Finally was able to sit down and peruse these two series. There was only one new one I found in Genocide, but I also scanned a couple from Earth War. I just threw them all in a .rar file, so just download and extract the 6 images. Hope these help!

Thanks for the scans.  ;)

But my god, that artwork and design is just atrocious. :'(

Anyone here a decent artist? I'd love to see a better rendition of the Queen Mother. No one here seems to care too much for the design.

SM

I don't care for the concept, nevermind the design.

Well good thing it's not in the movie, huh? Personally, I thought it was interesting. Although, I don't necessarily believe that the species needs a glorified leader Queen.

SM

Hence the reason I don't care for it.

You prefer just one Queen per hive, correct? I forget who here is an ALIEN purist vs. ALIENS established hive structure.

SM

I just prefer what we have in the films.  It makes sense, while a Queen Mother seems redundant.  I think the idea of hives fighting is dopey too.

Funny enough, I liked Genocide. The story made sense and I could go with it. But in general, I would think 2 Alien hives in close proximity would probably respect each other's territory, to the point where in Earth War you have them dominating the planet without infighting.

The idea of same-species hives fighting each other is pretty sound in real life - it happens regularly with ant and termite colonies.

Oh yeah no lie there. However, it worked with the story arc since there was a Queen Mother uniting all of them. She dies, recessive gene Alien strain comes into being, ergo Genocide. Personally, I'd like to think that hives are set up across a planet with enough space between them that the creatures would rarely come in contact with other hives. Should that happen, would they have enough intelligence to respect/ignore each other? Or do we have a mini-Genocide?

I liked Genocide overall - but the hive fighting didn't make much sense.

I think the book 'Aliens: DNA War' covered exactly that scenario, but I can't recall what the outcome was since it's been a while since I read it.
