That is one horrible-ass cover!

The physical copy somehow seems less hideous. It's more muted.

I literally just finished reading it. Loved it! Easily recommended, especially if you appreciate something a little different with your Aliens. Full review up next week.

Somebody fetch me a jedi, I need hicks to be mind tricked into giving me his copy.  :laugh:

If you loved it then it must have really been great. That's promising.

I'm happy to hear it's a good read.  I only wish Titan well with these books, but how can they do well when the covers are so trite?  I think that's 3 or 4 books now with a side head shot of an Alien head in green on black.  The books look too similar.  I just don't understand why some terrific artists are not given a chance to do something better.

For the love of Giger someone with twitter please tell Titan to contact Dorman, Beauvais, Swanland, Tristan Jones, or Plunkett.

Or anyone who can do cover art at this point.

Anyway I can't wait to add this to my collection!

Even Stephen Youll's covers from the DH Press novels were really good.

Glad to hear that it's a different kind of story.

Despite having the full run of Aliens mag I've never actually read Crusade :laugh:

While it had some interesting visuals, the setting made absolutely no sense, whatsoever, to me.

I'm working on my review and I think I'm holding this one up with Cold Forge. I've just got nothing to grumble about with Phalanx. It was nothing but enjoyment.
