Aliens Comics Appreciation Thread 2019

[The Ozman]

Anyone else a fan of these comics on here?

I've been a fan since the start, and have most Aliens & AvP books in either trades or issues. The last five years has been a truly great time to be an Aliens fan though, with Dark Horse really stepping up their releases compared to previous years, and creating an interesting story that has run through several titles, as well as some cracking minis and some fresh collected editions like the 30th Anniversary and Essentials collections. The quality of the recent books has been very high, with the only minor complaint being a few delayed issues (Dust to Dust, I'm looking at you).

• Fire & Stone Crossover (2014-2015)
• Aliens: Defiance (2016-2017)
• Life and Death Crossover (2016-2017)
• Aliens: Dead Orbit (2018)
• Aliens: Dust to Dust (2018-2019)
• William Gibson's Alien 3 (2018-2019)
• Aliens: Resistance (2019)
• Aliens: Rescue (coming in July 2019)
• Aliens: Colonial Marines - Rising Threat (coming in September 2019)

Not only have the stories been interesting, but there has been some spectacular art on show, and some instant classic covers. Some of these are so good I'm thinking about getting them framed.

So yeah, talk about Aliens comics old and new here, if you're into that kind of thing.

Could only fit 3 images in a post, so just wanted to continue by saying I love the minimalist covers for William Gibson's Alien 3. Issue #1 is a thing of beauty.

I have a good chunk of them.

Since Disney now owns them, I don't get Aliens, Predator, or Prometheus anymore.

Why? I mean, I get if you have an issue with Disney, but they don't own Dark Horse. DH just use the characters under licence like they've always done.

The same as I won't see a Disney Marvel movie. Disney doesn't have to own everything. They only use 25% if what they did not create.

Fair enough, I won't argue personal choice. Would say you're missing out on some great books though.
