Personal opinion, but everything you listed below Monolith's AVP isn't worth much of a damn. Apart from Arcade, as the epitome of fun nonsense and AVP 2010 is just very mediocre an alright time waster but it's also unfortunately directly connected to the AVP and AVPR continuity. I haven't read much AVP admittedly, but I'll give you a barometer by saying I felt anything with Machiko Noguchi past the first AVP is trash, Fire and Stone/Life and Death is trash and The Rage War is trash.

Everything is thrash , isn't it ?




When you're a smart, sassy, cvalda acolyte; yes, literally everything other than Alien and Under The Skin is trash.


(FI no offense homie :D)

Agree that Duel, Hell Bent, Chained to Life and Death are great. Booty is a bit more light-hearted. Maybe not great, but still a fun read IMO.

Fair enough!
I actually enjoyed how the 2010 game took concepts from terrible movies and used them in a better way.
As far as Machiko, I like the original and Three World War, but I'm not a fan of War (except that first chapter with the Alien Queen).

Tbh. The only one of those i'm not familiar with is rage war, and they all leave me cold at best.

There's a lot of good AvP stuff, if you're willing to go beyond the movies.
Here's my list:

1. The original Aliens vs. Predator comic series, the one that started it all. I really like the story, the setting and the characters, it's all well done. It expanded the Predator culture, and the fact that it was made before Predator 2 is impressive, since they only had the first movie (and the concrete jungle comic) to draw inspiration from. Unfortunately, since it was made before Alien3, there is a few inconcistencies with the Aliens that didn't get any characteristics from their hosts, but its a minor thing. It was also turned into a novel that, like it or hate it, created the whole Yautja concept.

2. Aliens vs. Predator 2 game, my favorite game of the franchise, and the one I've spent more time playing. A lot of variety with the three campaings, and a fun multiplayer. Playing as the Marine was one of the better experiences I had in games back then.

3. Aliens vs Predator Arcade. This needs to be released on steam ASAP.

4. The Rage War. I love novels, and this trilogy was a blast to read.

5. Three World War, the comic that concludes the Machiko Noguchi story.

6. A lot of the one shots: Duel, Blood Time, Chained to Life and Death, Hell Bent, Booty...

7. Aliens vs. Predator 2010 game. Don't like the Alien campaing, but the Marine and the Predator ones are great fun.

8. Fire and Stone and Life and Death, loved the crossovers bringing stuff from Prometheus into the mix.

The original comic is very solid (art and story), though with awful colouring.

AvP2 is a great game

I like the design and concept of Wolf

AvP2 and the original comic. I find the rest reliably unimpressive.

Actually, the boardgame has some very nice models to paint, and the rules are fun, but it has a pretty awful story, so it's a very mixed bag. Thankfully you can just make your own missions and narrative.

If that's the best AVP got, it isn't worth much.

AvP 2 > Rage War trilogy > original comic > AvP 2004 > everything else > AvP : R
