Finally read this whole run. It was... ok. Started off very strong; the beginning lived up to that "Aliens meets X-Files" pitch I heard touted so many times, and Tristan's issues were gorgeous. Writing was really solid, too.

Around the midpoint it really went off the rails, though. Writing got hard to follow and inconsistent, with random dropped plot threads and flashbacks that either killed the pacing or barely functioned in the narrative (and, sometimes, were hard to even differentiate from the current events). The art ranged from just ok to pretty awful. The final issue was a step up from the previous few, but still not of the quality that the first few issues had promised.

Oh well, glad to have finally read this one. I did really like Zula and Davis. Will be starting Resistance soon, in time for issue 2 to drop on Wednesday.

Ya, I think you described it fairly aptly.

I will not be buying single issues of Resistance.  I'm luke-warm invested in the story.  The TPB I will buy for sure though.

I picked up two. This one for Shevvie since he always goes on about it when we chat Defiance:



And this page for me:



It's actually the first thing like this I've brought.

My God, THIS man knows HOW to draw Alien! Very Isolation inspired.

Also don't forget to listen Tristan's interview in last Yutani Podcast. Dude brings some actually interesting thoughts. Especially i liked his take on Aliens despite i cannot fully agree with him.

Cannot help but saying that Brian Glover performance in 3 is great. He's so disgusting and weirdly attractive in the same time.

It's okay, nobody ever does ;)

My thoughts on ALIENS and ALIEN 3 are... not overly popular.

You've made me honor replying to my post, sir!  See me bowing!  ;)

Talking about ALIENS: i love that movie and can forgive its logical mistakes and plot holes but i think that it's really overrated to some degree and that amounts of people declaring how much they love ALIENS and people who are actually into second movie and know for what reasons they love it are significantly unequal.

ALIEN 3? Honestly i cannot remember what were your points about third one and i should re-listen your interview with Clara.

And still: your art is gorgeous. I hope it will make you be pleased that your art acknowledged even in far far away Ukraine.
