Aliens vs Predator vs Terminator - need I say more?
The Terminators, defeated centuries before, are attempting to make a comeback by making unstoppable Alien/Terminator hybrids. However, two forces stand in their way: the Human freedom fighters led by the Android Call and the Predators, who sense the dangers in the hybridisation. Thrown into this is Ellen Ripley, an Alien hybrid herself, who is trying to find her place in a strange galaxy.
The art, story and characters in this book are all truly fantastic. Unlike some similar books, this one captures the natures of the main characters exactly; the Aliens are a force of nature, the Predators are a brutal but honorable society, the Terminators are unswerving from their mission.
Bringing back Call and Ripley from 'Alien Resurrection' was another great idea, as their 'non-humans saving the human race' highlights the core of the story.
The battle with the Predators, Ripley and the Aliens versus the hybrid Terminators was one of the best bits in any graphic novel.
Buy this book. Other crossovers pale in comparison to the big Sci-fi/horror three.
Too many faults, not enough details.
Okay, you've seen the films, played the games, read the other books, so you think 'wow! three in one.' Well, maybe... if you don't dwell on any of it too much.
The general plot is simple, if a tad daft; ie Skynet lost, so it built a few 'special' terminators to hide away for a long time and blend in until 'the time is right'. Still with me? Good, 'cause this is the story-stretching part. jump ahead about a thousand years give or take, and the Ripley-8 clone
Bottom line, if you're a Terminator fan, the best you'll get is a page or two, with a few more of a recorded message from John Connor. The wierd new terminators are just that, 'wierd'.
Aliens, likewise, they barely pop up except as 'above'.
The Pred's, well they're a wierd colour and they're uglier than usual too...
So unless you really want to find out what happened to Ripley and/or Call, who apparently went their separate ways, which, in itself doesn't seem right...
ok story - flaws - artwork didnt suit
i was really looking forward to reading this - -yes it is all three rolled into one -- however it fails on many levels - -ok maybe the artwork is relative to the individual - however that doesnt excuse it being completely bright and open the whole time - horror is scary because things are hidden etc - there are shadows - there's no shadows in this - -there no mystery or suspense -- the plot and storyline are mediocre - -there is also inconsistencies within the book - - such as how the hybrid terminators can rejuvenate 'skin' - this isnt possible by using the resources they do - the aliens only appear marginally at the end - and its a welcomed break from the stumbling story - i only wished they came and killed everything earlier!! this was an amateur and disappointing attempt......
