Il volume celebrativo dei trent'anni dell'Aliens Universe a fumetti della Dark Horse è semplicemente un capolavoro. Nevertheless, the final chapters reign it all in and present an excellent conclusion! The philosophical take on humanity and the characterization of Hicks and Newt were spot on! Mark Verheiden did a great job developing those two characters.
There were too many plot points and characters, running around all over the place. The writing was wonderful at the beginning, but it got too complex and confused in the middle chapters. The pencils by Mark Nelson is dark, gripping and very fitting. Xenomorphs as gods? Seriously, what was the writer trying pull? People are not that stu.Īnd Xenomorphs on Earth for the first time! How cool is that?!
It explores Xenomorph's history and biology, other alien life forms and features evil corporations, psychopath killers, overzealous scientists who love Xenomorphs and crazy fanatics who worship Xenomorphs as gods. Thankfully, this little hiccup didn't dampen the story presented here!Ĭompared to Alien movies, the story here is very complex and layered. Seriously, the artist was not even allowed to use her face in flashback scenes! well, no one wants to talk about Ripley because the writer was not given permission to use her character. The other marines are so scared of him and his "alien cooties" and stay away from him. Our young survivor Newt is in a mental asylum and Hicks is an outcast marine because of the scars he got from the aliens. This dark and gritty story was originally published as a sequel to James Cameron's Aliens (1986), picking the story up ten years after the latest disaster on LV-426. Imagine a species where the first conscious act of life is killing.
