Product Description: After a generation of rebuilding in the wake of Alien infestation, athletes from every comer of earth are flocking to the Goodwill Games. But some come with a dangerous new tool: a drug called Fire, distilled from the very essence of the Aliens' body chemistry. The military wants it. The pharmaceutical conglomerates want it. And the only place the essential ingredient can be found is on a world convulsed by Alien holocaust... Genocide is the fourth of the remastered Aliens trade paperbacks! This remastered edition boasts full-color art, an updated script, a new John Bolton cover, and a gallery of Alien art.
What's so civil about war, anyway? Continuing the story from Dark Horse's previous volume, Female War, this story focuses on the Alien's home world. In Female War, Ripley and the others took the Alien Queen Mother to earth. Now, on the Alien's planet, without her, two queens are vying for the title and the planet is being torn apart.
Back on earth, Corporate Billionaire Daniel Grant has created a new wonder drug called Xeno Zip, which makes the user feel immortal, makes them bigger, more agressive, and stronger than ever. However, some people have a severe reaction and inadvertently kill themselves. With law suits threatening to ruin his empire, he needs a pure form of the drug, Alien Queen Royal Jelly. After making a deal with the military, he and several Marines are off to the aliens home world to obtain a fresh supply.
This is a very good offering from Dark Horse. The art is a little rough, but the style is perfect for the Alien's series. The idea of alien's battling each other is executed very well, and it's interesting to see. The human characters are reminiscent of the human heroes in the previous Aliens books without being rip-offs or clones.
Aliens: Genocide takes place between Aliens: Female War and Aliens: Hive, and collects Aliens: Genocide #1-4. It's very interesting reading, and highly recommended for fans of the Alien's movies.
hmm... well this book is pretty good but the artwork is not great the warrior aliens look fine but the two queens are just weird looking [one looks like a dinosaur.]this book isn't that great.it is a neat story though.
Not just any alien book. First off, i'm only on part 2, but already this book is has left my mouth open. The story is pretty much the same " capture the queen egg bring back to earth " deal ,but the breeding part is changed. This company wants this'Royal Jelly' used to make a super drug called xeno zip . The xeno zip is made form alien parts left from the alien plauge that happened in Earth Hive, Nightmare Aysllum, and Femal Wars. The drug is to powerful for humans but if this jelly is found the drug could be controlable. So a new cast of chracters are pulled in with bigger and better weapons to travel to the Alien homeworld. When they get there, they find out that a civil war between red aliens and black aliens has broken out.
When you see the fight sceens with the aliens its amazing. The colors are great, the graphics are great, the story is great, the charcters are great. You should get this novel when you see this page, I mean come on, you alien fans out thier can't tell me that you don't want to see aliens ripping the crap out of each other!
pretty good 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.
This book was great! 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.
