ALIENS: FIRE & STONE

The 'Aliens: Fire and Stone' mini-series is an abomination, fusing [films] 'Aliens' and 'Prometheus' into an Anti-Jim Monster of Sorrow. 
So colonists on LV-426 ('Aliens' movie) escape the alien infestation on Hadleys Hope and fly over to a sibling planet LV-223 (sigh). There they encounter more aliens and of course Prometheus Engineer ships (NOT Space Jockeys!) and mutation-inducing black goo. It's a hot mess of stupid.

Dark Horse no longer deserves this license. It's been a long time coming, really.

You should start a Kickstarter fund to pay a hypnotist to get Prometheus removed from your brain !! I'll chip some money in !! Still not seen it and don't plan to !!!

I don't even recognize the comic book as being Alien...humans merging with Xenomorph? Why? It's so far beyond the original concept.

Gotta disagree. I think they are a lot of fun. I have no problem that they are far beyond the original concept, or that it's not following what loosely based formula for continuity Dark Horse had before with their Alien-centric / AVP books.

But, then again, I love virtually all of the films to varying degrees and for different reasons, and don't hate everything after Aliens. :/
