Quote from: HuDaFuK on May 27, 2019, 04:43:22 PMThe flashback is crazy and it's what everyone remembers, but it kind of overshadows the other interesting stuff that's going on. Like everything up to the flashback plays right into predictable story tropes, like "the obviously evil scientist who's hiding something", de-mystifying the Alien by explaining things about it, Church literally taking an Alien for a walk and thereby diminishing it, but then once you get into the third issue it starts knocking all of those tropes down. What the scientist is hiding ends up being more f**ked up than anything anyone could have imagined AND it has nothing to do with the Aliens, the demystifying elements of the Alien end up being irrelevant because they only barely work on weakened Aliens in captivity, the very Alien that Church takes for a walk is the one that takes him down, and in the end Church gets away with everything. Church was doing f**ked up human experimentation and getting away with it over twenty years before Alien Covenant was a twinkle in Ridley Scott's eye.Quote from: Xenomrph on May 26, 2019, 12:53:47 PMLabyrinth is the best, and anyone who disagrees will be the first ones against the wall when the revolution starts.
The flashback is the best... The rest of the comic is entirely meh.

Liked the recent stuff, but Labyrinth is my favorite as well...
Simple mad scientist story done effectively IMO, creepy and the visuals are remarkable!

id love an expanded story about a defective alien "protecting" a human. At the same time I totally get why someone would hate the idea.
You can always pull an Alien 3 by having the main character infected with a queen alien to justify it being protective.
The next step is make the queen a stillbirth thus 'defective' and decaying within' the person unbeknownst to the alien. You can add some nutty psychosexual context to all this while the MC is slowly losing his/her mind due to isolation. The crux of the story is the character searching for ways to remove said chestburster knowing it could draw the ire of her guardian angel, while at the same time the planet they're on is filled to the brim with hostile life and the alien is perfectly adapted to wrecking house if need be, forcing this kind of fragile dichotomy ultimately.
You could use the thyroid condition Ann Crispin came up with to explain Purvis' delayed bursting in the Resurrection novel.
