Nelson did some fantastic work on book 1.

I always enjoyed that short story comic he did too, Aliens: Lucky I think?

[SM]

Yep.

Nelson did some fantastic work on book 1.

There are parts where he's drawn in "wrinkles" into the Aliens as though they're guys in suits, which is kind of awesome ("It's like you're watching a movie!") but also kind of weird (most noticeably when the guy is showing the hologram to his crazy cultists).

Nelson was my intro to the world of Aliens comics so I'm biased, but I think his work is spectacular.  It was moody and brooding.  You're right about the way he draws the aliens but I've come around to appreciating the style.

I started reading the original Aliens series with issue 2.  My only previous exposure was when I saw the Aliens film on my birthday.  So I wasn't quite sure how the aliens were supposed to look like in detail.  At first I really liked his portrayal, then with time I realized that he wasn't quite drawing them accurately, especially the ridges on their heads, but I've come around full circle.  I just appreciate that he has his own unique style in drawing them.  His aliens are totally distinguishable from any other artist's.

I think I draw better aliens than Nelson. There, just had to have that said.

I respectfully disagree.

That second "Protomorph" one's excellent tho.

[Perfect-Organism]

You do have talent and you're on to something good.  Keep at it.

Regarding which is better?  Well it's not a question of better or worse.  It's just a different take.  A different style.

Thank you all guys 

I won't be hogging more attention in this thread, back to Aliens: Resistance!

Another peak from Tristan. His variants are going to be amazing! I have high hopes for this series as a whole.

Huh, looks like the carapace is cracked.

Looks like the Alien's getting blown up or otherwise fried.
