When has it happened other than A:CM?
Aliens: Aftermath at least.
Oh that's right. I don't even know what happens in that story to be honest.
It was absolutely terrible and you're better off not knowing
No no, I think I want to know.
I shouldn't, but I think I want to know how stupid this franchise gets sometimes.
Hit me.
Vasquez's nephew is there. He's looking for his auntie. He finds something of her's; I can't remember what it was now... her smart gun or her chest armor or something...
Then there's the glowing white alien they show on the covers. Except it has liquid nitrogen blood instead of acid blood for some reason.
It ends with a hologram of mrs. yutani convincing someone to do her bidding, and bring back "patient zero" who's been in cryo freeze this whole time and still alive carrying an alien embryo. They never say explicitly who patient zero is, but that would have to be newt's father since he was the first colonist exposed. So him being alive and in cryo means they officially retconned River of Pain/Newt's Tale, or the writer f**ked up royally and didn't realize he was contradicting the previously established lore so egregiously.
Regardless, the white alien, patient zero reveal, Mrs. Yutani, and Vasquez's nephew all made for a pretty pathetic storyline that I'd love to forget.
Update: it was Vasquez's smart gun he found.
PS. I like to call the glowing white alien the Caspermorph.
