Aliens vs Avengers

[TilotnyWorshiper28]

Why some people are suprised that in SUPERHERO crossover there are some wild  superhero shenanigans? It's what that types of stories are for, to collide two vastly different worlds with everything special they both have to offer. So I don't have a problem when supervillain (called MISTER SINISTER, for Christ's sake) has guns that shoot facehuggers. It's so wild that it becomes cool. And a little bit terryfying, come to think of it. But despite that kind od wacky superhero stuff, this comic has some moody, pesymystic atmosphere and shows Alien infestation as proper, world-ending threat. And I love how Hickman is playing with both Alien and Marvel lore. Only thing that I don't enjoy in this crossover is constantly pushed back release dates. Wonder what's going on with this?

the artist likes to take his time with drawing

I understand the complaint. I know it's a crossover, but I'd been finding the tone of the overrun to be quite on the serious side so far, so the facehugger gun does feel a little out of place within the series. Mr Sinister isn't a character I'm too knowledgeable about either, so I admit to finding it a little jarring.

So I took a chance on this one after @Corporal Hicks stating he liked what he read so far.

First off I am not a Marvel guy - I'll be blunt in saying that - I wouldn't say I'm a DC guy but my preference for Batman and Superman probably means I sort of am.

That said the first 3 issues have been very good. The artwork is outstanding and FINALLY the colouring is spot on in tone and colour palette wise (something I've bitched about a lot previously regarding Marvel's tendency for hypercolour palettes). The story has been also very good - deadly serious!

Really looking forward to reading issue 4.

Given that the DC crossovers are well in the past, this'll probably never happen, but Aliens vs Suicide Squad would be f**king brilliant. I'd be particularly interested in seeing how Weasel would handle the Xenos.

Is this sort of time between issues the norm at Marvel?  Brings back fond memories of the long wait between early Alien comics at Dark Horse.

[Corporal Hicks]

None of the other Alien/Predator runs have had this space between releases as far as I remember. They've been pretty reliably monthly. They just seem to be giving AvA this space. Perhaps actually respecting an artist for once?

Now come on.
