Argh! I was totally getting pulled into memories of my childhood! Where's everything else? Where's the monster rhinos? How'd something the size of a scorpion act as a host? All these questions left unanswered...
I think the biggest crime was that, for some reason, the UK release of the toys didn't have the comics packaged with them: I spent loads of money on these when i was younger, paying that little bit extra as they were imported from the US: by the time they were released here officially, I was only down Drake and the Bull Alien (from the first wave, at least) - I got these for Christmas one year, but they were the UK release, sans comico. Not only did I have to use my imagination to end the story after issue 8, but I also had to fill in the gaps for 2 issues. Needless to say, today those gaps have been filled, and I can sleep a little easier... but those poor colonists who were caught by the giant face hugger aliens...
