Blade Runner cameo, too?
why no 'Star Trek vs Aliens' comic series?
- Thread starter Khan 2.0
- Start date
I suspect that has a lot to do with the involvement of John Logan as a screenwriter...without spoiling anything, I could definitely see parallels to the plot of Star Trek: Nemesis as I was watching Covenant.
Janeway was definitely channeling Ripley in Macrocosm, too.
Its been a while, but wasn't the Invasion series kind of similar? I'm pretty sure it was very scary, and the aliens were super creepy.
They decided Aliens wasn't enough are planning to crossover the whole nine yards, right?
They did do a Robocop vs Terminator.
Don't forget that Tatan'atar did fight a Xenomorph in one of the DS9R books. I've often wondered if that means Xenomorphs do exist in the Trek universe, or if he stumbled across one of the Alien movies somewhere in a database and thought the it looked like a worthy adversary.
Don't forget Raytag M'Gora, an escaped Normedian prisoner, in the post-TMP Marvel Comic, #4 "The Haunting of Thallus!"

Or this guy.

That might be it, I just remember that he was fighting a bunch of aliens on the holodeck and one of them was apparently a Xenomorph. It was fairly vague, and I honestly didn't even pick up on it until someone mentioned it on here, after I'd already read it.
That’s a complete waste of time. He has one piece of art from the cancelled comic, and absolutely NO information about why it was canned.
Don’t give this guy clicks.
Unless someone, such as the Tiptons, talks about the cancellation, I doubt we'll ever know. My assumption has always been that one studio or the other had second thoughts and the plug was quietly pulled.
It just occurred to me, when I saw this thread active once again, that Louis Armstrong's rather well-known quote (when he was asked to define "swing") is the perfect answer to the question posed by the title:
"If you have to ask, you'll never know."
Nearly six years ago, . . .

Neural parasites? That's Blastoneuron portalanum carabastosii to you!

The Xenomorph with the human skull carapace is creepy as fuck.
I was thinking about this project over the weekend with the announcement that Dark Horse's Randy Stradley is retiring.

That human skull carapace has been part of the Xenomorph design all along; it was just hidden under the semi-translucent dome. Subtle, but it’s there.
At the time Alien Covenant was just about to come out and Ridley Scott didn't want anything to distract from the films (especially with another sci-fi franchise involved). I always had hoped they just delayed it but it seems pretty dead.
J.K. Woodward has posted some of his completed artwork for the cancelled TNG/Aliens crossover on social media. It's the same art posted above (I should have looked backwards), but he does add this: "It never got past a 12 page script for FCBD and 4 covers, but I really wish we could have followed through."
