Dark Horse To Reboot Comic Series

[Xenomrph]

I don't know how recently you read the 2009 comics, but the Aliens and Predator-specific ones were pretty solid. It was the AvP one that sucked.

I didn't have a problem with the TWW art.

AVP TTW was supposed to tie everything together, but it barely did even that; that's what made it the ULTIMATE failure in my opinion.

[Xenomrph]

I didn't have a problem with the TWW art.

Compared to the other two 2009 series, it was pretty shit.

Maybe it's just me, but I agree with SM. IMO Never really seen "bad" artwork in a comic. Probably because:
A: I can't draw, so I'd be a poor judge. They got published, so can't be that bad
B: Each artist has their own style they bring to the franchise. I like some more than others.

Have you read 'Aliens: The Female War'?

Have you read 'Aliens: The Female War'?

Yes. Both the comic in the omnibus and the paperback

What did you think of the art in it?

[PRJ_since1990]

It was a little cartoon-ish, maybe a little brighter than I'm used to but I didn't hate it lol. You?

[Xenomrph]

It's a pretty huge step down in quality from books 1 and 2. Likely some of the worst A/P/AvP comic book art to date, in my opinion.

I would agree. I've seen better, including the prior two story. But I don't hate it either. It's just meh

Aliens: The Female War = fail.

I haven't seen it in decades, but I recall a lot of pink, yellow, mint green, and just general ugliness. And the line art sucked, too... especially compared to what came right before it.

[SM]

It's not just the art that's an issue.  The writing is very sub par compared to the first two series.  And was made worse by the Billie/ Wilks re-write.

Funny enough, I originally picked up the paperback novel at a bookstore (which got me into the literature for Aliens/Predator stuff), Aliens Book 1 Earth Hive. So not only did I not have any artwork but I already had the Wilks/Billie thing ground in by the time I found out this other stuff. To me, the rewrite seems necessary for the sake of movie continuity, since Alien3 clearly went a different direction than the EU comics. But maybe due to the timing of it all, it never bothered me.
