Alien: Romulus / Re: Alien: Romulus Catch-All T...

Last post by The Cruentus - Today at 05:18:28 PM

Ah, we're at the "just watch the film regardless of whether the advertising does its job convincing you" stage of the pre-release cycle.

But... the advertising so far *HAS* done its job in convincing me to watch it... it's one of the reasons I'm personally riding the hype train. 😅

For you.

Not necessarily for others.

That's the point. If others decide they don't want to watch it, then they don't need to watch it.

So then go watch Alien and Aliens for 1000000 times more and stop crying about everything about Romulus 

Was that necessary?

Lol I think not. We're on a forum discussing everything, from past films to upcoming ones, toys, novels, games etc... It's expected to have different opinions, from enthusiastic to skeptical and wary.

lol oh I know it wasn't, just putting him on the spot for being uncivil.

And agreed, different views shouldn't be an issue. We all have a right to our opinions, being praise or criticism of the franchise.

Prometheus had a good marketing campaign, plus Ridley Scott's return to the genre was the cherry on top.

I think to some it has become the opposite affect now. Ridley's name on a new alien project brings dread.

Alien-Predator Literature / Re: Alien Romulus Novelization

Last post by Perfect-Organism - Today at 04:56:38 PM

Is anyone else kinda surprised there has been no announcement for a Romulus novelization? I personally like having the novelizations for all the films. I hope we get one down the line like we did with Isolation.

Heck, we practically got two for Covenant if you consider the prequel (with no featured aliens)

Still no info on a novelization?  Does someone have a contact at Titan or perhaps ADF to look into this?  I have a slot on my shelf waiting for this...

Alien-Predator Literature / Re: Marvel Announces New Antho...

Last post by Xiggz456 - Today at 03:24:07 PM

Okay so I just read all 4 issues in one go so I'll go story by story starting with the 4 parter "Utopia" by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing. Absolutely loved this one, probably my favorite story since Marvel took over!

Spoiler

First of all it was great to see a UPP centric story that wasn't strictly focused on UPP vs Wey-Yu and USCMC. Also cool to see a ship dedicated to true socialist ideals and how slippery that slope can be when dealing with humanity's ego and desperation. I love how the aliens were portrayed as a perfect organism and how the Siostra eventually began to recognize that perfection (as all synths do lol) over the course of centuries.

[close]

Overall Utopia was a wonderfully grim tale that I'd highly recommend and gorgeous artwork by Michael Dowling further enriched the experience 9/10!

Next up is "The Hunt" by Stephanie Phillips - Fun short tale of revenge, aliens and rich assholes

Spoiler

where everyone dies! What's not to love lol.

[close]

Also artist Marcelo Ferreira did a great job with many dynamic panels that illustrated the lethality of the Aliens.

Final story in issue 1 is "Maternal Instinct" by Ryan Cady with Devmalya Pramanik on art duties. Another beautifully drawn short story using MU-TH-R as the main protaganist.

Spoiler

Really enjoyed the kid's journey through the ship which gave me kind of an "Isolation/Blackout" vibe with MU-TH-R guiding the kid along the "safest" route to the escape pod. Also loved the panel of the queen standing over the kid.

[close]

The next story is the first short from Issue 2 "Morsel" by Paul Jenkins with art by Luigi Teruel.

Spoiler

Another dark tale of Aliens decimating a ranching settlement a la Ryushi from the first AVP comic.

[close]

Not my favorite but fun nonetheless.

The final short in issue 2 is "First Day" by Stephanie Williams and drawn by artist Jethro Morales. Some wildly stylized alien art in this one but a quick story of

Spoiler

aliens overtaking a space station and a company loyal marine getting their comeuppance.

[close]

Next is the first short from issue 3 "Gear In The Machine" by Cody Ziglar and Claire Roe on art duties. Very enjoyable short with

Spoiler

Wey-Yu scientists talking shop and shit about impregnated hosts that have been shipped to them for research when one Alien breaks free and corporate decides it's not worth it to save them.

[close]

Great use of the black white and red color schemes on this one.

Last short from issue 3 is "Lucky" by Steve Foxe with artist Tommaso Bianchi. Considering I'm a husky owner (father lol) I have a soft spot for this story and it's

Spoiler

one of the few times I'm glad that an Alien story had a reasonably happy ending!

[close]

Onto issue 4 we have "Hide & Seek" by Bryan Hill and Chriscross on art. A grim tale showcasing Wey-Yu's propensity to ensnare desperate people into dangerous contracts.

The final short of the series is "Mother" by Pornsak Pichetshote and art by Partha Pratim. Which is actually a sequel to the Issue 1's short "Maternal Instinct"

Spoiler

follows the daughter of the saved boy from "Maternal Instinct" and her quest to "preserve" humanity's beauty by killing off any aspect's of humanity's ugly nature (war and those who take part of it)

[close]

Overall this was a really fun anthology series and potentially my favorite Marvel release thus far. The range of shorts explored multiple themes from the franchise in new ways which I really enjoyed.
