Wake up

newd :^)

You know that mouth-within-a-mouth thing they got going on? That's so they can kiss you twice at the same time.

Why is this "artist" continuing to get work?

Her art looks like demented draft character from Ranma 1/2.

oh boy my first kiss

One went right through a space suit helmet in the first movie. Presumably they could just melt through your arms if they REALLY wanted to.

Don't look at it with my mouth open.
God, why do EVERYONE who sees a facehugger hold their face still and SCREAM with their MOUTH OPEN, wtf?
I know maybe this creature would ultimately force itself into closed mouth, but why all those cretins make it's work easier?

Please post an example of someone who actually knows how facehuggers work and faces it with their mouth wide open. I'm sure it's happened because the Alien property has been whored to hell and back but I can't think of any examples except Newt, who was a panicking little girl.

I don't get why they kill their victim, when they could be using them as permanent incubation machines. It's so inefficient. Have these people never seen an animated japanese porn series? These aliens are such retards.

You know, somehow the alien franchise would benefit of a more urban setting instead of taking place in space.

The juxtaposition between the clean suburbia and a fucked up nest of alien origin is quite interesting.

lol

Impregnate the bound woman. This seems like an easy question.

Why are they so upset? They get free hugs.

>"At least I won't die a virgin"

The issue is that each time they impregnate something, they take in some of their genetic material. If they could reuse incubators they'd turn themselves into intelligent monster girl versions of themselves in like 5 generations that could be reasoned with.

Can't have them be too efficient or the threat solves itself. They have to burn through their body supply before they render themselves harmless.

Because Xenomorphs are really just very elaborate Body Snatchers. Alien in the very first alien had a creepy design where under his head dome you could see faint signs of a human-like skull being inside.

This. The facehuggers only need you to stay alive for the next, like, 1-2 hours. If they have to break you jaw and punch your teeth down your throat to forcefeed your an alien baby, thats fine.

Well guess I'll die

Their whole life cycle is questionable. The queen lays an egg, a facehugger hatches from it, it puts its seed into a host creature, a parasite grows from that seed inside the host, it bursts out, then it sheds its skin a couple of times and grows up into mature size super fast.
It feels like there are some pointless steps in the cycle. Why don't the aliens simply come from eggs instead of requiring such a complicated cycle? Or maybe the queen could give live birth?

I was once trying to draw some kind of porn involving monsters that put their eggs and sperm inside humans, and those humans would later give birth to alien parasites. But then I started wondering what would be the point, and why did the monsters even need humans. It would be much less complicated for them to just lay their eggs or give birth on their own. Lost my interest in that drawing project by overanalyzing it.
The only scenario in which requiring a host makes sense is if the parasite is one of those creatures that eat their victim from the inside as they're growing bigger. I think the xenomorphs do that? So killing the victim as they're leaving it is fine; the host was disposable from the beginning, and they were slowly killing it anyway.

Thats in every movie dude

The primary purpose of the host is DNA theft. They steal DNA from the host to alter their form to one that is hopefully adapted for whatever their current environment is.

What is this comic about?

Scientists built an Android that looks like a xeno so it can safely enter a hive for all their experiments

Hi Jeri!

You do understand they are not actually intelligent? They are insects.

A hive as a whole might be intelligent, but an individual warrior is little more than a machine with complex subroutines for 'hunting' and 'hiding'.

Efficiency. The host is the yolk for the embryo.
Laying an egg costs energy. Less energy in the egg means less energy cost.

Nope. Only in 'Alien'.

So not an 'android' but a 'Xenoid'.

Jeri was the second such construct. The original was Norbert.

God. I haven't read those comics in decades.

Origianally, the facehugger impregnated a human, then the chestburster grew up to become an adult, and then the adult could inject a substance into humans using their tails that would transform them into eggs. This was implied in a deleted scene in Alien but was changed in Aliens. Personally, I've always preferred the original system because it is truly unlike anything on earth.
Remember that the first Alien was pure horror; the sci-fi element was incidental. The xeno may as well have been a demon and it wouldn't have changed the plot.

What are some worth while alien comics?

I keep seeing a dark horse collection of the best stories (I think) at my LCS is t worth picking up? Or should I just 'digital copy' everything?

