In the Alien universe, here's the plan. _Always:_ 1. Fuck the plan. 2. RUN AWAAAAYYYYYYY! 3. Ripley, you got this.

Aliens: Our xenomorphs are not intelligent enough to fly ships. Warhammer 40K: Hold my beer...

The Engineers made me laugh in Prometheus. They were super ripped but had the head and face of a giant baby. Lol

I like how Ridley always squares up against queen Xenomorphs. Like she stay trying to beef.

Rob you're one of the few people on this planet that seem to know a little more about Comics or at least certain comics than I do and I appreciate it cuz you're the one person I look up information for on certain things and it's saying a lot considering the fact I have over 10,000 comics and I've been collecting since I was 9 so keep up the good work thank you one love to another comic book love

Prometheus' name is clever Prometheus means before thought That means, they should have thought before exploring a planet

The image of a xenomorph piloting a ship is entirely too funny.

rob is the best thing coming out of youtube right now!!!😄😃😙

Rob for president he'll give the best speeches

The design of the Space Jockeys was far more interesting and unique then the Engineers. Also, while it sounds like a great idea to capture the Queen Mother, maybe sending a small rag-tag team to the literal home world of creatures that fucked up all of Earth with a small cluster of themselves, was not the most well thought out idea.

to me covenant was a terrible sequel to Prometheus and a slap in the face as a prequel to alien. my opinion anyways

Nightmare Asylum was my first graphic novel and still has a place on my shelf to this day.

i am really hoping you do more of the alien comics or at least the predictor comics

super happy you're doing more Alien comics. Maybe Predator comics in the future? or Predator vs. comics in the future?

Ha! Alien Covenant's ending is an abomination more gratuitous than Prometheus by quantum miles.

I had this books when i was like 12.... my dad had them. I read them abd loved them. Ty for bringin it all back Rab!!! This 3 books should have been the next 3 movies that follow Aliens. And it ends with earth destruction! EPIC

do predator also

Covenant? Great Blend? WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ... Oh... You're serious?

3:16 Ripley's at with the duct tape again!😂

Rob is entitled to his opinion I saw it wasn't perfect but I enjoyed

oh my gosh, finally a KZfaqr I like who doesn't consider covenant absolute trash. I liked it too.

could you make more videos of the rest of the comics of alien ? your videos are great ! keep it up !

Starting a KZfaq channel soon... And honestly I am appreciative to the fullest that you also respect alien Covenant for what it was and what really Scott was trying to do I guess it's the better words to put it for some people... Rob core I am so glad I found you... You have introduced respect for Comics I never had and I appreciate it once again to the fullest keep it up and once again. ...peweeace

*LEMME TELL YOU SOMETHING MAN INTENSIFIES*

"Female war" so basically when the wife meets the ex

I'm really surprised you liked covenant, what with certain things being revealed and all.

Rob, you probably won't read this, but the books and the comics don't have the same continuity, and have vastly different stories from one another. The novels follow a long continuity, after Female War, because in the novel, the nukes cause insane amounts of damage to the planet, but, don't lead to a planet wide catastrophe, because, in the novel, the queen mother is almost too big to fit in a battlecruiser size ship. Her pod is so big, that when they drop her on the planet, it creates a crater of its own, and she just rips herself free, because, again, in the novel, it is shown that she was capable of ripping apart space ships. Also, the Queen Mother's telepathy... was actually causing HUMANS to come under her sway, which is a major plot point the comics don't really cover. Genocide, specifically, follows several years after the events of Female War, and is one of the tie ins, to the rest of the continuity in the novels. There are a handful of non-continuity ones, but it has been YEARS since I read them all, and the new editions are... modified to fit in with Alien 3 mythos. Oh, and Ripley in Female War? Bioandroid (or it is heavily implied she is a new style version of the Bishop line, that was designed to -be- Ripley.)

Great video. I'm on my my 6th Alien novel in a row, I can't get enough. I'm glad someone else enjoys these books as much as I do. I'm reading Alien Phalanx now and it's ok. Nothing juicy yet but I'm only 30 pages in. Anyway, you have a new subscriber.

Take a shot every time he says "what ends up happening here" or something along those lines

It's been like 20 years since I've read this one, but as soon as I saw that illustration of Amy sitting in the hive I knew it was Sam Keith who did the illustration. That man's style is distinct to say the least.

The red vs black war storyline was fascinating.

Rob please do more Alien comic videos, these are great!

I love the artist. He has a dream like style.

I'm glad to hear you like Prometheus and Alien : Covenant, Rob. So glad.

Loved this comic series back in the 90's. Only comics worth reading if you weren't in to marvel candy.

