An alternate sequel to Aliens,
By
This review is from: Aliens: Book 3 : Earth War (Paperback)
In this reality, Newt and Hicks are still alive. Ripley, reunited with them, is as take charge as ever. Beautiful and tough, she's poised to take on her biggest challenge yet, the annihilation of the alien threat from Earth, that's almost completely taken over.
Her idea lies with the Alien home world and the Queen of all Queens, who's emitting a signal to call all her `children' back to her. Ripley knows that with all the aliens in one place and enough nukes to eliminate a small planet, she can destroy the aliens once and for all. But things are rarely easy, and soon Ripley finds herself clashing with the two people she cares for most, Newt and Hicks. I like this book a lot. Verheiden's script and story are slightly stilted at times, but they're still very good. Sam Kieth, best known for his work on Image's Maxx, is a brilliant artist who's perfectly suited for Aliens. My only word of warning is that if you've read Steve Perry's Aliens prose works, they mesh and tangle with this graphic enough you feel you've read the same story twice, but since this has Hicks, Newt, and Ripley, I like his version more, personally. This would make a solid addition for any collector of Aliens graphics, but it is part 3 and buying the other two that came before would lend a better understanding, because this just jumps right in at the middle of the action and story.

What a discrace. The art work was terrible and the story was laughable. This Comic series marked the downfall of the Aliens comics that has yet to stop.

Totally skippable.,

This review is from: Aliens: Book 3 : Earth War (Paperback)
Aliens "Book 1" (called Aliens) really worth, a truly and almost perfect comics in b&W, good story (with many surprises), good characters, good drawing (clear and good diagramed).
Aliens Book 2 is a MASTERPIECE, a awesome drawing in a full color, and the story is really good. But Aliens Book 3 Earth War... stink!. Bad drawing (color but not full color like the previous aliens, only a "old fashioned colored comics"), bad story (nobody wants to visit Earths, even for rescue!). IMHO Skip this comics and go ahead for the rest of the serie. This comics give nothing for the complete plot of the story.
