Aliens: Fire and Stone #1 Review Roundup

09/24/2014 10:28am
"The art team of Reynolds and Stewart do a great job together here, and it's the aliens themselves who are the visual stars of the book. Each detail of their Giger-derived bodies is rendered beautifully, in a style that at times felt almost reminiscent of Jock–hard lines and scrupulous details. It's a book that will live up to the demand of die-hard fans who care so much about how these creatures and locales are portrayed.” - Coming Up Comics 
"Back to back solid debuts for start of this story arc. I will not ruin it, but I did enjoy how the issue merged the worlds of Aliens and Prometheus. So far, so good for Dark Horse. “ - Hulking Reviewer 
"uilding on the franchise with extrapolation on events, but accessible to those who may not have dabbled within the series before. Keeping well within what Alien is known for. So if you have a hankering for survival horror, this will satisfy you're craving.” - Geek Sushi 
" We can already see elements of the two existing series coming together, and there is enough intrigue here to keep us coming back for Alien v Predator: Fire and Stone and beyond. For now we can only echo some of the final words in this issue, and sense that there is "so much still hidden beneath the surface.” - Newsarama
"Aliens: Fire and Stone #1 is a strong start to something that could be a memorable fright fest.” - Unleash the Fanboy 
“Why do we need an Aliens comic? Chris Roberson and Patric Reynolds capably answer that question in Aliens: Fire and Stone #1.The most obvious reason can be found in Reynolds artwork. The influence of H.R. Gigers artwork on Alien and subsequent films cannot be understated. His illustrations of the xenomorph, distant habitats, and obscene sculptures provided a presence to the films that would linger with audiences and haunt their dreams.” - ComicBook.comDuring a vicious xenomorph outbreak, terraforming engineer Derrick Russell leads a desperate group of survivors onto a rickety mining vessel. They hope to escape the creatures overrunning their colony—but they’ll face horrors both in space and on the strange planet they crash on. Ties in with thePrometheus and Aliens films!
