Marvel's First Alien Series Announced!

[Voodoo Magic]

Oh goody... More comics with goofy-ass Aliens being used as punch-bag cannon fodder....yay...

Well, you can't be in a no-weapons maximum security prison forever or have unarmed protagonists forever. Eventually one must appreciate the weapons versus haunting swarm.

...no need to turn the Aliens into cannon fodder shooting gallery target practice or slack-jawed whack-a-mole punching bags for the protagonists though.

Yeah, that's fair. There's a balance. It's important not to go too overboard.

yea, Salvador's garbage.

This may end up being really well written but this guy's art is consistently laughable.

This one is by Greg Land.

I thought the same but backwards Google search claims its Salvador's. Go figure

Some day Land will trace a Salvador piece that Salvador had already traced from a Land piece and the universe will implode into itself.

Any news on the Predator: Original Screenplay adaptation please, do you think it'll be published at Marvel?

[Perfect-Organism]

Earth-426?

;-)

Are digital moving comics a thing ?  A little motion in the action would be fun.

As far as we know it's not happening. It's been written, so maybe Marvel will go forward with it? Is there any precedence for that with Star Wars?

It's a damn shame Dark Horse couldn't even get it out purely in trade or hardcover form before the end of the year. It would have been the perfect compliment to Alien: The Original Screenplay.

Well did they not adapt into comics ADF's Splinter of the Mind's Eye?  That was an alternate reality sequel to Star Wars right?

Actually it looks like it was first published by Dark Horse, but Marvel re-released it as "Legends".

Aliens Legends??

[Nightmare Asylum]

Aliens Legends??

Marvel is doing that already, in the form of the Omnibus.

As far as I'm aware, Marvel has absolutely no precedent of adapting old drafts (or any other non-canon media, for that matter) with their Star Wars comics. Any "Legends" material with a Marvel logo is actually just reprinted Dark Horse material.

Well, DH really did do something innovative with the recent A3 and alt Alien books.  Hopefully the entire industry takes notice.

DH did something similar with Lucas' early Star Wars concept as well, not long before they lost the Star Wars license.

Was the artwork finished though?

The most obvious reasons I can think of for it not coming out was a) Marvel wouldn't let DH publish anything that wasn't already ongoing, or b) the art wasn't complete and they figured it wasn't worth it.

It was the existence of this one that made me suggest doing these to Fox.

I honestly can't remember. I'm sure I talked about this with Jeremy but can't remember what that verdict was. I'll find out when I get to editing that one.

As with Alien, it would have been a wonderful bookend to the Predator Dark Horse era.

[EJA]

It is a tragic loss.
