That kind of stupid OTT.

If a remake were to be done, the story would merit from going off in a different direction story wise also. I think some people will agree here that it went off the rails post-Book 2.
I used to think it was the art that was the issue, but I've come to see the light. A queen Alien mother calling her children across the universe? You've got to be kidding me.
Earth War had way bigger problems than that. They established the telepathy thing in the early issues of Book 1 so it's not really a big deal.

- Dec 20, 2018, 07:20:37 PMas much as i like sam keiths artwork (i LOVED the maxx), i would like to see earth war redone in an art style that goes better with the over all visual theme set forth in the black and white + airbrushed comics.

You mean a sequel to Gibson's Alien 3 with art by Den featuring the Space Family Hickses?
Nah, I was talking about replacing Earth War, or Female War depending on which you prefer. It was mostly tongue in cheek though.... or was it?
A part of me thinks it would be interesting if a sequel to Book Two culminated in a battle between the space jockeys and the Engineers but that still would not account for the Alien home-world in the Nelson / Verheiden book. Regardless, a better telling of the conclusion to the Verheiden / Nelson / Beauvais series should be possible....

SM, you have some pull, surely you could drop a hint with Dark Horse that we need another Den Beauvais series. It's been 30 years...
Since the new Alien 3 series is introducing the idea of alternative timelines, perhaps we could pick up right at the end of book 2?? Any takers?
I've told Fox Beauvais would be great to have back.
But I have no pull.

I've loved his alien art for most of my life. Breaks my heart that we will probably never see Aliens Countdown get released again.
