Batman contra Aliens

Batman/Aliens #1-2

by Ron Marz, Ian Edginton

Desde lo profundo de una selva amazónica llega una de las peores amenazas a las que se enfrentará el Caballero Oscuro. Cuando Batman se encuentra en una misión de rescate de un empleado de Empresas Wayne, poco se imagina que acabará encontrándose con una forma de vida alienígena cuyo único objetivo es matar a todo ser vivo. Ron Marz, apoyado por los terroríficos dibujos de Bernie Wrightson, presenta una historia en la que Batman se enfrenta a los Aliens con la misma angustia que despertó entre el público la película original. Además, este volumen incluye la segunda miniserie en la que los Aliens atacan directamente la ciudad de Gotham.
Este volumen continúa la línea establecida con Batman vs Depredador y Superman vs Depredador, que sigue este mes con Superman vs Aliens y culminará el mes que viene con el enfrentamiento definitivo entre todos.

Vote: 3,5

First part with late Bernie Wrightson's artworks is far better than second one.

[Caleb Stratos · Rating 4 out of 5]

I give it a 3.75

It was a fun read as a batman read and an alien read.
The twist at the end was a surprise, but then again, was it?

My only complaint is, where did batman get that sword and spear in the final fight? Bit random i thought.
My last complaint is the very end, I felt for batman the way he "desposed" the facehugger was veeerrrryyyy careless.

Muy irregular. Algunas historias funcionan mejor que otras, pero ninguna es realmente memorable.

NOT LIKE WHAT I EXPECTED

[Bernardo · Rating 3 out of 5]

First one has a nice story, the second starts nicely but the last part is just too shallow

"Batman / Aliens" is not at all a bad comic... But it isn't that great either. The premise is crazy and interesting, and the drawing ranges from great (in the first book) to just decent (in the second one). Marz story is full of topics, but it's well deployed; Edgington, on the other hand, relies on more interesting ideas, but the development of them is not as good, and it's very predictable. Overall, it's not at all bad, quite the contrary (whatever you might expect from the initial idea), but it has some potential that could have been put to a better use. So, a plain and simple "okay, it enterntained me for a while, but I doubt I'll remember more than a couple of magnificent pages from it".
