The overrunning was a bold move to do so early in the ALIENS comic books, but I thought it was a natural progression of the themes in the film. Some people believe that 20th century FOX was only going to allow Dark Horse one miniseries, and the writers felt they should go out on a bang...then it turned into years and years of comics. I'm glad you enjoy the depth of the blogpost...it is one of the reason FWS only has a few updates a month...research and more research. It is a reflection on how I am as a person, and that I am a trained historical researcher...plus, I fucking love ALIENS and these comics! There was so little on these original comics that I felt I had to post something on them.<br />Didn't Sam Kieth draw the MAXX? <br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17218428427067689631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726484495782035142.post-47907586603404094822013-02-05T12:35:58.169-06:002013-02-05T12:35:58.169-06:00Thanks for the shout-out, I really appreciate it! ...Thanks for the shout-out, I really appreciate it! I love how much depth you put into your posts. I'll admit, I've only ever read the versions that have the characters renamed. They're pretty damn confusing... I still can't believe they decided to overrun the Earth with xenos. That was a pretty bold move, and I'm not 100% if I like it. I do however respect that the later Dark Horse Aliens comics kept up the "devastated" Earth premise. <br /><br />I have to disagree with you on Sam Kieth, I love his style :). I think it was the coloring that ruined the look of those comics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726484495782035142.post-71562151447653254982013-02-04T11:00:59.964-06:002013-02-04T11:00:59.964-06:00Nice to read that someone else was reading of the ...Nice to read that someone else was reading of the better comics of the 1980's! It is amazing how far the 3rd ALIENS slid down the sewer when compared to the greatness of the first two...and don't even get me started on that 4th piece of shit.<br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17218428427067689631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726484495782035142.post-91374594820461351262013-02-03T18:22:31.570-06:002013-02-03T18:22:31.570-06:00I was also a fan of The'Nam, Groo and Aliens c...I was also a fan of The'Nam, Groo and Aliens comics.
