DH ‘Announces’ Aliens: Dust to Dust

[Corporal Hicks]

That seems to be a real problem with single creator series.

[Russ840]

Yeah. They have a lot to do but I don't see why Dark Horse just don't wait until a couple of issues are in the bag before they even announce the release date.

[The Old One]

Better off delayed rather than rushed.
God knows I wish Defiance had been delayed and had Tristan Jones do the art for the entire series.

It's not just a case of aesthetics either, I believe the criticized second half would have had a more potent mood and been stronger if it was accompanied by his artwork.

Ah come on

I think Tristan was also contributing quite a lot to the story too so I've no doubt the second half would have been stronger in more than just art if he'd remained on.

Better off delayed rather than rushed.

Oh, definitely. I'd rather wait and get goodness from the end of it.

That sucks. 

[HuDaFuK]

When was the last time Dark Horse released a series with every issue out on time? Lol.

[Whiskeybrewer]

Its getting me worried about Alien 3 now

Fire & Stone and Life & Death were pretty regular.

[HuDaFuK]

True.

Wasn't intended as criticism, just an observation. At the end of the day, I'd rather suffer a delay than get a sub-standard, unfinished product (not that I'm buying these comics, but you understand my drift).

[Ultramorph]

It's a side effect of their strategy of doing single artist comics. One person can only crank things out so fast.

[Nostromo]

Holy crap! This could be the best looking Alien I've ever seen in a comic. Especially the stance, mouth, back, wish it had the smooth head but that's ok. I'm so impressed I'm going to order all the comics, variants and TPB for Dust to Dust. Hope the story is ok also.

[The Old One]

That's the Alien Isolation stance, with the proportions altered to make the best of those designs- that's why it looks, so, so, good.

I've no doubts about the artwork, I just hope it's got a story that compells me to turn the page as much as the artwork.

It sounds to me like

Spoiler

we maybe seeing something to do with an Alien showing some sort of recognition (or more) to the family of its host.

Not sure how I feel about that.