So basically the Queen Mother's guards are the strongest of all xenomorphs?

She is calling them back so that they will do anything to get back to her. Stow away among ships etc. I will buy this comic for myself. Thank you Rob.

Comicsexplained is the best thing coming out of DC rebirth

Spoilers for Alien: Covenant! What if the xenomorph/"protomorph" thrown off the Covenant in the Terraforming Bay landed on a planet and became the Queen Mother? I know Alien 3 contradicts this, but the comics seem better than the last two installments. But I'm proposing this because technically, that xenomorph would be the first/one of the first ones, and from there it could've molted into the Queen Mother after time. They say the Queen Mother was the first xenomorph, and that's the closest survivor I can think of.

Just need a few Spartan Super Soldiers or just John S-117 to beat the Aliens.

Love the alien videos Rob

Rob can you explain the ENTIRE Alien series please? I've watched most of the movies and I can barely make heads or tails of the entire story.

I remember reading some of this stories, some were good some were bad but the lack of research required for some of them that's what killed it for me.

the funny thing is in a novel it was revealed that newt is her great grand daughter

Nice choices for the lastest videos

Sam Keith committed a crime and unforgivable sin when he did the artwork for this comic.

these stories seem interesting to me. going to search for they and read them. please do the other ones too.

I love your alien content!!! PLZ MAORRRRR

11:55 I'm reminded of what happened in the first episode of Gravity Falls when they took out the lead gnome!

Am I realistically supposed to believe that making the planet uninhabitable for 1000 years is easier than just waiting for them to starve

excellent video rob love the fact you are bringing in alien content!

dude, im a fan. I hope that you continue with the Marvel and Alien as well but I would like to hear you cover other Titles because you explain them so well and tell the story in a interesting way..Carry on soldier..

Alien: out of the shadows, river of pain, and sea of sorrow are what we should have gotten in movie form vs promethis/covenant.

Thanks rob , I've been waiting on this for so long

that said these comics rock thanks for doing them, love ya bro. You and Ben rock

For one, read the other comics because hicks and newt being there was reconned and Ripley was an android

I'm accually watching aliens right now as he uploaded it 😂

great series bro

Loving the Fandom Rob, keep it up!

Rob is everything!!! These explanations tho !!! 👍

Only Ripley would find a way to duct tape together a pulse rifle, a flame thrower, and what looks like a freaking rocket launcher. Clearly she has superhuman arm strength.

Robbbbbb!!!!! your the shit for covering the Xenomorph stories!! god am loving your channel even more!! you reading Aliens dead orbit, the current comic run? Great start already! oh man I have a huge fanboy Request?! I would love for you to cover the AvP/Predator stories that follow Machiko Namaguchi ska The Human Predator!! Have great week Rob!Im sure you will because WONDER WOMAN IS OUT!

Honestly I enjoy videos like this I don't see very many channels cover aliens or predator but honestly Rob I'll be surprised if you ever cover the Friday the 13th and the Nightmare on Elm Street comics

I know I said this before... but I hope ComicsExplained replies to me again for the EXTRA good luck! Love ya Rob, videos you upload regardless of "how interesting people find them" are still always amazing. I remember when I first watched the Alien Series. My grandpa actually has the whole collection in one little bundle excluding Prometheus and Alien: Covenant since they were not released when the package was made.

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I didn't know that was this video I just saw it was Comics explained and clicked on it I didn't know what it was until it was started playing this is great

They need to make this series into films or video games.

The three books by Steve Perry are why better at explaining things that are brought up in this video about the comics. The ending does still leave you wanting more sadly...

Thank you for the alien comics videos. I never knew such thing existed before subscribing to your channel. And it actually made me see if there are some other comics based on movies that I did not know about, one of which was the predator comics. If possible, I would like to request a video on those. Have a good day. :)

Alien comics are my favorite thing your doing on this channel

Man, I want to know about the Xenomorph Civil War.

first you say you lost interest in Rick and Morty and now you say covenant was a great movie. oh my heart is breaking, say it aint so Roberto.

lol the capo di tutti capo of xenomorphs

Hope you'll get round to the other Alien comics cause I'm interested and thanks to this I might try and research the Canonicity in both Alien and Predator Comics

This is the 3 rd alien video I watched from this channel i can't find anymore and there is not any playlists for alien comic s . Is there anymore on this channel?

Will you ever do the Promethus Fire and stone comics rob?

