The Cold Forge VS Nightmare's Asylum

[Kradan]

Simple: which novel you think is better? By the way, i was inspired by this quote from Hick's review for TCF:

The last time I immediately wanted to re-read an Alien novel again was the first time I ever read Aliens: Earth Hive and Nightmare Asylum

Personally, i'll give my vote for NA. Don't get me wrong: TCF is solid really well-written Alien novel maybe the most well-written so far. But i liked story and characters in NA more. I liked that concept of isolated planet where crazy military dude can do whatever he wants to do and punish people by death for the smallest guiltiness. I f**king love general Spears character, i love how he always managed to be one step further than protagonists.

Cold Forge.  By a fair margin.

I'm waiting for Old One 

[The Old One]

Cold Forge.  By a fair margin.

[Nightmare Asylum]

Don't let my name fool you. The Cold Forge easily takes this one.

[Samhain13]

Haven't read Nightmare's Asylum in a long time. Will vote after rereading it.

[Still Collating...]

Really liked Nightmare Asylum, but IMO The Cold Forge is a lot better.

NA is one of my favorite comics but the novel not so much. TCF is much better.

[Local Trouble]

Would TCF make a good comic?

[426Buddy]

I don't know, maybe.

[Corporal Hicks]

I love Nightmare Asylum - both the novel and the comic - but it's easily The Cold Forge for me. TCF is on a completely different level.

Cold Forge.

For me Cold Forge is as Alien is the Movies, for the books.  Simply the best the medium has to offer.

So this makes me excited to read Cold Forge. I have it but haven't had a chance to read it yet. Looking forward to it now

Likewise, but I have a feeling I'm going to find it overhyped

[Kradan]

Overhyped...That's the word i was looking for.
