  • Lets take a look at the dark horse comics series for Aliens Labyrinth. We follow Dr Crespi and Dr Church onto a space station where there is some testing on the xenomorph species of aliens. The colonial marines are on hand, but so are the xeno's! This is one of the darker comics that I've ever read on Aliens, so be forewarned!

    I've been a lifelong ALIENS fan. I had all the xenomorph action figures, aswell as all the comics (colonial marines,etc). I remember clear as day when I first found the 4 part Labyrinth series as a kid. This story grabbed you from the start. It's so unique and heads & tails above any other. Imo especially the "flashback" portion of Church in the hive. Damn, it was so good. So real & captivating. Again, best ALIENS comic story by far. Any fan should take the time to check it out. You will not regret it.

      the earth hive series that picks up right after aliens is a great place, but most of the stories arent connected to each other, so its just a ton of seperate stories, so start anywhere really.

      @@scifiexplained I don't know if the comics exist. I guess it helps to have the visuals. :/ Anyway, I hope they come out if they haven't.
