Dark Horse Announces Aliens: Defiance

[426Buddy]

I have a feeling this is going to be my favorite dark horse alien series, has the potential thats for sure.

My only minor complaint is that i'm not huge fan of the style of the cover art, although that's merely my personal taste, as they are done very well.

There's also a Mark A. Nelson variant.  That's epic!  Nelson is THE original Aliens legend...

Thats the one I ended up preordering, too bad he isn't doing covers for each issue though, that would have been amazing.

Previews World has a new interview with Brian Wood about Defiance. Is it Aliens Day yet?

They all sound so dedicated and you can see it in everything we get! This wait is unbearable.

[Ultramorph]

You can definitely see the passion everyone involved has.

Also, in case anyone is still unsure about how standalone Defiance will or won't be, this came up in a Twitter conversation:

Yes, it's not connected to the Life & Death series

Can't believe i'm this hyped for something Aliens again, I'm more hyped for this than I am Covenant (and I'm pretty excited for Covenant too)

[Perfect-Organism]

Thank goodness.  I want my stand-alone Aliens series.

[LordCassusSnow]

Give me more Alien and less Aliens. I want more gothic horror movie in space and less of the usual canon fodder for one liner marines weve been gettin over n over n over. I know James Camerons movie was a huge success but it was just a sequel. Alien sets up the beast how its supposed to be. A game of cat and mouse against a seemingly invincible beast who lurks in the shadow awaiting its prey. If someone could put something like Alien Out Of The Shadows in comic form i'd be completely blown away!

[Perfect-Organism]

It would indeed be great if the new Alien novels from Titan were adapted into comic form.

[KiramidHead]

Isn't Out of the Shadows the one where Ripley comes out of hypersleep between the first two movies? If so... yeah, no. That's dumb.

I think the premise was terrible, but the execution was terrific.  It was fun to read a Ripley / Ash story too.  It makes for a great "What if?" story.  If you treat it that way, it's an excellent read.  For Fox to say it's canon, is an insult to the intelligence of the fans though.

Totally. Fun read, but not something one would ever say 'happened'. Lebbon couldn't even be bothered to count the cryotubes in the Narcissus, fer cryin' out loud...

The latest tease from Tristan!



Looks like Seegson Security but the tag would imply not. Loving the DAO shotgun too!

[HuDaFuK]

Sweet! Loving the oldschool look mixed with the Marine-inspired armour.

Was sad we never really got to see Seegson Security in Isolation.
