Product Description

Dark Horse Comics took the industry by storm with its release of Aliens, a comics series that for the first time captured the power of film source material and expanded its universe in a way that fans applauded worldwide. Now, the first three Dark Horse Aliens series - Outbreak, Nightmare Asylum and Female War - are collected in a value-priced, quality-format omnibus, featuring nearly 400 story pages in full color. Written by screen and television scribe Mark Verheiden (The Mask, Battlsestar Gallactica) and illustrated with consummate skill by Mark A. Nelson, Den Beauvais and Sam Kieth, Aliens Omnibus Volume 1 is an essential piece of the Aliens mythos and a great entry point into the storied Dark Horse Aliens library.

Wilks and Billie?!?
This is a great budget value collection of several of the Alien's graphic novels kicking off with the legendary Mark Vernhieden Dark Horse collection from the late 80s. Full colour, great print, and all stories are extremely good. However, my only minor gripe is the editing that's occurred in the Genocide story. This was written prior to Alien 3 even being announced, and as such follows the post Aliens adventures of Hicks and Newt. However, they have edited the story to be about a girl called 'Billie', and a Colonial Marine called 'Wilks' (despite mentioning many of the other aliens colonial marines by name in flashbacks). I guess this is to incorporate itself into the proper continuity of the aliens series, but come on... Can we not read an 'alternate' story and just enjoy it for what it is? All in all, great, but if you're after pure authenticity, you might wanna track down some original versions of the Vernheiden story!

good book!
this is one of the best Aliens books! art work is good, story is good, but don't buy it brand new as it's not worth £16 as you will breeze through quickly got mine for £7 from the marketplace well worth the money!
if your thinking about getting the other Aliens omnibus don't! cos they are pants! this is by far the best!
