William Gibson's Alien 3

[SM]

I found the Gibson drafts, the first one particularly, not the greatest reads.

I read the first three issues scripts for this some time ago (oops, I dropped something) and they really sucked me in. And I don't think Christmas has actually changed anything. They just flow better. Seeing a legit - if alternate - Hicks in action again should be sweet.

I'm pleased to see some influence from the second draft in those pages.

Yep, the opening seemed based off the second draft. Dem wrist-mounted smartguns! 

This run is going to be 5 issues btw.

5 issues will male for a great fancy pants. Could include the actual script as an extra.

The Fancy that Dark Horse released for the Star Wars Original script adaptation was beautiful.

Can you tell us which draft it's based on?

[SM]

No.

Really exciting!  It's going to be great to see Hicks in action again!

Curiously, it seems the issue of using Michael Biehn's likeness (or other actors' likenesses) hasn't prevented this series from happening.  I hope this bodes well for a TPB compilation of the original Alien 3 comic series.  I really liked that one.

[Local Trouble]

No.

If I had to take a guess i'd bet they blended things from both drafts.

[Huggs]

No.

So that's what David did to the colonists eh? Poor souls, they're morphing.

And to quote Hudson

"F**ken ay!'

Can't wait for this. Artwork looks superb. I think I'll add buying the single issues as well as my normal TPB purchase on this one (hopefully a nice big hardback edition).

[OpenMaw]

Same, and i'm not a huuuge comic collector. I have a couple of the "greats" like the AVP in TPB, Bad Blood, Predator Fire and Stone, The Mondo comics, and (of course) Labyrinth.

[426Buddy]

I have almost every released edition of every alien, predator, and AvP comic and TPB. 

I am missing some single issues and a few of the UK aliens magazines.

Is anyone else glad that we're finally getting a canon sequel to Aliens?

Indeed! It's a great time to be an ALIENS fan.
