Yes I know it's a different Derelict but in the first issue it's briefly mentioned that WY went back to the LV-426 Derelict. It's this knowledge that leads that rogue scientist to find the second Derelict. In the course of the story it's discovered that WY smuggled some alien eggs on the main characters' ship in an attempt to sabotage their expedition.

The one at the start? It's one they found floating in space if I remember rightly.

I don't think the Derelict in that comic was the same as the LV-426 one...?

The problem with Destroying Angels is that it's set between Alien and Aliens and it mentions that Weyland-Yutani went to the Derelict and got some eggs, although the movie Aliens implies that they forgot all about the Derelict and only found out about it from Ripley.

I just re-read DOTS for the umpteenth time.  It made a bit more sense.  Though not much.  And some bits (Caryn hooting around in the classic car/ silly in-jokes like calling the Predator ship 'Ellen Ripley') are still just mindboggingly stupid.

Also re-read Colonial Marines.  Still mostly incoherent.

Deadliest of the Species was awesome, though it does wander a bit toward the end.  Everytime I read it, I understand a little bit more of what's going on.  I don't think it make a good novel though, due to it's length.  Then again, with its length, they wouldn't have to add anything else in...

The same goes for the Labyrinth novel/series, though neither really ends up telling you exactly what's going on.

After Xenogenesis, I kinda fell off the Aliens/Predators bandwagon for a while, but Destroying Angels would be badass in book form, I've no doubt.

DOTS sucked majorly. Xenogensis rocked.  ;D

I have to read it again I suppose, the hunter freeing the serial killer was an intresting twist.

did he ? The only kid I could think of was the main character who eventually grows into a adult and has his own family, I don't recall the Predator killing any children. I know the hunter has his eye on the serial killer, but that's all.

Well, looking at it now. I'm not sure, the way he's drawn makes him look like Buddy-Age 9. (This is the frame with "George, no, don't!" as George is bending over the bodies that just came through the roof. The alleged child is the one on the bottom.

I like the summary of Predator: Homeworld though the art isn't too great, but the plot had an ancient Predator hunting 3 wreckless teens, who disobey their laws of the hunt. Brings a original idea to the formula.



*SPOILER*



I remember it was the only one where the Predator killed a kid. It's during the Predator attack on the Sherrif's Office when the lynch mob arrive, one of the bodies that came through the roof.
