Aliens: Bug Hunt - Aliens Anthology Announced!

[HuDaFuK]

The stories featuring characters from Aliens are generally among the worst ones. On balance, most of the original stuff was better.

It's a situation made worse by the fact all the Aliens-alumni stories are lumped together.

It's not as bad as the "Alien Queen banging humans" stuff on fanfic websites

I actually quite like the Bishop one but the Hicks one was hands-down the worse entry in this anthology for me. Also agreed on the spacing. The story placement in the anthology was also really questionable too.

You learn something new every day... 

As HuDa said. All the original stuff was nice IMO, I enjoyed it. The ones featuring characters from Aliens? I really couldn't get into that them, and after hearing the reviews, I just skipped them when I saw a familiar name.

There are definitely exceptions to that rule - like you say, the Bishop one was pretty good, while I found that f*cking centipede story abhorrent and there's not a movie character in sight. But in general all the shorts I really loved seemed to be original stories whereas most of the ones with characters from the second film seemed to be pretty weak.

I really enjoyed quite a few stories on the Bug Hunt audiobook! Even the not so great ones weren't so bad.

If Hicks ever does a podcast with the authors, please ask why they forgot Dietrich was a medtech. Also, what was up with the whole squad treating Wierzbowski like crap in "Blowback?"

Poor poor Wierzbowski. Being treated so badly. I feel really bad that.... wait... wait... I'm already over it. Phew! That second and a half was rough!!!

I took that as a bit of a joke at him having no lines in Aliens lol.
