The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Anyone seen these?

Not merely content with just putting comic books into novel format, they've now got 3 original novels with 2 more on the way.

They're decent, but 2 of them... 'DNA War' and 'Cauldron' are written by Dianne Carey. She's a prolific writer to be sure but must she always put gorram sailing vessels (or translate them to space) in every book she writes?

The first book in the series 'Original Sin' was interesting, seeing as it's a follow up to Alien: Ressurection and features RipleyClone, Call and the remaining Betty crew. Best part of that book is apparently Wal-Mart still exists.

Original Sin was recommended to me by a board member, and it's a worthwhile read.

Reading it was like watching Alien 5. :)

I've seen Original Sin in book stores over and over, even on eBay for about $2.........but from what I've heard its not worth it.
If I see an old lady drop it in the street I MAY pick it up :lol:
