Dark Horse Announces Aliens: Defiance

[426Buddy]

Anyone know if Mark Nelson is doing variant cover for each issue or just #1?

[HuDaFuK]

I'd assume just #1. It's part of DH's year-long anniversary cover program. They're giving a bunch of first issues from selected series special variant covers, drawn by classic artists referencing old issues of Dark Horse Presents.

Think it got a mention on here somewhere.

Thanks!

I'm glad he's still working, I like his art alot.

Fair point.  I wonder if we'll see much in the way of corporate fighting then. That combat synthetic looks very Joe-esque. Perhaps some overlap in cheap, expendable synthetics.

Can't say too much, but here's something else to consider about Davis and why he looks the way he does and the purpose he serves... and maybe the name.

Super cool. Your art continues to amaze, Mr. Jones. I really hope the story will match its quality.

Do we have any more info yet on the tie-in short story from the Free Comic Book Day issue?

It's set in the future...

  Thanks, Tristan! 

Some more artwork -

Gulf War vs. Fury 161.

Also, that guy on the right looks like he's holding the Weyland-Yutani assault rifle from ACM, with a Pulse Rifle grenade launcher strapped to it.

I love the caption Tristan posted with this one: "Remember those old games where your character could somehow carry an inordinate inventory?"

They actually did that on an episode of MythBusters recently. 

Dynamic Forces has an interview with Brian Wood about Defiance.

I'm really intrigued by Hendricks. I love the idea of her being wounded and Brian drawing inspiration from vets he knows.

[HuDaFuK]

Yeah, I like that it sounds like she might be a slightly deeper character.

I'm getting more and more flashbacks to Aliens: Labyrinth! This comic is looking simply amazing!
