Marvel's First Alien Series Announced!

[EJA]

There have long been different varieties of Aliens. I don't think it's much of an issue.

If there's some context for this - all good.

It's not exactly exciting me thus far though.

[Nukiemorph]

I'm sure there will be context.

At the risk of getting verbally lynched, I'll say that I'm digging the centipede legs...

That the xenomorph adults take traits from the hosts isnt new but the facehuggers and eggs and the royal lines dont, so seeing facehuggers like this goes against everything I´ve seen in the past so they better have a very good explanation unless they wanna break the lore.

It's creepy in concept though it also looks like more of a hindrance than a help, I'm unsure with regards to the new type, on one hand if it's done with talent I can appreciate it but judging by the rest of the art does not fill me with hope.

It isn't. Although the hooves are slightly comical imo.

[Kradan]

If we're going by Alien 3 AC - does Runner have any hooves ?  I doubt it

[BlueMarsalis79]

It does, only partially hidden underneath the hands, and feet.

[Kradan]

Hmm, I guess it does. Dammit, that's a bad precedence

[Nukiemorph]

To be fair, the facehugger that lead to that alien was born of a queen that burst from a human Hadley's Hope colonist.

Maybe it would have hooves/paws if that human DNA wasn't part of the equation... or even if the human DNA was further back in the lineage.

[SM]

It has toes in Alien 3 - not hooves.

[BlueMarsalis79]

Truthfully it's got both, if you look at the underside of the rod puppet, it's got hooves covered by something resembling phalanges.

If you zoom in on the picture above, it is surprisingly obvious, I'm also sure other examples exist.

Such as on the various renditions.



You can see them clearly here.

Spoiler

It's also startlingly clear to me that the AVP  Requiem head shape's based on this here. That the AVP head's in part based upon.

[close]

So it does have hooves but the immutable Alien form overrides that and grows fingers/toes ontop of them anyway, the truth being in the films, the DNA reflex's just not as dramatic as lots believe.

No ridiculous bull horns for example.

[SiL]

It has toes shaped into hooves. The Alien in the comic just has hooves.

AvPR's head shape was just taking off the dome of the AvP Aliens. It's how ADI did the skull since Alien3.

[BlueMarsalis79]

*Over hooves.

But yes generally speaking.

It's particularly obvious in the bluescreen photo above.

[SiL]

I don't think those are hooves, I think those are part of the puppet.
