3.0

Get to see the original alien script come to live on the pages before the Alien movie we all love and care for was created.

And it's pretty solid.

A lot of the major points stick. The chest bursting scene, the very end, even the initial mission idea and going on to the planet. There's a few major changes, like taking away the Android COMPLETELY which I absolutely loved in the movie but understandable here. Also the designs are way different, and while I think the designs in the movie are perfect, I actually really enjoyed the designs here, slimy and nasty which is pretty awesome. Also Ripley is not here, instead it was Roby, a young Black Woman who hits most of the notes from the movie but a cool difference none the less.

It won't cover much new ground, but seeing it come to life before the movie was formed is pretty cool as a original script becomes a comic. A 3 out of 5.
