Marvel's First Alien Series Announced!

Hamilton is just the worst.

But w-we shot you!  D-don't man!  I-I'm not ready man!

No! N-No, you can't! Agh! No! Th-this isn't fair! We made it!  We made-

Aliens must move like sloths when they're inches away from their prey for him to talk this much while being attacked. I guess Johnson is trying to write his own type of Hudson character? But it's just coming off so painfully dumb.

Spoiler

It looked like the Alien had stuck his hand through Bishop's head in one panel too.

I thought the very same thing.

It's pretty sad imo

It's really strange not buying new aliens comics honestly. I guess there are a some DH singles I still need to collect but thats not very exciting when you already have several versions of the same story.

But I'm not going to touch this series. However I am contemplating getting Aftermath since the art looks like it's original again. Although the story sounds pretty lame.

The art in aftermath is improved for sure but they lost me with the glowing alien. I'm gonna skip that one too.

Biggest gripe with issue 4 was the alien pose in this panel:

I keep getting 'Roy Scammell dangling from the roof production shots' vibes from this. That's not a good thing either.

Yeah that just sounds terrible.

The glowing Alien doesn't bother me to be honest. It's a comic, so I'm willing to roll with sillier things there than I would be in a movie (I have no real problem with the general concept of the "Sil" Alpha thing in this comic, either, and gave that the benefit of the doubt), but more importantly... it is actually well drawn, whereas nothing in this current comic is. At least, the one on the cover is well drawn; we haven't seen any interior artwork (or whatever explanation they give for it, for that matter) of the glowing Alien yet.

A preview of the interior art was shared in the thread. The Alien appears, glowing on a ceiling, but the art is consistent with the cover.

Oh, huh - I was under the impression that the second image of it was a variant cover. Just went and looked again and yep, definitely an interior page!

To that, then, my point essentially still stands. The glowing Alien is silly for sure (I imagine it's going to be "radioactive" from the Hadley's Hope explosion, or something equally dumb) but I'm willing to roll with it at least until I see how it plays out in the context of the issue.

[SiL]

It's probably still going to be dumb, but that's kind of par for the course with the comics. And dumb doesn't necessarily mean bad.

[Engineer]

It's too silly for me...

I didn't like it when dark horse went too silly either...

[SiL]

I loved Norbert and Jeri so I have forfeit my right to complain about glowing Aliens.

[Kimarhi]

Stronghold was somehow silly done right.
