Fantastic news! I really can't wait to see what's in store in the next instalment!

The Alien Predator

I always get so excited every time this thread gets an update. XD

This pleases me.  ;D I'm looking forward to Part 2 soon!

It occurs to me that Titan now has a Comic book division.  I wonder if in the future we might see Alien comics published by Titan.

They are definitely going by the licensing route, just like Dark Horse.

Wasn't it already September? The back of my Predator: Incursion book says September but not an exact date. I checked Amazon recently and saw September 27th. I never knew it was on October at one point.

I have my fingers crossed that's what Dave Dorman's secret project is.

Unlikely, that's Dark Horse's property. Why would they share? Especially when they're just ramping up their Aliens comics output again.

Although Titan did republish Alien: The Illustrated Story a few years back.

Corporal Hicks

I wonder where they overlap. Perhaps they could adapt their own novels?

Perfect-Organism

There does seem to be a distinction with the Aliens and Alien imprints.  Perhaps that is where the line may be dawn in the sand?  In which case, we could see some Alien comics from Titan, and Aliens from DH?  But then how does that explain defiance from DH which really borrows a lot from Alien.  Also, DH did publish the Alien Isolation comic.  But we do see that licenses like Star Wars have moved around a few times.  It is possible.  Fox makes that decision, not DH, or Titan really.  We'll see...

Not really. Titan could republish Alien: The Illustrated Story because Dark Horse never had the rights to it. It was done by Heavy Metal before Dark Horse even existed. All the other comics are Dark Horse.

That may be true, but then how do you account for the "Alien" novels that were published by Titan as opposed to "Aliens" novels?  This is all guess work on our part, but I speculate that there may be some sort of movement afoot to treat Alien and Aliens as 2 related properties that are licensed as separate entities.  Just a hunch.  I may be wrong in this but time will tell..

The Alien Predator

Alien vs Predator: Armageddon is also called "Aliens vs Predator: Armageddon" at the back of my Incursion book, the last few pages that advertise the sequels.

Which makes me confused, is it Alien or Aliens vs Predator for the third Rage War book?
