    Sounds like there are some crazy Romulus popcorn buckets coming.

    Saw that yesterday. I love comic books, so I’m always excited about stuff like this. Hopefully this one is more Winter Soldier. 

    Fun to see Harrison Ford (replacing William Hurt). I’m curious how they will work Red Hulk into this (not my favorite character). 

    I’m also interested in seeing Tim Blake Nelson in this.
    Don't know anything about red hulk. The MCU has started to feel so much... like you know... a hard rock band 30 years in and no original members are left in the band... I'm not really interested. I'll watch Deadpool 3 though, because of the cheap references and the "Wolverine is back"- gimmick.


    Funny comparison! I don’t disagree. It’s funny it’s actually just like comic books. They’ll be amazing for awhile, but then the writer and artist change and you have to wait for someone to come along with a really fresh idea that breathes life back into it.
    That’s what made me and my brothers lose interest in spider-man in the mid/late 90s with the clonesaga and stuff. Mark Bugley drawing be damned. And just went back looking for old 60/70/80s issues

    Mark Bagley! Met him one time. He lives near me and was signing at a comic shop once.

    Excited for this. Timothy Olyphant as a terminator! You had me at Timothy (also in the upcoming FX Alien series).
  • @Spiritual_Chaos if you are looking for more Aliens fun, I highly recommend this collection. It says Marvel, but it is collecting the first licensed comics by Dark Horse. These pick up directly after Aliens (published well before Alien 3), and they imagine a story with Newt and Hicks as the main characters. Ripley’s disappearance does get addressed. The first two volumes in this are stellar (unless they haven’t aged well). The third volume is pretty good. 

    They are comics really written for the adult fans of the movies (or this 11 year old back in the day who wanted more Aliens immediately!).
