Rating: Summary: pretty good Review: Genocide is about a greedy billionaire whose empire is crumbling around him, all because of the horrible side effects produced by his company's widely distributed steroids which are made off the Aliens' royal jelly. Because he has the money to do so, he funds a military expedition to the Alien homeworld so he can get the resources to make his steroid perfect. However, things are going to be a lot tougher for the expedition as the alien planet is in the middle of a civil war(i'll leave you to find out why). A good story with morals based on greed, courage, friendship and trust. These are subjects not commonly integrated into an Alien story, making this book slightly different from the rest. The art was unique, it wasn't realistic in anyway but it was drawn with a lot of effort and the artist's style is very visible. The reason why i took off a star is because the dialogue was cheesy. A lot of Grant's lines, combined with his facial expressions were rather hokey. Get the book and find out for yourself. Grant's character was rather flawed, almost like a stereotypical greedy-man-turns-to-courageous-hero thing. But the original plot, the twists and turns, the entire concept and the overall weirdness of the subject matter makes this a classic in the Aliens library. A lot of other Aliens comics were loosely based on this book, so consider getting it to understand them a bit more. Either way, Genocide is an absolute must for any alien graphic novel collector's library.
Rating: Summary: This book was great! Review: This book had all of the usual stuff you find in alien novels, plus alot more! For one thing, the characters are completely new, so the story sort of resembles a mystery. Also, the main plot isn't to exterminate the aliens or get an alien and bring it back to earth; I've seen that many times before in the movies and also in the books. This time it is completely different and interestingly strange. I won't spoil the surprise for you, but I will tell you that you wouldn't think of it in a million years, that's how weird it is. Another good point of this book is that it has many new weapons and tools that the characters use. However, like all weapons, they can be a danger to the user as well. I cannot think of any parts of the story that were below average. All in all, if I could give this book 6 stars, I would.
