Following on from the announcement earlier this week that Reebok was releasing a new Colonial Marines themed pair of Bug Stompers for 2020’s Alien Day, we now know what else is in store for us this year.
Compared to recent years it’s much more subdued, with the Bug Stompers being the main attraction. Due to the current global quarantines in place, there’s obviously no screenings as we would usually expect. In addition to their Bug Stompers, Reebok also has two new Alien shirts that will be released on Alien Day.
Aliens vs. Pinball will also be 50% off and Alien: Blackout will be available for free as well! I still consider Blackout underappreciated and if you’re one of those who are still holding out, you can’t argue with a free download! Feral Interactive will also be running a sweepstakes via their social media for a chance to win copies of Dark Horse’s rare Alien: Isolation tie-in comic.
The fan community also has plenty planned. Alien vs. Predator Galaxy will be publishing an interview with Mark Verheiden, the writer of the very first original Alien comics that kicked off the Expanded Universe! The fan-comic Olethros will be publishing its 7th issue and the audio drama Charon will be releasing their 5th episode.

Check back in on Alien Day for our interview with comic legend Mark Verheiden!
Studio Yutani will be holding a giveaway with some pretty swanky prizes, as well as publishing three brand new interviews! I don’t believe Perfect Organism has announced any plans yet, but I would expect they’ll be releasing some content too.
Make sure you stick with Alien vs. Predator Galaxy for the latest Alien and Predator news! You can follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube to get the latest on your social media walls. You can also join in with fellow Alien and Predator fans on our forums!
Thanks also to AVPGalaxy for liking the post too
*raises hand* I volunteer to guest-star when AvPGalaxy does their Aliens commentary.
I don't think they were annoying, they just didn't took it as seriously as people here do because they're not fans of the initial premise ( Alien versus Predator, I mean). At the end of the day, site's called AvPGalaxy so AvP as a concept is taken into consideration as well as Alien and Predator while their show's called Perfect Organism which implies Alien, only Alien and nothing apart from Alien. So when they eventually get to talk about something else they just don't hold it to such high standarts. I had a lot of fun listening to them.
To be quite honest, AvPR commentary that Hicks and Co did while was quite enjoyable and fun left me a bit pissed off at the end when RidgeTop tried to evaluate the movie saying that it at least better than The Predator with what I just cannot agree. Sorry, RidgeTop, nothing personal, just difference of opinions.
But I agree that they need to do more of these.
The other guys were annoying.
Hicks' own AVP:R commentary was much better.
Must be the sequel to Echo.
I shot 2 videos, one shorter version (8 minutes)
One longer version (24 minutes)
As for PO guys: I haven't listened this commentary yet (there was surprisinhly a lot of content yesterday) but I found the first episode of their so called Shit Show about AvP to be fun and engaging. I guess, I just enjoyed their more light and positive approach 'cause whenever I hear someone talk about AvP lately It's mostly giving the movie shit about how dissapointing it was.
As SM says. Until they rebuild after the merger, I wouldn't expect any big stuff. What's being announced now is that was already in place.
I was pleasantly surprised! Without any official announcements, it was still a very busy day! I was glued to the Twitter feed and it was always active. It was really nice to see it trending. Alien still makes some noise!
Yeah, the footage you sent me was much nicer. I was always keen to just do it "authentically" but I just think better looking is more preferable now.
I hope everyone had a good day, whatever they were doing!
Even though it was quieter there was still some nice artwork and shares going around.
Hicks' Alien Trilogy stream inspired me to mess around with some emulation for the game, and I must say I got it looking pretty good! Hopefully a 'Let's Play' for that one is in order.
Done!!! So glad this was available again.
It is very good. No question.
So.... no Audible audio-drama announcements? Not even a whisper?
Id dare to say one of the best soundtracks ever made. Haunting and gripping throat like very few
Hicks is alive and well! Awesome! Welcome!
True, true. On both accounts. It is a great film. However, a different film can still, and should be made. Side-canon.
Only ever played the game once on my XBox 360, so I just took advantage of that and grabbed the full collection!
I have the sound-track to this on my iPod and I often go for a spin at night in Toronto these days, listening to this.
Happy Alien Day folks!
Thanks bobby! I hope you're having a good day!
Happy Alien day!!
I made this little gem for the occasion. Stay frosty.

I wanted to get a box of 2018 Upper Deck Aliens, but I couldn’t get one until this week. I also almost purchased a 2018 Upper Deck Aliens - Actor Reactor autograph of Sigourney Weaver (the artwork is fantastic), but didn’t want to drop $600 just yet (notice I said yet). I will be starting my favorite film, Alien3 (Assembly cut version) in a few minutes, hope everyone has a great Alien Day and stay safe out there!
Do you think that there is any chance Disney will sell Alien franchise to another studio?
Anyway I decided last week to give the Zulu Hendricks quadrilogy a chronological re-read so I read all of “Defiance” on Sunday, read through “Prototype” over the course of the week and this morning I finished it off with “Resistance” and “Rescue”. Now I’m gonna give the prequels a go.
Have a great day y’all!
Happy 4/26, y'all! Try not to catch any Bugs!
It'll be up in 45 minutes.
There's no-one in charge of the franchise at the minute. It's all still recovering from the merger.
Disney are stopping independent cinemas from showing ALIEN or limiting cinematic re-relases unless sanctioned by Disney.
There was a debate over whether this "vault" would extend to limiting the supplies of newly pressed Blu-Rays, but doesn't mean ones manufactured would be pulled from the shelves.
Happy Alien Day my a*s!!!

What does "vaulted" even mean though? I can still go buy Alien on bluray at walmart or online. I actually just picked up the Alien 4k disc 2 weeks ago myself.

Well Disney "vaulted" the 1979 movie and no mention from Mr H reviews (YouTube) on whose in charge or corporate structure at 20th Century Films.
If only we could get some idea of what Disney/Fox is planning with the franchise..
