A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

Best Alien comic books of all time (www.space.com)

For decades, it was Dark Horse Comics who had the rights to both Alien and Predator in the realm of comic books, putting out several series and one-shots that were well worth our time. With Disney's takeover of Fox's empire and all its properties, the opportunity to move both franchises to Marvel (also owned by the House of Mouse) came, and things changed for the first time in forever. So far, Marvel Comics' take on both franchises has been interesting to say the least, and you definitely shouldn't overlook the comics they have put out so far.

They are:

Aliens: Nightmare Asylum
Aliens: Labyrinth
Aliens: Genocide
Aliens vs. Predator
Aliens: Salvation
Alien: Bloodlines, Revival & Icarus
Aliens: Music of the Spears
Aliens: Outbreak
Aliens: Dead Orbit
Aliens: Sacrifice

I never really read any of the Alien books in the past other than AvP stuff. I am going to check out at least some of the new marvel stuff.

It's definitely a good jumping-on point where the sheer amount of Dark Horse output can be intimidating. Plus Phillip Kennedy Johnson is a solid horror writer.
