Empire's ALIEN COVENANT Exclusive Cover, and Image Scans Revealed!!

[Molecules]

Lololol. So, David with long hair. I pointed out the visible locks emerging from his hood in the first trailer, was totally ignored, thought I'd gone off the deep end.

Also well done to all the people that observed the Paradise race

were proportionally too small to be Engineers, and with their ancient-world tech could only feasibly be another Engineer-seeded, humanoid race.

You are vindicated!

That's definitely a space ship not a crane cause its not touching the ground, its a ship that is hovering sideways.

One thing by now and these new shots show that again, we see only CG creatures at this point. Not sure if it is a reason to worry about the overall quality, but at least it hints towards allot of wide action shots. Not what the franchise is so much used to.

Geez you people are never satisfied.

It's a bad picture, dude. If I'd kept my subscription to Empire I'd probably opt not to get this. It's like a bad fan art of the cover of Giger's Alien, but in the style of the AvPR PredAlien poster.

It's fine for what it is. Empire has always been a hack rag, promotional platform for the studios*. Their covers have always had crap, tabloid-level photoshopping (I clearly remember a pencil-waisted, balloon-busted Angelina Jolie when Tomb Raider came out that was surely some sort of meta joke), and as far as I can tell they've never bothered to hide that they take money for good reviews. The quality of their covers shouldn't even be up for discussion.

*Actually thinking back, Kim Newman's column was good?

It looks like a scorpion's tail

Great photos! The neomorph looks amazing. Does anyone know if it's the baby or adult?
Also that backburster looks painful af

Yeah, but it´s just a sad wasted opportunity for a truly remarkable show off and even more a much needed tribute for the late master Giger.

Maybe Walter learning the flute is too help him be mistaken for David, if needed.

While David would not have cut his hair to match Walter's unless it was for the same reason.

Given its size and relative affinity to the derelict on LV-426 (it isn't round and longer like the original design) if this humongous ship is the derelict in Alien?! It would make sense given the cavernous dimensions of the interior of the ship when Kane travels down the egg chamber. What if, during the bombing raid on Paradise, this ship takes off? Idk, pure conjecture.

[TyrantUA]

Aren't the xenomorph's and bambiburster's teeth look too different for them to be the same exact creature?

[Evanus]

It's not literally a bambiburster, it just looks very similar.

[GQSioux]

Also the *engineers don't look like the one we saw last time*

They seem less developed and more human like? and where is the woman! lol

They look more like the ones deleted from Prometheus. But yes, more humanoid in appearance.

Yup! Exactly what I was thinking.

[TyrantUA]

I know. What I was trying to say is that the creature's teeth are not the same as xenomorph's from the two-page spread.

Those still look much better, in my opinion.

The new ones barely have any prosthetics. They're just boring pale bald dudes!

Yeah, the teeth look different. But it's probably still the same creature.

Hopefully, it's just a bad production still. I'm hoping they have the same kind of skin tone like they had in Prometheus.
