What are some that you like?
>>150596022
I've only read the original AvP and the first two volumes the Marvel reprinted (which includes >>150598016 ) but I like them. Tribes is a bit weird since it's more of a novella than a comic, but I still enjoyed it so I have no complaints. They are greatly exceeding my low standards of "be better than any Alien move made after the second one."
>>150596022The Superman and Batman comics were fun
>>150598184I only remember the Green Lantern one, and not all that well.
>>150598400There was also one for Stormwatch. And that had some interesting consequences.
Aliens: Pig is my favorite Alien story.
Which artist draws the xenomorph the best? I like Mark Schultz and Kilian Plunkett.
I have a soft spot for Deadliest of the Species. It's retarded, but there's some cool ideas and the way they had the alien team up with the human and predator was interesting.
>>150598184Was that the one where Superman already had his no kill rule and met the "not Supergirl, even though she has the same name"?It sucked shit.No one wants to see a neutered Superman deal with Xenomorphs. We want to see Superman eyelaser a Xenomorph's head off and punch them in half.
>>150601322He had for the 2nd one and the one with Batman. Still refused to kill them despite Batman killing them
Are the Marvel reprints good? Heard they had some problems with the Predator rereleases.
>>150601570A couple stories were left out. I think they were Race War, Demon's Gold, and Hell Come a Walkin'.
>>150598016second>>150598184can't agree, maybe it's a Superfan thing>>150601570no ideathe Marvel Aliens stuff has been among the best (What If? Aliens) and absolute worst (Avengers vs Aliens) of the entire Aliens comic books, which is saying something
How much of The Brood was inspired by Alien and vice versa? I've never read any of the X-Men comics, but looking at wiki articles I'm seeing a lot of the same concepts we see in the later Alien movies and comics and I'm wondering who came up with what first.
>>150602432They're pretty much a rip of Alien - didn't appear until several years after the movie came out. It's simply not credible that an alien race of insectoid aliens that reproduce by infecting other species wasn't created to count on the popularity of Alien. It would be like arguing Luke Cage wasn't inspired by Shaft/Blaxploitation, that Iron Fist wasn't inspired by the kung fu craze happening at the time. Total nonsense to even try to claim it.The multi-Alien thing from Aliens is just a logical progression. Lots of Aliens - more scary/exciting than one Alien. It's insectoid so a eusocial hive is implied. But the actual design, the long heads - it's a rip on Giger's design.
>>150602432Claremont did Alien twice, the fucking hack.
>>150603090So was the head crest something that appeared after Aliens? >>150603127Funny thing is the only Claremont comics I've read are Aliens vs Predator: Deadliest of the Species and Aliens: Renegade.
>>150596022I actually quite enjoyed Black, White and Red or whatever it was called. The through line story with the android I mean.
>>150596022Batman/ Aliens, the first one.
>>150598184This honestly work so well.

>>150596022Weirdly enough, Music of Spears. Despite working in the weird cyberpunk-AU-Alien universe it had a charm, different from the usual cookie-cutter stories.>>150603445Black, White & Blood. Utopia is a peculiar story, it doesn't fit neatly into the already frayed Alien canon (the UPP doesn't need generation ships, it's oft-repeated that their Android tech is significantly inferior to the Corporate androids) but it's an incredibly neat little mixture of typical Soviet-era Utopia Sci-Fi ( the ship Forward until the Alien Queen arrives IS a perfect working socialist little world) impacting with pure horror and failing. I didn't particularly love the ending, being one of pure hopelessness and failure. I'd compare and contrast with Mignola's Alien: Salvation, that places the Alien in a pure opposite (a single human Christian faithful running against time contra the socialist ship running for centuries) but manages to have a sad, but almost positij0g2tve ending.
>>150596022dark horese ones 2008-2018Dead orbit and the other tbpsI read it the new marvel ones, but they are so dull, only the one with ice theme aliens was cool due to art and being a sequel. or prequel from the other tpb.
Oh the what if ones are also cool, the dark horse ones and the one in marvel with the bad guy from aliens film.Pretty kino and interesting.
Don't mind me, just sharing this piece whilst we're on the subject...

>>150603090The Brood are a funny thing in that Claremont ripped off Alien, only for Cameron to then rip off the Brood/Claremont in Aliens via the Queen and making it a species similar to bugs.But there are several major differences between the Brood and Xenomorphs to make the Brood stand out as unique. The Brood are 100% fully sentient, can talk normally, have their own society/culture, AND can make deals with and form alliances with other species as seen with their working with Hulk, Death Bird, and the various cosmic alliances.
Are there any as good as Alien Earth?
>>150609655>only for Cameron to then rip off the Brood/Claremont in Aliens via the Queen and making it a species similar to bugs.Alien has a whole deleted sequence where the adult alien is turning the kidnapped crew into more eggs, and those eggs are then to be used to infect others to breed more aliens as part of an alien hive; this would have been well understood by the early 80s when the Brood debuted, because it's part of the novelizationthe concept of insect societies (eusocial insects) in science fiction isn't new or confined solely to Alien (it was part of a Doctor Who serial in the 1970s that noted Britaboo Claremont probably saw); it's part of The First Men in the Moon (1901), A Trip to the Moon (1902) etc etc, but the infection of humans and in particular the long-head appearance of the Brood from UXM 155 onwards, is directly cribbed from Alien
