Dark Horse is publishing a new Aliens book, this the first one since Fast Track to Heaven in August 2010:
“On a distant, frozen world, “artificial persons” are manufactured in discreet seclusion. With formidable new security synthetics coming online, how better to test their mettle than against a hive of deadly xenomorphs? But as Socialization Specialist Jean DuPaul sees her ever-more-human android charges sent to their destruction, she learns that the most savage species in the universe is man.”
Inhuman Conditions collects the Aliens story written by John Layman, drawn by Sam Kieth and published in Dark Horse Presents #12-17. According to Dark Horse’s website the novella is currently due for release on the 10th of April 2013. Thanks to predxeno for the news.
Unless your father is Steve Perry.
I would love to write my own Aliens/Predator/AvP novel and get it published. Hell, for my Creative Writing class, I came up with an Aliens story I toyed with for a few weeks. It wasn't that good and I reread a portion of it the other day with much dismay but I think I could do it someday.
I wonder if we'll ever get more Aliens novels... It would be great to read one with hints of Engineer/Prometheus content.
What is a graphic novella? Just a short graphic novel? Or is it more like the Aliens book Tribes, words with illustrations?
