>>108549481>what's your favourite comic and why?As far as Alien goes, I pick Aliens: Labyrinth. Interesting story, great atmosphere and appropriately disgusting to boot. Dead Orbit gets an honorable mention, since it is good, but at the end of the day it's too similar to the first film, as well as Isolation.
For Predator, I'll go with Big Game, closely followed by Bad Blood.
The crossover with Tarzan was nice too, at least on a concept level.
>what's your least favorite comic and why?I found something enjoyable in each one so far.
>which species is your favorite?I alternate between the two. On one hand, I really like the concept of the Alien as a "perfect organism" and Giger's design is great, even though we've gotten accustomed to it over the years. I like the biomechanical nature and the hive mindset, as well as it's breeding cycles.
The Predator on the other hand has a great design as well, and the Yautja culture is interesting. I also like the tribal aspect of the species and their seemingly dated technology.
I can't pick a favorite so I'll go with both.
>what art style/design for each do you prefer?Giger's original design is perfect as far as I'm concerned, but the Alien Queen is just as iconic. I also appreciate the fact that Ridley Scott kept the alien's design in Covenant closer to the original, with the semi-translucent dome and the visible skull underneath.
As far as the Predator is concerned, you have a lot of room for improvisation with their armor and what not. My favorite in terms of design is probably the City Hunter from Part 2. Largely unchanged from the original, but somewhat sleeker.
NECA has had some awesome designs in their Predator lines too. The blue Scarab predator is my favorite.
>do you own any related merchandise?Yes. Aside from all of the comics I mentioned, I own some figures and a box set collection of the films from each franchise.
>was AVP a mistake?It's a really cool concept, although I view it as it's own contained canon.
