The Alien and Predator franchises are full of iconic imagery, of scenes that have become so ingrained in pop culture memory, and of scenes that have been spoofed or homaged in countless other franchises. With such a wealth of brilliant sequences, it's very easy for fans - for fans of cinema, regardless of just Alien and Predator - to discuss ... [Read More]

Perfect Organism is to Alien what Man of Steel is to Superman, what Dark Knight is to Batman. The Perfect Organism is the Alien. So when David told Walter “I found perfection here. I’ve created it. Perfect Organism” Alien: Covenant is explicitly telling us something: that David created the Alien.  Before we dive too deep, I just wanted to say that ... [Read More]

If you’re familiar with Alien vs. Predator Galaxy, it should come as no surprise that I’d be interested in exploring more of those could-have-beens. But unlike some of our other articles, this isn’t an alternate script. It’s a look at an alternate design that has eventually been retconned into something completely different. And the road that this particular retcon has ... [Read More]

From the moment Pat Cadigan’s Alien 3: The Unproduced Screenplay by William Gibson was first announced, I had been incredibly curious about how I was going to react to it. At the risk of repeating myself from previously talking about the other recent adaptations of Gibson’s material, this kind of project is something I’m really enthusiastic about.   It was one of the things ...

One of the things I truly love about the Alien series is how so many of the entries have such unique styles. It’s as true for the video games as it is for the films.

When you think about Predator characters, Light-Stepper is not one you often see get talked about. Despite the fact that next to Ahab, he’s actually the most recurring Predator, Light-Stepper doesn’t see the same attention that the likes of Broken Tusk or Wolf do. And while Light-Stepper’s appearances are in shorter stories, he also has the distinction of being the ... [Read More]

We’ve got just about a month to go until the release of Aliens: Fireteam Elite, the new co-op survival shooter by Cold Iron Studios. After only hearing rumors about the game since development was announced in January of 2018, the game was finally revealed to us in March of 2021 as Aliens: Fireteam.

I don’t think it’s a secret that I’ve really been enjoying Titan’s Alien novels. As of Alien: Into Charbydis, Titan has now been responsible for publishing the majority of my favourite Alien novels. Even the ones that don’t sound like they should work – such as Alien: Out Of The Shadows – have been solid, entertaining reads. But one area where ... [Read More]
