I was looking for more tags to attach from my bookshelves but I couldn't find, which might be a way of saying this is something I don't read much often.Alien invasion (brought by some stupid power-hungry humans), some not-so-dumb humans trying to fight back, so-called aliens use humans as their hosts but good at combat without any training, androids going rogue to save human race, I can go on and on about this could be appealing and intriguing read but not for me...so sorry this didn't work out....

I consider Alien: Isolation one of the greatest things to happen to the Alien universe in recent history since 1979. I consider it the purest type of canon. It terrified me just as the original Alien did way back when I was a kidlet. I had to take long breaks so my heart would stop pounding. It was even moreso elevated for me thanks to the inclusion of Amanda Ripley, Ellen's daughter. Also, that in the majority of the game we only have one single xenomorph made for a thoroughly horrifying experi...

A nice return to the franchise for me.Set between the first and second movie this comic does nothing really new but takes a few of the common motives of the series and provides some good entertainment.Zula Hendricks, an AWOL Colonial Marine that is struggling with a serious back injury that she incurred in her first combat mission, and Davis 01, a rogue android, discover plans of Weyland-Yutani to get their hands on a Xenomorph sample. They set out to thwart those plans and take care of the Alie...

Well finally I can recommend a great alien comic. So this is a story of a woman and a robot working together to kill some xenomorphs. The thing is this is a deep look into a human and a andriod learning from each other and working to protect humanity. It's a interesting look into the mental endurance of a human and her push to protect humanity with her new friend. Good: loved the hell out of the character. Multi complex characters with some major differences that work together. The coloring and

nice one!Very exciting.. lot of tension..On to the next one ;)

Review - https://youtu.be/q5esleD4_s4

Not quite as great as I hoped it would be but still good.What’s it about?Our main character is working with robots to kick xenomporph ass.Pros:The story is pretty decent if you know what to expect. It won’t change your life, it doesn’t give all that fresh of a take on the genre but it’s fun and what most readers want from an Alien comic.This book has frequent bad-ass action scenes. Very exciting throughout.The horror element is great in this. The xenomorphs are done in a pretty bad-ass way.The e...

This is a great idea. A rogue android and a colonial marine find out what Weyland-Uitani have been up to and are seeking out and eradicating Xenomorph infestations before the corporation can gather samples. It starts out really strong but has some editorial issues. It's established that the marine didn't know what the Xenomorphs were but then in a flashback was shown getting hurt while fighting Bugs. The art was good but I often found the panels too tight and the coloring too dark to make out th...

Another issue where there's two separate editions of the same book on GR! :( Here's my original review: Very good! So the Alien and Predator Licenses have always been restricted to just mini series; but now we have a ongoing Alien Series; and its very good! The plot I feel is hard to describe, if I described it, you would probably find it boring; so I feel its something you just have to read for yourself; but I can assure you its not boring! Brian Wood really does capture the feel of the Alien m...

Great addition to the Aliens universe. Art work is good, very good, the story line is new, one that I really enjoyed. Added to my Aliens collection.

A Colonial Marine and a squad of Synthetic soldiers are sent tosecure a Xenomorph for study.Things of course go right to Hell.The Marine and the leader of the Syntheticsdecide that the Alien is too dangerous to be brought back. So against ordersand against programming they begin to hunt the creatures back along the trail of their infections spread through Human space.An exciting series that brings into questionthe difference between following orders and doing what is right.And in the case of the...

This is the best Aliens comic I have ever read! Finally an idea worthy of this franchise. Premise: Cyborg rebels against its programming and teams up with a space marine to exterminate Aliens instead of collecting them for the big bad company. This needs to be made into a movie immediately! My only issue (and this is a frequent issue with Dark Horse comics) was the artwork. Sometimes it was a little too muddled for me to see what was happening and the lines weren't as crisp and sharp as I would

I received this from Edelweiss and Dark Horse Comics in exchange for an honest review. The Aliens universe is my favorite science fiction universe, more so than even Star Trek or Star Wars. I've watched the movies, read most of the books and comics, and listened to the audiobooks. The universe is well-developed and usually well-written. That being said, I'm not sure how to rate this volume. It didn't come close to the normal level of intensity seen in Alien books. It wasn't bad, but I just didn'...

This trade was excellent. I’m on my way to the library to pick up volume 2. This is a high quality Alien franchise spin-off that treads into some interesting places. Big recommend

ARC REVIEW Story: Colonial Marine Zula Hendricks was sent on a mission with a bunch of Wayland-Yultani synthetics. She was just supposed to type in a key to the computer giving over the rights from the abandoned ship over to WY as salvage. What happens next Zula doesn’t remember she was knocked unconscious and when she woke up she was still on board with a handful of the synths remaining. One of the synths in particular is helping her with the designation Davis 01.Davis tells her what happened s...

Volume 1 of Brian Wood’s “Aliens: Defiance” is a decently paced, albeit familiar tromp through the world of ‘Alien.’ Though there’s not a lot here that’s going to surprise anyone who’s already seen or read at least a few stories from this universe, Wood’s character-work – particularly with Zula Hendricks and Davis, the series’ main protagonists – combined with STELLAR art by Tristan Jones, contribute to help make this series feel a bit more fresh than it might have. Not groundbreaking “Alien” st...

Stop me if you've heard this one: The Weyland-Yutani Corporation is determined to get a xenomorph specimen so they can weaponize the species, and they don't care who or what they have to sacrifice to get it. So it's up to a handful of battle-hardened survivors to stop W-Y from bringing these things back to Earth, and potentially wiping out the human race.Pretty much the plot of more or less every story set in this universe, right? So, you might be rightly asking yourself why, then, did I give th...

Wow! This was really, really good. Better than any Alien sequel since James Cameron. Great story that explores the ramifications of the Weyland-Yutani Corp.'s fixation on bringing home a live alien to weaponize. You've got Colonial Marines, space stations infested with aliens, squads of combat drones, including one who has started to hack himself and overcome his programming. This has it all, including some really nice artwork by Tristan Jones. I am very much looking forward to the second volume...

I always felt myself confined while watching the Aliens movies. It's the horror element which never sat well with me. If anything, this comic replicates that effectively. On top of that you have the point of view of the main character and narrator who is just as in the dark as the reader is. Her predicament is soon revealed to be a threat for her life and, even injured, she fights on.Zula Hendricks is a colonial marine working for Weyland-Yutani. While checking out a derelict ship, she and her t...
