This turned out really well. My opinion on the Billie Wilks retcon is known so I won't go there, but seeing Hicks and Newt shine through in this story is great to see. I was really looking forward to a full color version of the series, but I found the "Outbreak" collection was a significant let-down. The colors were inconsistent and uncontrolled. If you look at James Cameron's film, the color pallete was completely balanced in every scene and consistent. The same can be said for the sequel to this series by Den Beauvais. That being said, the color translation to this motion comic worked fairly well. I think the black framing added to the effect, and also seeing each frame as an isolated shot helped too. Otherwise, the colored version of the comic was a mish-mash.
Ultimately, this did not diminish my experience of the series as I feared it would. It turned out fairly well like the vision I had in my mind when I read it. Well done!
And yes, Mark Verheiden would make an excellent Aliens film given the opportunity..
