Aliens: Omnibus Volume 1
The Story:
Dark Horse Comics took the industry by storm with its release of Aliens, a comics series that for the first time captured the power of film source material and expanded its universe in a way that fans applauded worldwide. Now, the first three Dark Horse Aliens series - Outbreak, Nightmare Asylum and Female War - are collected in a value-priced, quality-format omnibus, featuring nearly 400 story pages in full color. Written by screen and television scribe Mark Verheiden (The Mask, Battlestar Gallactica) and illustrated with consummate skill by Mark A. Nelson, Den Beauvais and Sam Kieth, Aliens Omnibus Volume 1 is an essential piece of the Aliens mythos and a great entry point into the storied Dark Horse Aliens library. – amazon.com
The Deal:
These 384 pages will grab hold of your attention like the true sequel to the second movie “Aliens” should have. This 3-story alternative to the “Aliens 3” movie, tells the continuing story of Ripley, Wilks, and Rebecca (Newt). Of course the aliens are back also, in many different ways and mankind must fight them on Earth, in space, and on the alien homeworld. We also see the return of the other aliens. The gigantic elephant-nosed ones from the first movie who piloted the spaceship that crashed and was full of eggs.
The Bottom Line:
You cannot go wrong buying this trade paperback. So it is a BUY. This is a must for any fan of the series or fan of dark comics. The artwork is stunning and the storyline is top notch. You would have to have a crate of comics to hold the entire story in this one book and it stores a lot easier.
The Quote:
“This time, you nuke the site from orbit. But let me guess, you aren’t going to listen to me, are you? You people never learn.” - Ripley
