I swear I enjoy the Aliens spin off fiction so much more than the movies.

It's great to he plunged back into the world is Zula and Amanda in this issue 1# comic. It has confirmed some theories I had about the role of the colonists and Weyland Yutani, it also makes me wonder what could happen in future movies if they decide to go down this path as well. I really enjoyed the views of Earth and bringing back some characters we were familiar with in Aliens: Defiance. The artwork is also on point and I felt like one of the panels paid a homage to The Terminator as well, also the use of the term Off World always reminds me of Blade Runner. This mix comic has turned out quite well and has me wanting more. I especially love the alternate cover by Tristan Jones. I have already pre-ordered a copy at my local comic book store.

“I dream of silence. The only sound is the blood rushing through my veins.”
- Unknown (Wood and Carry 73)
I am an avid Alien fan, and I have finished all the movies. While I am waiting for the release of the new Hulu series I though I might try out the graphic novels. Maybe it’s because I typically don’t read old-style graphic novels, or maybe it’s because of how short it was, but this book just didn’t do it for me. The art is nice, but they do this weird thing where they make the outline of the eyes really thick so you can barely see it… and while I get this was a stylist choice I just wasn’t a fan. As a fan of the franchise, I feel obligated to read/watch all the media relating to the canonical timeline (Even though these are technically spin-offs) so for me this wasn’t a waste of time, but if you aren’t as devoted to it I wouldn’t recommend this book.

Oh gee, an issue of a comic where a character(s) tries to locate some kind of space colony, and shenanigans ensue. Never seen that done before.
Also, woah, what's with this sequence of credits that we have here? This comic's getting all fancy on us, thinking that it is some sort of movie, but I got bad news for you: you're still just a comic! Sure, you probably would be a better movie than a good number of the actual Alien movies, but still...... comic.

Good read
Yep this has my interest which excellent art an interesting opening that is this far a good read. I would give it another star but hate incomplete comics. I guess it will keep my interest for now until the next issue.

Dark horse comics tales of the Alien setting.
Good color artwork,dark horse freebie. Amanda Ripley teams up with zula. The corporations are still making power plays. Xenomorphs or Aliens are still being sought after.

A brief peek at Aliens Earth, and a set up for high stakes horror and espionage with Zula and Ripley, who we can hope will be excellent heirs to the franchise.

Eh, not as big a fan of Wood as I used to be. Going to skip this series.

This book seems clever on the face
but
not so much once you start to read it.
It's just been done before.
There is nothing new
to be found here.
