Aliens: Music of the Spears (1994) #1

by Chet Williamson, Timothy Bradstreet (Cover Art), Guy Burwell (Cover Art)

Little-known and under-appreciated composer Damon Eddington wants to hatch an Alien egg so he can nurture the Alien in captivity and capture its sounds of hatred and pain for the ultimate concert—sounds of rage made from "a mouthful of spears." In this first of a four-issue series, Damon's corporate patron, Synsound, has taken on the responsibility of procuring the egg for him, a task that will lead to more excitement than the team of ninjas assigned to it were planning on.

Dammit, you all had me so excited for a potential story about a bunch of ninjas fighting the xenomorph, and. you had to go and take it all away from me! It was only for the first couple of pages, I wanted to see a full-out ninja brawl with this thing! Oh well...... there is always the next Alien series, I suppose. Also, they have technology in this universe that is able to replicate an entire purpose, regardless of if they wanted it or not? What year is it, 2025?! HA HA HA HA HA....... *sigh*......
