It would be funny if Fincher publicly got behind this.  :laugh:

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

We already had one.  ;) But I see what you're saying and I agree. Gibson's script was the logical and appropriate narrative direction for the franchise, as of that time. It is too much to hope for an eventual novelization though. I just can't get into comics the way I can novels.

You know, the original Dark Horse series by Mark Verheiden could very easily be adapted as a sequel to this comic...

Indeed it would. At this point, the word Alien may induce some kind of attack for Fincher, all by itself. The poor man.

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.

Personally, I really enjoyed the second. The first was madness but I think the second was actually the best of the other Alien 3 scripts we got and one I really enjoyed. That said, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the scripts so much! It's gonna be great to see Hicks on the page again!

Does it follow Gibsons plot then?

Noice.

Yeah, I much prefer the toned-down second draft. The first is simply too over-the-top. It's Aliens dialled up to 11 with none of the finesse.

That said, I can't help but feel all that excess will be really well-suited to a comic.

I had the same though. Which is why I'm really curious about the idea of series' based on Red or Ward's scripts too. But I'd also like a genuinely good series soooo...I'm expecting we might end up with a blend of the two.
