Marvel's First Alien Series Announced!

[Sabres21768]

The one thing with the writing I really don't care for is the liberal use of "Xenomorph" as the creatures' actual name; even the recap blurb as the start of the issues refers to them as such.

Other than that though, I'm intrigued by the writing and where it is going.

So what name shall we use for them, seen like 4-5 different names for them through the years.

Linguafoeda Acheronsis...best name ever.

[BlueMarsalis79]

All of them suck. But especially Internecivus raptus and especially Linguafoeda Acheronsis.

[Nightmare Asylum]

"Ayy lmao" works.

[BlueMarsalis79]

Ayyy lmao truly best Alien name.

How about Diaconus Raptus 😹

Phallocephalus Vilis

Honestly, the moniker I've been most taken with since its introduction is XX121. I like the idea that all aliens are classified as Xenomorph, but with varying degrees of further classification.

Oh, and I loved the Genocide callback! Nice to see the Grant Corporation referenced here.

Ya the Grant Corp shout out was a pleasant surprise!

Spoiler

Considering Danny was working security for them I wonder how big of a competitor they are to WY

[Nightmare Asylum]

Huh, I wonder if maybe that's the Alpha, and the Sil-like thing we glimpsed in issue one is just how it is depicted in his dreams? That does bring into question the Hammerpedes, though...

Lol 

[Immortan Jonesy]

How about Diaconus Raptus 😹

I prefer Hard Meat! 

Are you trying to offend me or something? 

[Nightmare Asylum]

Hearing the Predator term "Hard Meat" is the quickest way to elicit the exact opposite bodily response.

[Immortan Jonesy]

And that makes it less offensive?
