- Nov 24, 2018, 09:49:53 PMNot really EU, but I consider the Alien Quadrilogy set released in 2003 to be a pinnacle of the series.
All the Special Editions were amazing for a fan.
The movies have been a disappointment like 6 times in a row (starting from 2004).

- Nov 24, 2018, 08:24:17 AMThis is what i consider the best of the EU
Games.
Aliens Versus Predator ( PC 1999 )
Alien Isolation ( PS4 )
Comics.
Nightmare Asylum
Labyrinth
Dead Orbit
Books.
Cold Forge
If It Bleeds
There is lots of great material but these that i have listed are, to me, the pinnacle of the EU and I hold them in the same regard that i hold the best of the movies.
Worst
Games.
Aliens: Colonial Marines
Comics.
Xeno Genesis Saga
I would cheat and put AVP Requiem on the list of worst as well.
These are, for me, like really bad fan fiction. Absolute garbage. Lol i hate them.

I would also include the 3 main AvP games.
From the books: Cold Forge and Rogue.
Comics: Labyrinth, Dead Orbit, Nightmare Asylum.

Don't do comics. Can't do comics.
Me too. I can't really describe why though. I just can't "connect" with them for some reason. I have no trouble getting into a book, however.

Alien Isolation - Probably the closest we're ever going to get to the quality and style of the original film.
AVP3 - Loved the marine campaign. If only Rebellion would've handled A:CM.
Books?
AVP: Prey
Earth Hive
Nightmare Asylum
The Female War
Rogue
Labyrinth
Music of the Spears
Predator: If It Bleeds

What about DotS?
In the Worst pile.
Posted by Xenomrph
- Nov 21, 2018, 09:31:23 PMThat's set very soon after the Alien invasion of Earth in Earth Hive (or at worst, soon after the end of The Female War) - it directly references it as if it's recent news.

- Nov 21, 2018, 04:15:22 PMQuote from: TheSailingRabbit on Nov 20, 2018, 12:11:39 PMTo my recollection there really aren't many comics set far in the future compared to the movies. 'AvP: Thrill of the Hunt' and 'AvP: Civilized Beasts' are set circa 'Alien Resurrection', but I can't think of any others set in that timeframe.
A lot of the other stuff is just odd. The comics really went all out with some nasty and weird stuff, especially when they put it far in the future.

- Nov 21, 2018, 08:36:44 AMI hate them. The characters were as shallow as puddles, the Pathogen's a mess, Eldon's contrived,
the artwork is pretty good when it's Predators and Humans but anything
narratively or visually concerning the Aliens or "Prometheus" is dumb as rocks.
At least Mondo was stupid through and through, F&S expects you to take it at face value.

- Nov 20, 2018, 04:31:05 PMBest: Alien Isolation, Alien The Cold Forge, Labyrinth, Monolith's AVP.
Panel To Panel, The Illustrated Story, Tribes, Salvation, Dead Orbit, Dust To Dust, Defiance 1/2.
Middling but worth a look: Sacrifice, Alchemy, Survival, Stronghold, Music Of The Spears,
Glass Corridor, Wraith, Apocalypse, The Original Series Aliens & AVP. More Than Human.
Worst: ACM, Rage War Trilogy, Titan's "OotS, RoP, SoS" Trilogy, Fire and Stone & Life and Death.
