Alchemy is a good story,
I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Never read Alchemy before this thread. Now I'm glad I did, that was really nice.

"Aliens: The Alien" has a Space Jockey meeting with the President of the United States and subsequently getting blown out of the sky by ICBMs.

"Aliens: Alien" is the one you're thinking of with the tribe of extraterrestrials.

Those titles sound WAY too similar, let's be honest.
I'm not gonna disagree. :P

I don't remember which one that is.

One of them if I remember right was about a tribe of aliens, an actual Alien, and a crashed human survivor.

But I don't remember if it was Alien or The Alien (or if it is actually either one of them).

I remember the SJ one now.

I'd say Stronghold is probably my favorite.  Then Alchemy.  I'd have to throw Genocide up there as well, it is pretty formulaic with flat characters, but I read the shit out of it when I was a kid.

I would say Alchemy is John Arcudi's most tonally succinct Aliens story but I really enjoy "Alien" for its originality. So I'd rate Arcudi's stories as

1. Alchemy
2. Alien
3. Stronghold
4. More than Human
5. Genocide
6. Reapers
7. The Alien

Really? Fantastic. lol

I think Ripley said it best-"You know, Burke, I'm not sure which species is worse. You don't see them f**king each other over for a goddamn percentage."

Alchemy is really cool, and the villain is a pretty memorable piece of shit that you can't wait to get murdered.

Like Carter Burke, eh? The guy so loathed that the mother of the actor nodded when he was turned into Alien chow.
