What my take-away from all this is, we need more Denis Beauvais.
By Marvel finding Countdown, I am inclined to believe that somebody over there has their finger on the pulse of the Aliens series and its terrific EU history. If they bring in some of the classic greats like Verheiden, Nelson, Beauvais and the new classics like Tristan Jones, Marvel will something amazing.
Now if we could also get some more tight film adaptations, proper re-coloring (re-mastering) of some master-works, and lots of alternate tales like DH was doing towards the end, I am fully on board.
