SpoilerWriter, 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.[close]SpoilerThere being a line of Ash models kind of ignores the whole "everyone was surprised he was an android" thing. Do they address that?[close]

I just want PKJ to get to the point and do something with the woman in the dark 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 just want PKJ to get to the point and do something with the woman in the dark 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.
