Would love to see that fourth issue, given that there were only three ;)

I'm pulling the old age card on this one  ;D ;D ;D ;D


... I mean I just took them out to prove my point ... see there are 4.
HAHAHAHA  ;D

Love the covers of that adaptation.



They are great. I managed to pick up all 4 single issues many moons ago on the cheap.

As excited as I am about the upcoming show, the numbers Marvel has been doing may have helped green light a new film! They're making a killing off of Alien and illustrating the true appeal of the brand as well.

Absolutely. I love the other two as well, despite the weird turquoise sidebars on the third issue.

Not in this, but I've read them online before.

They're completely daft, cheesy and childish, but admittedly kinda fun because of it. Just don't expect anything more than a Saturday morning cartoon in comic form.

The Alien 3 adaptation's mostly interesting for the deleted scenes it contains, some of which didn't even get into the extended cut, like Dillon's original death.

Anyone read through the action figure comics yet? My book is still in the mail and I'm pretty curious about these. Along with the Alien 3 adaptation.

First look at the actual collection

I love to hear that the original characters have been restored.  👏

Oh that looks good. Wonder if the binding will hold for long, which is very often a problem for such incredibly thick books

The added panel is in there, but not as part of the comic - it's included with the bonus material at the back. My copy just arrived :)

Says it was originally added to balance out the two-page spreads in the collected editions. Interesting, I always wondered why they stuck the extra page in there.

Usually printed books run in multiples of 4 pages ... it's why some books have extra blank pages ... a pain in the arse for designers like me (not so bad if you've got lotsa bonus material).

My only criticism thus far - the Tribes artwork is very dark. It's one of the few comics I owned previously and compared to the original all of Dorman's pieces have been (I assume unintentionally) darkened, and as a result a lot of details are obscured.

Some of the Aliens magazine covers included in the back are a lot darker than they actually were too.

Nope, it's just listed as "Alien 3 Trading Card Comic" in the contents.

Interestingly all the comics have their original release titles, so the first two series are just "Aliens", Harvest is "Hive" etc.

The bonus section's pretty tasty. Loads of bonus art and it's even got a bunch of the forewords written for previous collections.
That's great to hear - appreciate the early insights.

If the card comic is included, is it given a formal title? I've always known it as "Alone" but I know that's a fan title.
