Quote from: tyrannosaurusjones on Mar 28, 2021, 03:47:43 PMLarocca's work is an insult to anyone that actual wants to draw these comics, and a spit in the face to anyone trying to break into the industry and failing. The thing that drives me nuts is I can actually imagine this script being REALLY fun to draw.

Alien gone "meta"...It comes from literally a single line from a fairly obscure comic that came out to cross promote with the first AvP movie in 2004. It's set in the distant future and is not connected with the movie in any way aside from sharing certain lore things unique to that film. But once again, AvP franchise, not Aliens franchise, so those that feel consternation regarding it, in relation to this new comic or any of the 6 Alien films need not be distressed.

Quote from: The_Nostromo_Files on Mar 28, 2021, 11:26:16 PMEvery franchise seems fraught with such problems. Like no-ships in the Dune prequels... I guess retconning "Resurrection" 200 years into the future would've been more difficult?
