COMICS: Aliens, Predator and AVP - Three World War

So what's a graphic novella?
Is that meant to be a regular book with illustrations, or is it like a regular comic?

A graphic Novella is a Novel mixed with Text and Graphic. But more text with some illustrations to show interesting areas of the stories.

  Does Liam sharp do all the artwork in the book? If so, I'm all over it. I've not bought a Dark Horse Alien comic in years; used to collect the good stuff back in the early to mid 90's.

Yes, Liam Sharp is doing the art for this.

Here's a link to a quick interview with Liam about the graphic novella, and a couple of preview images from the book.

The Alien isn't biomechanical enough for me, but it's nice to see the return of the Moebius spacesuits.

Hi folks - I merged a couple of threads as I was getting confused finding pics etc.

Disclaimer - if Dark Horse contact me or the HIVE to request we remove these scans, we will do so immediately.

The reason I (Heavy Metal Spike - not the HIVE) am posting these pages is because I want everybody out there to realise how SPECIAL this series is turning out.

DarkHorse ALWAYS got the AVP stuff - they were (after all) the origin of the idea - be it artistry, plot, suspense and (above all) the ultimate bad-ass predator nemesis - Machiko (yeah - even more so than Arnie!)  

So - without further procrastination - here are the last 4 pages of the 2nd issue of AVP - Three World War

DarkHorse are fans themselves who REALLY feel for the franchise and are NOT just about the money - these guys get it right - PLEASE buy the thing - trust me - you will have ZERO regrets.

Cover art and preview has popped up for AvP: 3 World War #5.

"Whoever said "War is Hell" didn't know the half of it. The Colonial Marines and their Predator allies look to take the fight to the enemy Predators and the Alien horde they control -- but the daunting numbers of the bug swarm may be more than human and hunter can overcome. Their last hope may lie in the synthetic hands of the android David Sereda, who discovers the enemy's bug hatchery and a secret that may stem the deadly Alien tide -- if he can survive long enough to tell the tale!"

Thanks Chris.  Thinking about it, I don't think we put up number 4 either - so here's a simple "so far so good" pictorial list (showing both cover variants of #1)
