I wonder who Alec is. A character coming up in Resistance, I guess?

Frosty Venom

Great news!

Mild spoilers in that article for Resistance.

Sounds like.

I'm not overly fond of the idea of the ever-expanding Amanda Ripley chronicles (loved Isolation but it felt pretty self-contained to me, despite cliffhanger ending), but I'll probably check this out just for the hell of it. Still haven't read any of Defiance or the first issue of Resistance yet; gonna just do a big binge read of it soon to see what it is all about.

Really?

Exciting and disconcerting all at once.

Still Collating...

Another one? Resistance has barely started. Wasn't expecting this. I look forward to it and hope that it closes off Amanda's story. It's defiantly interesting to have one writer tackle so many stories, at least he can explore his ideas to the fullest. We'll see how that ends up. Not expecting anything unbelievably great, but I'm excited to see this much media for Amanda and the franchise.

Looks like this might be a stealth ongoing like Aliens was back in the 90s, one mini after another. I'm fine with that.

Not very stealthy though is it?

At least hopefully, with the same team attached all the way through it won't go off the rails.

Resistance is still at issue 1 and they are already announcing a sequel? I don't get where they got that people are that interested on more of Amanda.

Personally, I'd be more interested in getting the backstories of the rest of the Nostromo crew, the Sulaco Marines, and the prisoners on Fury 161. There is so much more in this universe than just the Aliens and the Ripleys.

Slight issue with this is, if you put 'Aliens' on the cover - readers logically expect Aliens in the book.  Those sorts of stories can't include Aliens.
