Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Aliens Omnibus Volume 4 collects the Aliens mini-series Alchemy, Kidnapped, and Incubation, among others.
User popularity level:
Rated by buyers -
Aliens Omnibus 5 is a collection mostly based on one-shot comics, a sprinkling of graphic novels, and some trade paperbacks. Some of the best work has come from Dark Horse came in the form of one-shot comics, so it is good to see these not being ignored.
Included are:
Alchemy 1 - 3
Cargo (1-shot)
Survival
Aliens: Alien (Dark Horse Comics 17-19
Earth Angel (one-shot)
Aliens: Incubation (Dark Hose presents 101-102)
Aliens: Havoc 1-2
Aliens:Lovesick (1-shot)
Aliens:Lucky (Decade of Dark Horse TPB)
Aliens:Kidnapped TPB
Many of these have a smuggler connection in them (Kidnapped, Cargo,), others have the early conception of what an Alien might be (Earth Angel), and still others have a few odder variations that make the stories interesting. One I really did not care for is Lovesick - but that is more of an art problem than anything else. Aside from that, it is hard to give any description of a story that is less than a comic in length and I apologize for that. Still, ruining stories is not a good way to go. Also, if you've gone and are researching this Omnibus buy now I figure you may know a thing or two about our little friends and the chests they tend to haunt. While this does not mean you know the story itself, you have an idea of what is going on and you know that Dark Horse was the company that proved Aliens could make money (hence the books, the alternate idea of what the 3rd book should have been in the other Omnibus, and the fact that AvP was ever seen as a good idea).
Also, Dark Horse did not follow comic code - this means they are allowed all the violence they feel is necessary.
If you enjoy Aliens, there is some good content in all the Omnibus selections. Besides, where are you going to find the material at such a good price? With it all being out of print in other forms (especially the comics), one's best bet for some Alien fun is with a little touch of bunching.
Yup - give the gift that keeps on living (even in the void of space).
