Billie only wanted what all children want -- the warmth and security of family, the human connectedness that comes from belonging. What she got was a nightmare without end. Dark Horse is proud to present the third volume in the remastered Aliens series, Aliens: Female War. Written by The Mask screenplay writer Mark Verheiden and illustrated by The Maxx artist/creator Sam Kieth, Female War is a revised edition of what was previously titled Aliens: Earth War.

why this book is not so good!,
By Stavros (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Aliens Volume 3: Female War (Aliens (Dark Horse)) (Paperback)
I hated the art in this one. you can see from the start the art is very good, very detailed. But if you look at the last few pages it is very visible that the art has gone sloppy! Ripley's character looks and feels very lifeless and dull, I can imagine her in this comic talking like she's extremely bored and tired. The aliens were very plain, they looked balloony and cartoonish. The drawings past the first half of the book look like sketches, they looked very wobbly and almost as if the artist was rushing them. On the better side the story might interest you as it deals with Ripley's psychic relationship with the Aliens, and it gets in depth with Amy and Burt, the two characters who were featured in Nightmare Asylum. I didn't prefer this kind of story too much, but you may. Overall, horrible art, ok story that might be a good story to other people.

Modified "Earth War",
By A Customer
This review is from: Aliens Volume 3: Female War (Aliens (Dark Horse)) (Paperback)
This is "Earth War" with the names of the principal characters changed. Newt becomes "Billie" and Hicks becomes "Wilks,". Needless to say this weakens the book quite a bit!

Lackluster and Predictable,
By A Customer
This review is from: Aliens Volume 3: Female War (Aliens (Dark Horse)) (Paperback)
Although I am a big fan of this series, I read this and thought.....Someone ripped a big page out of Lovecraft and failed miserably. The characters were the only redeaming part of this book. The dialogue between Billie and Ripley was outstanding. I only wish they would have continued on with the adventures of Billie.
