Are they still planning a sequel/reboot that ignores everything after Aliens, or am I getting mixed up with Robocop?

As he crumples to the floor like a sack of spuds, she notices she got an email overnight. It's a job offer from Weyland Corp, about some expedition they are going to fund. She says "nah" and deletes the email. Then she looks directly at the camera with a smirk, as we end on a freeze. Cut to David, alone in a theatre, watching all this on a silver screen. He stands up and applauds. Fade to black, credits roll.

The new Alien comic by Marvel just dropped and it might be changing things up, in a huge way at that if one page is telling. A potential new Queen Alien is shown. I don't mean the type we've know, this is humanoid. Think Sil from Species but in black with the horns from Lilith in the Diablo 4 trailer. Other tidbits It's 21 years after Aliens making the year 2200 which is stated to be the case on a page that has some information, it appears only the two movies are cannon, there have been other xenomoph encounters since then but we only get some tidbits about that only poo poo went bad as usual. There are many Bishop models around doing various jobs, like being a shrink. Remember how Aliens Resurrection had that messed up lab with the failed Ripley clones? Yeah we got an alien one going here along with some actual face huggers. Oh Weyland Yutani you rascally scamp.

Wintermutant posted:I'm pretty sure that her design is based off of this too: Yeah it's definitely influenced by that and other alien/humanish drawings from Geiger. happyhippy posted:Sounds like a Praetorian? A queen's guard.. We see it fully. This was actually humanoid in shape and size, alebit with alien features like two protrusions sticking out form her lower back. Horns again like Lilith from Diablo 4, her whole body is the same black/plate/as the aliens have. She also has yellow cat like eyes. It's very much a hybrid of an Alien and human, question is if it always existed or is a creation of Weyland Yutani. Or maybe it's just a bad dream but can't see them showing it only not to do anything with it. If you seen Sil from Species you got a decent mental image of it, just make it more xenomorph.

Xenomrph posted:How does it make Alien3 non-canon?? On one page there is some information listed for the reader directly, there are the two movie encounters/references to humanity fighting the aliens. The first is the original movie, about the Nostromo being diverted and it's crews tragic fate. The second mentions Hadleys Hope which of course is the setting of the second movie and that the community there was overun. No further movies are mentioned or referenced, instead it jumps to the current year in which the series is taking place 2200 so it's easy to guess that all further movies are considered non cannon which is hardly a bad thing. Think the Halloween timeline splits and that's what we have here. There have been other alien encounters but we have yet to know what they are.

Also, Resurrection takes place in 2381 so that movie simply hasn’t happened yet.

Maybe by the time Mandy finally makes it somewhere safe she decides to take a vow of silence on the whole fuckin' thing so no one else knows. "What happened to Sevastopol? Where's the crew of the Torrens?" "I wish I knew. I bumped my head, can't remember a goddamn thing. Honest."

Much like Star Wars changing things up the comic only mentioning the first two movies seems to me to be a indication this is a whole new continuity. The page to address the reader could have mentioned the other movies, it didn't and I feel that is quite telling. The fact we might have some new human/alien creature helps to point in that direction. From what I could discern the person having the dream of the alien woman and the hive has an alien in him and he's connecting to the wider hive mind. Basically think Jean Luc Picard being assimilated by the Borg and him having met the Borg Queen, this feels akin to that with his visions.

I just read issue #1 of Marvel's Alien. This comic loving sucks. The plot is fine, but the art is so loving atrocious. Every thing is loving ugly, from the people, to the tech, the backgrounds, to the aliens... At least when the aliens are drawn. There's a big two page splash (which features the previously discussed giger art lady and nearly all the Aliens are traced from other art, stills, and literal action figures. I even held up my own NECA Big Chap just to make sure I wasn't going crazy. There's also this loving awful scene of SPOILERS a dream sequence in which a body armor clad person (identified as female) is cocooned upside down, arms behind her back like it's BDSM fetish art. She's facehugged, but there's also a pair of facehuggers grabbing onto her crotch and her rear end. Dream sequence be damned it's the dumbest thing they could have put in the first issue of a major Sci-Fi's franchise arrival to Marvel. Cool head explosion though. And there's a good cat. It survives (I think). *Edit* Sentinel Red posted:Here's a double page with the head of the 'family': This is the picture. Also, look next to the blatantly an action figure alien. It's our old friend, the Hammerpede/penis snake from Prometheus! Mutant Headcrab fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Mar 25, 2021 |

I actually liked the art, though hearing that things were traced etc isn't a surprise, seems to be a fairly common practice sadly in comics. *coughGreglandcough* And yes that head explosions was really something.

After a brief bit of googling, I have come to discover that the artist, Salvador Larocca, just drew himself for the protagonist. He apparently also did the same thing for an antagonist in the Marvel Star Wars comics. -The Artist  -A sketch of himself  -Star wars character Cylo  -Alien protagonist Gabriel Cruz

I mean, if you need to draw a face a lot for a comic, it's really easy to use one that only requires you to look in a mirror for reference.

Sentinel Red posted:Here's a double page with the head of the 'family': I keep coming back to this picture and I always keep noticing more things. In the back on the far left is the only ridge headed, Aliens-style warrior. I'm guessing it's traced from a NECA figure as well, given the weird thinness on it's elbow and wrist that look like articulation points. Also look along the bottom directly in the middle; there's an alien drone in a completely different art style that's being obscured by the photoshopped/traced aliens. What the gently caress is going on with this?
