Book Review: Dark Horse keeps the hits coming with Aliens Omnibus vol. 3!
Summary: 4 Stars

Aliens Omnibus Volume 3 to me definetly had the most chilling Aliens comics I have ever read! This Omnibus collects these stories: 1. Rogue, by Ian Edginton, art by Will Simpson, (4 stars), 2. Sacrifice, by Peter Milligan, art by Paul Johnson, (4 stars), 3. Labyrinth, by Jim Woodring,art by Kilian Plunkett (5 stars), 4. Salvation, by Dave Gibbons, art by Mike Mignola and Kevin Nowlan, (5 stars), 5. Advent/Terminus, by Anina Bennet and Paul Guinan, art by Paul Guinan, (4 stars), 6. Reapers, by John Arcudi and art by Simon Bisley, (5 stars), and lastly, 7. Horror Show, by Sarah Byam, art by David Roach, (3 stars). There was definently some great stories in this Omnibus, like the chilling Labyrinth, the religion-based Salvation, or the hilarious Reapers. First though, to start of the summaries, is Ian Edginton's Rogue. Rogue is not bad, I just never truly cared for it. The one idea I liked though was the (Spoiler Alert) fact that they made an "Alien King". This story, like sooo many others in this Omnibus deals with, surprise!, another mad scientest trying to use the Aliens for commercial value. The same backdrop idea just wears thin after awhile. The art is the only real good thing, it's pretty detailed, and drawn pretty good too. The only truly story like that is Labyrinth, which is chilling and horrific. After Rogue comes another fairly decent Aliens story, Sacrifice. This one, like Salvation, deals with the Aliens and religion. The art is different than most Aliens comics, so it was nice to see a change. Also, this one features a shocking plot twist. After Sacrifice comes the scariest Aliens graphic novel you will ever read: Labyrinth. The sientest's flashback is gripping, horrific, chilling, and terrifying, all at the same time. Jim Woodring came up with a real shocker. Plus the story starts out an action story, and then quickly changes modes to horror. After Labyrinth comes Dave Gibbons and Mike Mignola's acclaimed tale Salvation, and don't let the art throw you off, this one's awesome. It's also another one that centers around religion, like Sacrifice. After that comes Advent/Terminus, a one-shot that has a nice ending to it. Then comes the eight-page Reapers, which envovles humor, when a group of green armor- claded aliens(no, not the ones where used to) discover what facehuggers taste like. The weak Horror show, after that, just doesn't compare. The Aliens mostly appear in dreams, and the plot gets confusing at points. Not a great way to end the Omnibus, but it's pretty short so I can handle it. The Omnibus isn't short though, and at 376 pages it's well worth the price. Recomended, only for Labyrinth, Salvation, and Reapers though. 4 stars, or a grade: B-.

Summary of Aliens Omnibus Volume 3 (Aliens Omnibus)

The old saying "You can't unbreak an egg" holds true, especially when that egg unleashes an interstellar scourge, the dreaded Alien. But as dangerous and lethal as this species has proven itself time and time again, some men cannot resist the awful gravity of the creatures' potential when merged with human science . . . and arrogance . . . and lust for power. But the cold contracts of these deals with the Devil also bring out the best in humanity, and the awful crucible of struggle against this interstellar cancer brings Man closer to his neighbors . . . and to his God. Dark Horse Comics' critically acclaimed Aliens series set the bar for how the universe of a popular film could be expended through graphic fiction. Aliens Omnibus Volume 3 collects more of these exciting series in a value-priced, quality-format omnibus, featuring nearly 400 story pages in full color. Includes the complete story arcs of Rogue by Ian Edginton and Will Simpson, and Labryinth by Jim Woodring and Kilian Plunkett, and the acclaimed tale Salvation, written by Dave Gibbons and illustrated by the incomparable Mike Mignola.
