I've put off reviewing this graphic novel because I honestly didn't know how to sum up this almost 500 pages volume of pure Alien extravaganza. For any Alien fan is this a must to read!

In this tome you get: Prometheus: Fire and Stone #1-#4, Aliens: Fire and Stone #1-#4, Alien vs. Predator: Fire and Stone #1-#4, Predator: Fire and Stone #1-#4, Prometheus: Fire and Stone–Omega one shot.



The stories are great and adventurers. I came to enjoy the art in all the different stories though it took some time to get used to the new art when one storyline was finished and the next started.



There was a drawback with the volume; there were a lot of people in the beginning and it was hard to keep track of who was who, it got much easier when people started to die. Which sounds crazy I know, but that's just the way it was for me when I read it. Also, because there were so many people in the beginning was it hard to feel sorry for them getting killed because you didn't get to know them that well.



I enjoyed reading it, it wasn't scary in any way, but I didn't expect it to be scary. The Aliens are just not as scary when they are drawn as they are on the telly when you are watching the movies alone in a dark apartment with only your cat as company...



Thanks to Dark Horse Books and Edelweiss for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! ( )

I received this from Edelweiss and Dark Horse Comics in exchange for an honest review.

Wow, this was great!

This edition has it all: four intertwining miniseries, the over-sized finale , and tons of concept art and creators notes. The overarching story is great. Each miniseries naturally connects to the others, and yet still feel apart, unique in their own way. The event was ambitious and innovative, and made great use of the Alien/Prometheus and Predator franchises.

The artist was different in each of the miniseries, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. My favorite by far, though, was the artwork for the Aliens vs Predator, inked by Ariel Olivetti. It has the feel of actual painting much like Alex Ross has used in his works with Marvel and DC.

If you are a fan of Aliens and/or Predator, or just want to know what happened after the movie, Prometheus, you need to read this book. ( )
