I have recently started to pick up my old Aliens comics again. Some really neat ones and others..... Well I wanted to know if anyone else here on the forum read them or is currently reading them. What do you think of them? Any recommendations?

I just burned through the Aliens Omnibus Volume 1. Starting Volume 2 now. I enjoy the different stories and like seeing some of the old characters still alive, but some of the stuff they introduce is a little odd.

Good to meet a fellow fanSpoiler:I know it was a wierd twist, but I consider each comic almost a universe of it's own! Canon wise I mean. Like the Alien homeworld and their origins change some much!
I've got the green leather bound slipcased version of the original series. It's a decent read. Interesting because it was printed before alien 3 so it continues the story of newt and hicks. After alien 3 they reprinted them with different names.

My recommendations (and I've read ALL of them) would be...
1. ALIENS: Book 2 (retitled Nightmare Asylum) = FANTASTIC art and a killer story. This would have been a PERFECT sequel to the movie ALIENS.
2. ALIENS: LABYRINTH = Again, AMAZING art (one my favorite Alien designs) and a killer story. As CP said above, the whole story of what happens inside an Alien hive is disturbing and fascinating.
3. ALIENS vs. PREDATOR (the original) = Yeah, I know...but this is what the movie should have been. Great art and one of THE BEST stories ever written for these creatures.
I would also recommend picking up the "one shot" comics. These have, for the most part, surpassed alot of the lengthier comics in story and art.