The Queen Mothers elite guards are called Praetoren guards, just wanted to put that out there.

glad to hear you liked covenant, everyone else seems bent on hating it, haha

Alien covenant isnt a bad movie. it just ruined ever signle facet of the alien story line. If the aliens were made by humans, by definition, they aren't alien. If the series is called aliens, make them aliens, not Frankenstein. Just call it Frankenstein if its Frankenstein.

I’ve learned the comics are fun but most shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Can’t see how couple people can fight off countless killing machines at a time

I loved covenant one of the best movies I've watched this year also Logan and split.

Rob could you do *Superman/Batman vs Alien/Predator*.... you won't regret it ;)

Yo rob can u make a timeline video for aliens

It's the Ubermorph, Rob. The Queen Mother is Ubermorph

Always wished they made this set of books into movies. Would be great.

Thanks rob for renewing my love for comics after watching your channel for a week I ran out and spent 300$ on back issues LOL. I haven't bought a comic since my daughter was born in 97'

more alien comics explained plzzz

Aliens is Different from alien i wouldn't say its any better other than that brilliant video

You liked Covenant? Be gone from mine eyes! Lol.

I’d really love to see Rob do more none Marvel/DC videos.

Also in the amount of intelligence that each Queen has Doesn't even come close to the Queen mother

Hey Rob,sadly Alien covenant is sinking like a lead balloon at he box office. Ripley didn't kill the Aliens the box office did.

Aliens Prometheus problems: 1:Jockeys become Albino Giant Humans 2:Design ship uneven floors parts of their ship that make movement difficult . 3:Flee from Danger into room full of Bio-weapon Containers . 4:crew take helmet of in Alein World on Alien ship risking exposure to virus ,Mold ,Bactiral ,and microbe that kill them . 5:Man that maps ship get lost in ship does not use his wrist computer or his flying droid to remap spaceship . 6:Biologist pokes snake like creature that doing a cobra threat display . 7:Black goo does to many thing with any explanation .from make xeno Hybrid zombie man ,to a Xeno Squid baby to Kills . 8:Unexplained why the Jocky tries to kill Us humanity off unless you read book or comic . 9:Not protocols in Place to insure crew not infect or carrying unknown bacteria or Mucrobes that kill human race off. 10:bland Characters . Aliens covenant problems: 1:Go to Uncharted world with surveying it to see what the weather patterns like ,with out checking for Deadly pollen ,Mold ,and Microbes. 2:Find out why their no life on planets. 3:explored planet with out seal Suit to insure no biohazard to crew . 4:Following Crazy android into Basement Alone after he had break down for kill monster that killed you crew member . 5:Listening to Android and stick your face near the giant Egg. 6:Not killing crazy robot .. 7:not providing back to Good Android. 8:Not provide proper means of identity for friend robot so that evil does preform the Switch place trick. 9:Not isolate possible infect crew separately . 10:Enter planet through storm jeprodizing thousands Colonist lives . 11:not stoping the captain from jeprodizing the ship . 12: the Ship A.i not have Verification code for different member of crew thous let evil Android begin evil plans . 13:Have Adriod be origins of Xenomorph Species ruining the master of them. 14:Not Paying attention to what were you shoot leading to explosion kills you . 15:magic Black goo that does forty different thinks from Instant Death ,Squid Babies ,to Ear Infection ,to Xeno Man zombies . 16:Android Chest Burst Mini Xeno that look nothing like original .

i feel as though the queens were waiting for the engineers because in the books they did say that they would come back to take over the earth when the marines come back and whoever the victor is the engineers will fight for earth. This is the part where the one engineer talks to newt when they are escaping earth.

Im not sure I understand... in the first series, they found the homeworld. in the 2nd series, they went to some unknown planet( w Gen Spears)- which planet was that anyways? in the 3rd series( call earth war in the comic) , they went back to the same homeworld that they went to in series 1? and in the 4th series( Genocide), they went back yet again to the homeworld...

God i love Sci-Fi comics and movies

Alien Covenant was a mess. A lot of good scenes but overall a mess.

Rob, how about covering some of the alien vs predator comics? god knows those books were better than any of the movies were.

Rob do alien genicide it has two queen mother's in the story

What gets me about Aliens is that it really shines as a horror with scifi elements. As we continue with more and more stories it keeps shifting to a more generic Scifi with horror elements. One offs with stories that aren't directly connected seems to be the best way to stick with the original theme but as with any serialized story people want the story to expand upon itself so they can immerse themselves in the world. Also I doubt would could ever really have a series of true one offs. They would most likely come in the form of non stop reboots like Spiderman and god help them if they ran out of ideas to the point they made a Xenomorph dance like Tobey Maguire.

Ripley was cryogenic freeze. for 57 years and her child was 68.😃
