I admit I'm not that fussed about them particularly either, but I don't think that makes them bad by any stretch of the imagination, I think them as quite good. Just not obsessively recreating what's presented on film to perfection.

It's a lot like the way they got depicted in both Sacrifice and Salvation.

Sort of strangely angular and blocky against more detailed and more "fully realised" environments and characters.

I love Sacrifice. Just felt like saying it. That comic doesn't get talked about enough

It's mostly good stuff, it is a pity I can't stand his depiction of the Space Jockey though, otherwise it's got phenomenal art and I'm definitely a proponent of the cult idea but I have to read it again honestly as I don't remember anything else particularly noteworthy.

What's wrong with the Space Jockey in it?  I thought it was pretty much what most fans wanted, or at least closer than we've gotten in times past (or since).

I could have done without the bright colors too.  It's like a video game with the gamma correction turned way up.

It's hair, I guess

The design is okay, but yeah the hair not so much.

It's nowhere near weird enough frankly.



Yeah, no thank you.

Tbh I always thought the elephant trunk look was kinda daft.

It works in Alien because you don't really know what you're looking at but I've never liked the biped designs in the comics.

BlueMarsalis79

Yes, the comic designs suck ass.

I want a creepy Space Jockey design. As a reference:



Without that, I prefer what we got with the Engineers.

BlueMarsalis79

Exactly.

I like the legless design too. The original Space Jockey appears to have no limbs, due to the size of the chair and its huge arms.

And yet nobody had the balls to have it literally grow out of the chair.
