Aliens: The Original Years Omnibus Vol. 1 (Aliens: the Original Years Omnibus, 1) Hardcover – May 18, 2021

Now that's a damn comic! 5 stars. So much love put into this and it shows. You just can't beat the classics. So much effort went into this and that too, shows. Buy it. Its worth every penny.

So awesome.

The media could not be loaded. I really enjoyed bathroom visits reading the omnibus.The omnibus has alternate stories of Newt & Hicks IF they had survived, (Newt even falls in love with an android because of her traumatic childhood experience with Bishop), but the Alien 3 movie made those stories non-canon.One story has a different kind of species of aliens that collect the Alien eggs, but when the facehuggers hatched, the alien species ate them for dinner. Sorry, spoiler.The art has a lot of variety.Another story was of an alien race that looked like the alien sitting at that "gun" battery in Alien where they first find eggs. The "Prometheus" movie ruined that idea showing it was some weird elephant-snout helmet that the "engineers" wore.ONLY CON (if you're an Alien fan): THE $80 - $120 price tag. The price fluctuates and you're unlikely to resell it for a fair portion in return.Maybe donate to your local library.The movies are great to re-watch whenever I want and it included the wonderful digital copies too.I bought these Alien items because I bought Aliens Fireteam Elite and it seemed to pump me up for more Alien merchandise.Aliens Dark Descent is a much better game, and awesome. So it Alien Isolation.Congrats to my NC State Wolfpack men's & women's basketball teams each for making the 2024 NCAA FINAL FOUR. Myself the class of 2005.

perfection. its huge and heavy. its well made

The story is very good, SOME OF THEM, 2 are just basic retellings of aliens and alien 3. The ones that have Hicks and Newt aka Rebecca and a lot of surprises were the real change of pace and in a way the Alien 3 i think alot of fans were hoping for. The story while very good suffers from that late 80s, early 90s mass production and some very cheesy amd stale dialog is at points rough but then there is the art!!! And there ESPECIALLY with the Aliens does the stories collected here really shine. From the ones we're used to. To the story in this called hive wars and seeing the different aliens and especially the cover art between issues or when stories end and a new one starts is nothing short of amazing. I enjoyed it but at the panel for panel pretty much aliens and aliens 3 here in comic form is nice but would have loved something original in those parts which you DO GET in this omnibus. Would have given 3 & 1/2 stars if i could.

TL;DR: Buy it.Real review:I have been an Alien fan since I was 12. It was not the movies themselves, it was the Xenomorph. That creature was fascinating and terrifying. So, when I learnt that there was a comic line my head exploded, but unfortunately I never had the chance to get them. Almost 30+ years later I found this collected edition and I cannot be more happy. I was a bit scared about the quality of the printing and artwork given this is old stuff, but honestly this was not the case. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!

Lots of great Alien stories but some that aren’t as good. Collection includes some of the rarer and harder to get comics such as the comics from the Alien toys and Alien3 card series. It has various alternate covers as well.

The best sci-fi horror universe ever! There is none better. The Queen alien is the best Disney princess. Bar none.