It doesn't seem very efficient to lay an egg from which a parasite hatches and then that thing lays another egg from which another parasite hatches.
It works for a horror movie, facehuggers and chestbursters are both terrifying. But it's still an oddly complex life cycle.

Even though I have my pointless grievances with some parts of the Alien biology, I still prefer the concept of queens/hives/etc. over that deleted scene. The alien queen was a cool enemy character, and I wouldn't want to lose that part of the franchise.

I don't recall the title of the comic, but there is one where a bunch of Vikings go on a quest to slay a dragon, which happened to be a Xenomorph living in a crashed spaceship. That shit was GOAT.

Wasn't that a The Thing comic?

Their life cycle makes sense if they are not natural creatures but enginereed as biological weapons.

Quoted the wrong guy, meant to reply to this one As for the Alien comics: I don't think many of them are all that good. Stronghold is worth reading mostly for Jeri, and Labyrinth has some sickening body horror that's difficult to get out of your mind (but that's not necessarily a compliment). IMO the best part of Alien comics are the covers. They've got some amazing cover art, but the comics inside are so forgettable.

Nope, it was Alien. I think the name was Alien: Stalker.

I want more Jeri

Digital Copy them. Alot of them are overrated trash. The newer ones are interesting tho and there's a fair few good crossovers with DC and 2000AD knocking about, specifically Batman and Dredd.

>Why don't the aliens simply come from eggs instead of requiring such a complicated cycle?

The whole "mixing up the host's DNA to get unique traits" thing is a good justification.

when you over simplify life history like that, of course you won't be able to see why it makes sense
imagine trying to figure out kangaroo gestation but you just looked at it as "it grows in a pouch getting nutrients from its mother, then movies into a completely separate pouch to get nutrients from its mother, that's obtuse and dumb"
you don't find cause and effect relationships by stripping away context

I too have ""seen"" AvP:R....why is that a vie so shittily lit?

Now you say that, but...

It's kinda hermaphroditic. The queen lays an egg (ovum) which creates a facehugger (sperm) that goes out to find someone to impregnate and get DNA. The same reason you don't fuck your sister/mom is the same reason aliens need a host for DNA.

This right here. A queen is ideally suited to the environment, or else she would have remained a drone. In natural creatures, she wouldn't need a host, she would just be laying eggs and cranking out drones.

God that's so fucking hot.

Long answer is that they're DNA thieves like everyone else has mentioned. The short answer is that they wanted the aliens to rape and impregnate humans because that shit is horrifying.

So what was the deal with this?

user, ovum and sperm are technical terms and I'd caution against using them metaphorically

No there's a Aliens comics where Viking fight a Xenomorph thinking it's a dragon...

*unzips dick

wasn't this hive infected with some sickness preventing them to breed normally?

Didn't this happen in one of the Alien movies too? Or am I remembering them wrong? Not this scene exactly but I remember the aliens using pregnant women somehow.

God that's so fucking hot.

>I remember the aliens using pregnant women somehow.
See

The eggs are more like spores. They can endure for centuries, if not millennia.

Ah! I guess you could say they are 'gene stealers', huh?

Yes, a black fungus.

Yes. It was a fungus. Either in that comic or a later one, they realise leprosy actually prevents chestburster infestations from growing and humanity cured leprosy so they basically use it as a control method.

oh jeez

When the fuck is the rest of this getting translated?

Never. He's a lazy cyka blyat

They're tied up in the pic and generally cocooned in resin in most other circumstances. At any rate facehuggers are generally strong enough to eventually brute force their proboscis down your throat despite your resistance. If they fail that then option two is to simply wait to have a few drones waltz by and maul you to the point of incapacitation. They have no qualms with breaking your limbs or jaw so long as the embryo is implanted.

they are a over the top cruel bio-weapon. space jockeys were cunts.

They're based on parasitoid wasps which definitely do not leave the host alive after leaving the body. Why leave a host alive to potentially harm your fragile young?
>Or maybe the queen could give live birth?
That didn't go so hot the last time that happened.

