Comic Description

Wilks was a space marine with a near-fatal flaw: he had a heart. Billie was a child, the only survivor of a far-flung colony outpost. Thrown together in the last hellish night of an Alien invasion, Billie and Wilks helped each other get out alive. Thirteen years later, Wilks is in prison and Billie lives in a mental institution, the nightmare memories of the massacre at Rim seared into her mind. Now the pair get a chance to be reunited. To go back to that outpost where it all happened, to finally end the business between themselves . . . and the Aliens. This is the very first of the remastered Aliens trade paperbacks! Dark Horse is going back through each of its past Aliens graphic novels and revising images and text to bring the entire story into a single line of continuity with the motion pictures and the wildly popular Bantam novels. Once a black-and-white collection, this remastered edition boasts full-color art, an updated script, a new John Bolton cover, and a gallery of never-before-seen Mark A. Nelson art! Get ready for the remastered line!

Set in a what if universe were Corp. Hicks and Newt make it back to Earth were they find themselves sent strait to the Alien Homeworld by an evil company organisation. Unaware that the Alien menace is not so far away then thought.

Great story, graphics and a visit from the Space Jokey. Definitely worth reading.

The threat has never been so close.

To sumerize this into one word would be: Fantastic. Great art and story, alittle jumpy but still awesome. You will enjoy this.
