I think this whole thing could do with a creative shakeup by the looks of it.

Quote from: Local Trouble on Jul 21, 2022, 06:47:31 PMDo you think they actually spent more than ten seconds of thought on it?
I was hoping for at least ten seconds.

Spoiler
Writer, PKJ, has pulled an Out of the Shadows and reintroduced Ash to the series. As much as I didn't like seeing the character return in Out of the Shadows, having his 'consciousness' stow away on the Narcissus was, at least, a believable enough idea and as a one off in a book that also brings about the awkward and unlikely canonical return of Ripley to the narrative, it all kind of lives in its funny own world as it is.

I realize that there are many Bishop, David, and Walter models out there so it's likely that there are other
Ash models, as well, but the way it was handled felt a little clunky and took the wind out of the story's sails for me. I mean, I'm not sure this annual's story was going to set anyone's soul on fire but throwing in Ash took it from a middling by-the-numbers effort into something that took me out of the story.

There being a line of Ash models kind of ignores the whole "everyone was surprised he was an android" thing. Do they address that?

Spoiler
It's not other copies of his model. It's like Out of the Shadows where it's his "consciousness" in a new synthetic body.

That's fair. What about his return is working for you? I think it technically works but I get weird when Fox and licensees mine that first movie too much, for some reason.

And, yeah, that woman in the dark was dropped in the first issue and after two story arcs and two one-shots (granted, one of them was written by Ben Percy) we still have seen nothing of what was hinted at there.

I read PKJ's ACTION monthly as well and that's also taking it's sweet time to get to the point.
I wasn't expecting him to come into play so I was really surprised which made me like it .

 

anyway the solicitation for alien #2  is out  .

NOTHING ORGANIC EVER TANGLED WITH US AND WALKED AWAY.
"Steel Team," the legendary, unkillable Synthetic Special Operations team, has been reactivated. Sent to an abandoned Weyland-Yutani outpost to recover a project that now could save millions, Steal Team is the United Systems' only hope as they navigate the hellscape that the once-idyllic Tobler-9 has become. Since its mysterious downfall years earlier, Tobler-9 is considered one of the most hostile environments in the known universe, a place where nothing organic could possibly have survived...could it?

Still Collating...

Yeah, I'm not thrilled with this author's stories, at least we are getting new artists, that might help my enjoyment. The new ark sounds interesting, I hope it works, the last two stories didn't feel right.

judge death

OMG, this sounds so dumb and lazy idea, yeah the writer dont get the alien world and just do what he thinks is cool and "what if this happened" based on what he saw in other stories or movies and then do it without thinking how it shall fit in the lore or even work with the rest of the franchise.
Bringing this charachter back after titan novels made a good end for it, is just lazy.

With this writer we can only hope for good art, the story and dialog will be a disaster still.

The only way I am interested in this "woman in the dark" story angle is if it turns out she is the Ms. Vickers "organic robot" from Prometheus...


I rather liked this story.  The action was well paced, and the horror twists were well executed.  It's a good cap off to the first Marvel series which I felt was better than the second Marvel series anyway.  A very enjoyable read.

Woman in the dark being Vickers would be a surprise but I think she's just someone new

Perfect-Organism

The thing is, if Vickers was the alien woman in the series, at least this would make sense that she is a random by-product of a Juggernaut full of goo falling on her rather than David creating her for some unknown reason.

BlueMarsalis79

That's ridiculous, Meredith Vickers got crushed into nothing resembling a human being, nothing more.

I'm betting the Marvel character's a haphazard tie in to Destroyer Of Worlds The Perfected concept, with no real purpose, just a "this exists" type thing.

I don't think her and the perfected are the same thing  and I don't think it would be half hazard  seems the woman in the dark is what PKJ bases his whole run around and  its probably as planned out as his war world saga on action comics was