They're not lifeforms, they're bio weapons. The whole point is to drop a few eggs in a population center then let a couple weeks pass as they eat the whole thing from inside out then die because they can no longer reproduce.

Presumably you'd leave the dead host as food for the newborn.

Weren't they created and not naturally evolved?
I always thought of them as bioweapons deliberately engineered for maximum terror.

maybe his thumb is fucked up

I wish the newer movies could be even half as good as the comics usually are.......I mean Fire and Stone/Life and Death damn near completely salvaged the shot show that Prometheus was

Attached: AVPFaS1.jpg (600x923, 115K)

The entire horror is a rape allegory, your resistance makes it worse.

The dead host can be used as food for the newborn, though this is downplayed since in the movies, the aliens go from snake sized to fully grown in 15 minutes without taking in any sustenance.

Additionally, the original idea for their life cycle was that they wound people, cocoon them, and the cocoon turns into the egg. This was changed into an insectoid matriarchy in the second movie, where a queen lay eggs. The parasitic larvae is also a treat found in certain wasps species, which implant their larvae into living hosts.

Beyond that, killing the host in a violent outburst allows more efficient escape for the newborns, which is potentially a life saving mechanism in a hostile environment. The newborn can quickly emerge and slither away; possibly at a great distance from the initial point of impregnation, allowing the species to travel to great distances with their hosts (they also absorb DNA from the victims, changing their characteristics, which is why Big Chap had a human skull and the predalien had predator mandibles). Re-using the victim only works if the victim is held down, like in the middle of the hive, and it also assumes that the aliens have to go to lengths at keeping them alive for any period of time - feeding the hosts, etc. It's not that efficient.

And speaking of Predalien, that dude could orally impregnate 5-6 alien larvae simultaneously into the bodies of already pregnant women. That scene in the movie gave me a boner, is that weird?

The one in Alien 3 cut itself so its acid blood could melt the glass of the cryopod, allowing it to enter. Those things are suicidal, if they have to be.

>ctrl+f virgin
someone had to say it

>I was once trying to draw some kind of porn involving monsters that put their eggs and sperm inside humans, and those humans would later give birth to alien parasites.

You might want to look into the art books of H.R.Giger if you are into those kinds of monsters. He designed quite a bunch of them, including Sil from Species. The artbooks detail how she could conceive a child from simply sucking a guy off. Her biology was so accelerated for fast reproduction, that the sperm develops into an embryo in the time it takes for her to swallow it down to her stomach.

>But then I started wondering what would be the point
I believe the point should be obvious by now, but in case it is not: because it's fucking hot.

Jesus Christ, how horrifying.

Imagine going to take a piss and coming across this thing just casually greeting you.

Imagine having balls so huge that you want to kill a xeno with a fucking axe.

I've always gone with both. I think the original H.R. Giger stuff had the life cycle where a symbiotic species was used as it's natural host.
And had some sorta culture.

Jockeys found said I like a good bioweapon and took specimens out of their natural culture to bomb the fuck out of whoever needed bombing, unleashing the galactic asian carp that is the xenomorph.

Because he's a god damn genius, that's how. He used that fucked up grip to draw this; Marvel and DC should be in a bidding war to get him to work for them, instead of photoshop tracer hacks like Larocca and Greg Land.

Ridley Scott took a giant steaming lump of shit on the entire Alien franchise with the turd that was both Prometheus movies, so I ignore the engineered bioweapon route on principle. They are just giant space bugs who evolved to get the most efficient survival traits, including being able to function in outer space. The Space Jockey in the first movie was an unfortunate dude who wanted to make some bitchin' good omelettes, but he bought the wrong eggs at the groceries.

Why does Marvel and DC even keep them around like I've seen the argument that they get stuff out quick but all their work is trash

Because hipsters like the people posting in this thread will lap it up for how "realistic" it looks. And the majority of Marvels buyers won't keep reading any series for more than 2 issues after it relaunches every year, so it's not like they'll ever spot it.

Well, jump on one of their faces, obviously.

because hitting deadlines is more important than quality

The Bio-Weapon thing has been a thing since the first movie.

I don't understand that image. Like, how many ways are you supposed to draw a rock head from the side when it's yelling? What's the problem?
