The Alien Franchise Through the Eyes of Another David by David Gogel
I’ve spent a good portion of my time on this blog and others reviewing, previewing, critiquing, analyzing and overanalyzing various parts of the Alien franchise. I thought I would take some time out and talk about what it means to me. I’ve touched on some of this on the Perfect Organism Podcast (now available on…

Review: Alien Covenant: Origins by David Gogel
During the early days of Alien Covenant hype, there were two books announced: the official novelization of the movie and a prequel novel. Alan Dean Foster crafted a novelization that was arguably better than the movie itself. The prequel novel was originally announced as a story explaining what happened with David and Shaw during their…

Alien: Covenant Post-Mortem Morsels
Here in the States, we’ve reached the month mark since Alien Covenant burst (It’s law I have to use an Alien pun. I have no regrets) its way into cinemas. It has been anything but a smooth ride for Fox and the fans. But it also has been anything but boring. Let’s explore some of…

If you’ve been following closely, it’s been an exhausting week leading up to today but we’re finally here and the journey to Paradise can now begin. I’ve managed to avoid spoilers so…

The Hidden Gems of Prometheus : The Deleted/Alternate Scenes
In the world of science fiction, fandom can be a tricky thing. Everyone is always right and do their best to convince to someone otherwise. It’s very much like politics, except much more friendly (usually). That brings us to Prometheus. Want to get an Alien fan going? Bring up this movie. You’ll either get a…

Aliens Defiance #11 Review
The mission has officially hit various forms of bottom. The Europa is plummetting towards the bottom of the ocean, and any hope for survival is bottoming out. Davis has seemingly sacraficed himself, Zula and Hollis now find themselves in the devious claws of Weyland-Yutani. Unfortunately, the aliens themselves are usually more preferable enemies than…

Prometheus : Life and Death, Final Conflict Review
It all began last March with Predator, a story arc that lasted over a year and finally ends with a Prometheus double issue. A simple survey mission turned into complete and utter madness. Curiosity not only killed the cat, but anyone curious about alien lifeforms and spaceships. Did the year long odyssey have a worthy…

Aliens : Defiance #10 Review
There is an old saying, “No good deed goes unpunished”. That has been the case for Hendricks and her merry band of rebels since their mission against Weyland-Yutani began. After a pirate invasion forced their hand with their cargo, they are now forced to head back to Earth where the Company is waiting. Not only…
