Intrigued, I picked this up at a gaming store down in Orlando. I'm truly glad I did! This is a great art book. Though writing of the various novels and graphic novels has oft sparked controversy, one cannot argue that there exists no good artwork for these horror franchises. This book is full of great pieces!

I admit to being a die-hard fan, it is true, but by any standards these pages showcase some truly spot-on talent. Graphic novel interiors and exteriors as well as paperback novel covers are all shown in this collection. Some art pieces get some nice two-page spreads that you truly don't want to show your grandmother. ;) There are even a few tongue-in-cheek parodies.

Some of the artists represented here include Dave Dorman, John Bolton, Mike Mignola (of Hellboy fame) and lots of others.

If I had to list one (very minor) drawback it might be the captions put to some of the images; a few might have been a bit better. But to be honest, the art was so nice, I barely noticed. I'd recommend this book to any fans of the franchises and any art lovers too. It's truly a nice collector's item.

A well put together book. My only complaint is that there isn't a volume two. Very cool.

Just what I hoped it would be... excellent artwork form different artists and it is Aliens and Predator!! I look through this picture book from time to time because it is that good. Aliens happens to be one of my favorite movies. So, for an Aliens fan, this is a great art picture book.

This book (and others in the series) are full of lots of large and interesting comic book art illustrations of the characters, apart and together. If you like the Aliens and Predator characters and want to see some drawings of them, then this is pretty much your only option. It's full of great pics and is worth going back to again and again, if that's what you're into.

On the downside, this is mostly for fans of the comics (with no movie design artwork or Giger stuff...), and you can't really take the pages out to hang as posters, because you'll ruin the book.

Great as a gift for fans, though, or if you just like looking at nice paintings.
