Where's that TPB so I can pre-order it a year in advance, when it comes to my Aliens TPB's, I'm quite anal.
Bay 12 puhlease.
All the nonsensical aspects discarded equals perhaps a worthy concept and believable organisation.

With religious extremists you would have villains that don't have to act too rational or half way relatable to be believable and it's way more believable that they would engage in large scale atrocities than a publicly traded company. A cult full of amoral religious nutbags that sacrifice human live without second thought is not that farfetched.
You could also have them infiltrate key positions in society to give them more influence etc.

But religious extremist could work. An Alien worshipping cult like in some of the old EU stuff.
I ought to specify;
A new good, believable foe.
Like The Rage?
But yes, it is all part of the same overarching story from Defiance, Resistance, Rescue etc.
sighs, this is getting tiresome. I know I am sounding like a broken record as well but come on, they should have a new antagonist or at least a plot that doesn't involve W-Y/some other corporation in a negative light.
Bay 12 please.
Wat.
I pointed out to the Powers That Be that it's probably too early for Conestogas and a slight variation would show it's not the same ship class.
My powers are weak.
Fixed it for you.

So you're mad because there's new Alien content coming out to fast?
Scratches head until it hurts.
Exactly.
Awesome cover!!!
As usual, variant is some artistic nonsense.
The Conestoga Class vessel utilisation is conventional? Yes.
But the iconography is prosaic now, the William Gibson treatment adaptation's a notorious offender.
The comic cover is similar but I think its actually much better than the poster that probably inspired it.
On a side note, the Conestoga-class light assault carrier sure gets around lol. So overly used in the EU

SMH that there's still no announcement for that Doug Wheatley AVP series, though.
