DH Announces Aliens: Dead Orbit (April 2017)

[Xenomrph]

I'm in the process of re-reading this because it didn't do a whole lot for me the first time around... and I'm still not exactly feeling it. I think the thing that makes me roll my eyes the hardest is the "HGK! HGK!" (or "HEF. HEF. HEF.") thing over and over throughout the book, it overstays its welcome almost immediately. And the way Stokoe draws faces reminds me of the band Gorillaz, and that's not exactly a good thing.

[Still Collating...]

I'd actually agree with that. I do appreciate the simple story told well, the detail in the artwork and the nice atmosphere generated, but Xenomrph's points stand with mine as well.

Though I actually enjoyed it a bit more probably, but I don't find it perfect and enjoy other comics a lot more. Still, IMO it's better than half of Fire and Stone, all of Life and Death and we'll see how the new Amanda stuff goes...

For me it is the best comic series, on par with Nightmare Asylum and Labyrinth.

Ya I think it's hands down the best Aliens comic. Got the new hardcover and I love it! The chestburster scene looks so good with the oversized format. Stokoe draws a flawless chestburster.

[The Old One]

Dead Orbit's the best.

lol, I'm re-reading it just to find that, thanks. Didn't do much either for me the first time, some nice parts though, not sure what I missed.

Looks a little like the bouncy Aliens from the Konami arcade game.

Leap for your life! Life is never easy for a frog. https://konami.fandom.com/wiki/Frogger_(video_game)?file=FroggerFlyer.jpg

I like how they spontaneously grow by shooting them.

Also, canon.

Spent a lot of money on that machine back in the 90s.

One does not forget.
