Alien: Phalanx by Scott Sigler

[The Old One]

I hope it's good, but I think I'll be reading it digitally.

Heathen!

Should be getting my review copy early next week. So looking forward to this.

[The Old One]

With that cover? I'm a true believer.

Anyone heard about any new Predator/Alien book projects coming up later this year?

[Corporal Hicks]

We've got 2 video game prequels, one for Alien and one for Predator. I think that's all that's been announced so far. With Phalanx coming out soon, I imagine we'll be seeing a new title in there if there is one coming.

23 days to go.

I might try reading Crusade again, even if it is unfinished. I kind want to go back and see what a medieval society handles Aliens. I only read Crusade once so my memory is spotty on the events but I recall a deranged priest who sacrificed people to the Aliens.

Despite having the full run of Aliens mag I've never actually read Crusade

Well since it was unfinished, you probably saved yourself some disappointment. 

You should take a look at it though, see what you think of it.

Got my copy on Thursday night, spent a good chunk of Friday reading. Am about 330 pages in and I'm really enjoying it! I'm not sure it's going to be for everyone though, because it is very heavy on the fantasy/medieval/shields and swords side (duh) so depends on your taste. I'm really like the fresh approach.

[The Cruentus]

To be fair, anyone buying the book should already be aware of its settings. so they should know what they are getting into.

Without spoilering, is this some kind of Alien 3 Ward scenario where they have renounced all technology? Is Weyland-Yutani even in this? Just interested as Sigler says it is intented to be canonical.

Im still missing issue #22, never seems to pop up anywhere. I dont have any of the Vol.1 issues either

To be honest, Volume 1's mostly unnecessary except the final issue (#17) done by Dark Horse. The Trident issues are just pure comic reprints with no worthwhile extra goodies. I only have them because the one copy of #17 I could find for sale was in a bundle of the complete of Volume 1

I'm not sure it's going to be for everyone though, because it is very heavy on the fantasy/medieval/shields and swords side (duh) so depends on your taste.

Yeah, I'm wondering how I'll feel about that because it's not really my thing, but it's not like I was gonna miss out on the new book

[Perfect-Organism]

That is one horrible-ass cover!
