A review by joxertd
Aliens Omnibus Volume 1 by Mark Verheiden, John Arcudi

3.0

I liked it, Certainly a different take on the characters of the Aliens universe. In the movies we never really hear what goes on with Earth, and this tackles that. It was confusing at the start because you meet two characters that come off as Corporal Hicks and Newt with different names but similar storyline. They hint at Ripley's involvement and mention the names of some of the other soldiers (Apone, Drake, Frost and Vasquez) But then later Ripley comes into it talking about Newt and Hicks so it was another story. It was a bit confusing.

I absolutely hated the shifts in the art between stories. There were three books in one. The first two were great. The last one "Female War" was awful.
