Aliens: Kidnapped

Rating:
Summary: A mediocre Alien story at best
Review: Most of the Aliens comic books have been great so far. However, this particular story is not very interesting. It begins when a band of smugglers go in to obtain some eggs from a Queen's nest. When they arrive, they find that their comrades have all been killed, but also entirely stripped of their flesh and muscles, leaving nothing but bone behind. The smugglers intrude on the angry queen, and after a brief scuffle, take one single egg that had been left untouched. There is something odd about this egg however, as it is always secreting a strange substance.

When the egg is smuggled into a resort town on a distant planet, a playboy inadvertantly becomes the host for the facehugger in the infected egg. After he is invited by a super-model to join her on a trip to her own personal resort, all hell breaks loose. The alien egg had a flesh-eating virus. Shortly after the chestburster hatches, it begins to spread the disease all across the resort.

Definitely not the best Alien comic i've read. There is no real action, and the Alien doesnt live long enough to survive past the chestburster stage. The story itself is also not very good. It is a little convoluted and silly. All in all, an Aliens short that definitely doesnt deliver based on the high expectations set from previous Alien comics. This was a 2-part comic book and this book is the collaboration of the two. Of you are an Alien fan and feel that you must own all the Alien comics for collector's purposes, then by all means buy it. If you are looking for a new, interesting and action-packed story like all previous Aliens comics, then this is definitely not worth buying.
