Dark Horse Announces Aliens: Defiance

[Glaive]

I'd like for them to bring back Thing From Another World comics.   Matches perfect with the Aliens universe.

You and me, both!!

Same. I loved those series. Although still havent read Issue #4 of Eternal Vows and its bloody difficult to get hold of lol

It hurts knowing we could have had an issue full of

done by Tristan.

Tristan no more being connected to that series is a major throw back imo. Not wanna be criticizing or offending anybody else´s art or style, but Tristan´s is simply the best right now, the comic part of the franchise ever had.

So I finally managed to get a hold of #8. I liked it, but less than the last few. The whole dreamscape setting took me a couple of reads to make sense of what was going on, but there were some neat snippets in there. Also liked that

Hollis may not be so fine after all. I'd be pretty happy if they did include the Chestburster cancer thing.

i don't think the return to earth is new either as Extravehicular seems to have then in earths atmosphere.

that's is just my assumption though so I could be wrong.

Nope, it's stated in that issue that they were entering the atmosphere of some other planet, not Earth.

Ah ok. I have only read that story once as opposed to the other 8 issues which I keep reading. I'll have to take another look. 

Did no one else get a Mark A Nelson vibe from the aliens in issue 8 ?

Got some catching up to do.  Hope 6, 7, and 8 are good...

They are good, especially number 6.

Still the best Aliens comic series in a long time even without Tristan.

Agreed. I would say in the running for best. Just my opinion though.

Looking forward to picking up issue 9 and The Volume 1 Trade this Thursday!

[HuDaFuK]

Shit, is the collected edition coming out already? That came around far quicker than I was expecting!

[Corporal Hicks]

It's nearly been a year. I'm going to hold out on the collected editions. Hoping for another fancy pants hardback release.

And I think it would be a safe bet that the fancy pants would have lots of Tristan's prelim artwork and over great extras

Maybe Defiance won't end at #12?

[426Buddy]

Not liking that cover much.

I don't understand why dark horse won't give us more Raymond Swanland covers.

They did always say there was a possibility it would go on longer. And I have no issue with that.
