Just finished it. Great one, gentleman. Omega's voice is music to my ears. And yes, he participated in Covenant review episode
Not gonna say this comic is among my favourites since I never was big into whole SJ mythos prior to prequels, my main interest lies in Alien itself, BUT I do agree it offers a lot for imaginations to run wild. Whole idea of Aliens being some sort of ancient space plague that is meant to wipe out civilisations, that wiped out SJ race and humanity's next is very intriguing and exciting.
Artwork wise comic is top notch stuff and SJ architecture is beatifully realised. Athough I'm actually dig Engineers' design in Prometheus I also really like this comic's interpretation of SJ, love how large, fat and bloby it looks. I even remember seeing one specific pic of it prior to reading the comic, the one where it has Alien Egg on its chest and thinking it somehow grew out of its body. Unfortunately, even though it makes logical sense, not a fan of how ridiculously large SJ Alien is.
Really like how comic's Xenos look. I vividly remember shot of Alien's close-up with synth blood splashed on (idk,maybe 'cause it looks like somebody jerked off on Alien's face ?). Also there couple of panels with silhouetted Alien getting closer to the viewer which stood out to me as well.
Also, I would like to know whether, you fine fellows, plan on doing any more comic-centered episodes in the nearest future ? I would love you (especially Xenomorphine with how deep and critical he tends to get into this stuff) to review my favourite one, Sacrifice. It has some really neat ideas in it concerning religiousness, what makes us humans and people dealing with extreme circumstances. It also has dope artwork and IMO doesn't get talked about nearly as much as it should've

Thanks, Kradan! Glad you enjoyed it. Honestly had so much fun recording and editing this episode. I really do love this comic.
My intent is to talk about everything over the years. Just depends on the quiet time between current releases and the such! Will add Sacrifice towards the top of the list for when a free slot crops up though! That was a fantastic comic too.

Great podcast guys, have always loved this comic but also agree with the few criticisms.
Salvation is a great story for sure, so that indeed would be perfect for a podcast.

I will take Prometheus over this depiction of the Space Jockey any day honestly, otherwise I really dig the piece.

Yeah. The biomechanical architecture is perfect. If only the Space Jockeys weren't fleshy giants with hair on their heads. :laugh:

Great Pod - about 2/3rds through it. Loved revisiting this one and sadly my collection of graphic novels right now are in storage (thanks to big home renovations) and I so desperately want to re-read this one now.
