I sincerely hope pre-date.

The Walmart Report doesn't have that ring to it

So, Corporal Hicks asked if I could hang out here for a couple of days to answer questions. Happy to do so; I'll check in every day for the rest of the week, at least. Feel free to ask whatever. And I totally agree with locusta--whatever the price, I'm also proud to be connected to this project. Being the voice of Weyland Yutani was great fun, and the layout they sent me to caption was awesome; I'm sure it's an amazing book.

Hi SD Perry (if you're still around), I'm a HUGE fan of your work and have read all your Aliens/AVP books.  I was REALLY excited to hear that you would be working on the Weyland-Yutani Report, it's so reassuring to know that a project of this magnitude was put in the hands of someone with a longstanding history in the franchise.  I just wanted to ask whether this Report will reference any of the events that you (and your father) have novelized in many of your stories; you guys are such great authors, it would be amazing to re-live your tales again in this book.

Is SM taking questions now?

The whole Walmart thing is only mentioned in the DC of ALIEN:Resurrection.  Therefor I personally consider it non existing.

Is that dog alien illustration a locusta original?

Also, who's idea was "Xenomorph XX121?"  An an avowed hater of the term "xenomorph" as it's come to be used by fans, I actually dig that idea a nice compromise.  Kudos to Ms. Perry if she came up with it.

The rest of that sample page about the facehugger pleases me considerably.  Sold.

Thanx allot.

Well, the SideShow page was just updated and should hopefully not give away to much, but at least make more tease

Based on what I've seen so far, I seriously hope Fox assembles the same talent to mastermind the franchise for any other Alien-related projects in the future.

And I say that as an admitted bitter, old and cynical fan who lost faith in the series ages ago and now yells at kids to stay off my lawn.

Looks good!

Now you know why the huggers in the medlab didn't melt through the glass like they did with Kane's helmet visor.

And the Egg Morphing vs Queen issue has also been answered (to a certain extent).

I've no idea who originally came up with it, but it was used in Sea of Sorrows.

They are, however, free.

I like that the actors' first names were used for some of the Prometheus characters.

Like how certain bits relating to David and Shaw's fate has been blanked out.
