WOW

[Corporal Hicks]

Looks like he may have used an AvPR head as reference?

[The Old One]

I believe so.

Out of curiosity, has Corporal Hicks ever contacted Michael Biehn about an interview or podcast before?

I'm pretty excited about this book. I just discovered it. Been on an Alien hiatus for a few months.

January solicits are out.

Issue 3 is at the bottom.

Loving the covers for this series.

Yeah, I like the slightly minimalist look of the default covers.

[Russ840]

Agreed. They look very.... prestigious or premium.

Anyone knows which of Gibson's two scripts this is based on?

The full-blown action one or the second more toned down one?

[Corporal Hicks]

From the dialogue it seems to be the second.

Nice. Always prefered it compared to the action approach of the first one.

Also kinda curious what Eric Red's batshit insane A3 script would look like in comic form.

Lol well most of Issue 3 would be taken up with the Zero-G sex scene lol

Advanced review of the first issue: https://iearths.blogspot.com/2018/10/review-dark-horse-comics-william.html

Some spoilers and an apparent difference to the scripts (or just not quite accurate summary) but they really liked it!

One issue in to William Gibson's Alien 3 and we're already hooked in hard!

Gibson's vision presents a sequel that feels much more familiar than what we got on the big screen back in 1992, reuniting three of the franchise's biggest icons for a brand new adventure against big, bad bugs and a seriously shady corporation!

Combined with some extremely strong art courtesy of the very talented Johnnie Christmas, this new chapter of the Aliens mythos feels like going home, bringing back familiar faces and locales that the final theatrical film failed to deliver. In addition, there are some very bold new concepts being explored within the pages of this debut issue - and we're quite excited to see them expanded upon as this brilliant new series moves forward in the months ahead.

Rating: 5/5 - "An extremely strong starting point for what is sure to be one of the most popular titles on newsstands this year!"

From memory it's pretty faithful, so if you've read the scripts you'll have a good idea of what to expect.
