taki begins a counterattack, killing a Titan, but Walker strays from the group and it bitten in half by an Abnormal with transparent flesh. Taki attempts to kill the Abnormal, but a strike of lightning sends her flying away from the battle.

Crashing to the ground below, Taki lays motionless against a tree branch. A stranger in tattered clothes arrives, asking nonchalantly if Taki is dead.
