Superman vs Aliens With the end of 1979, a bizarre motion picture that was released, turned out to be one of the year's biggest box office smashes. It was the first time that horror and science fiction had been combined to present a real thriller: 20th Century Fox gave the go a head to Ridley Scott (director) and the flick turned an actress into a super-star and a female Rambo: that being Sigourny Weaver. The movie was "ALIEN" and now over twenty years later: the flick has become a franchise. With the close of the year 1987, Aliens and Predator became very popular in the comic industry. Dark Horse Comics required the rights to both franchises and beginning in 1989, the Predator found himself matching wits with the Batman in a comic cross-over between Dark Horse and DC Comics. So popular was the cross-over that it spun two more sequels between Batman and the Predator and now some of those adventures can be collected with Dark Horse back lists available in Previews Catalog or on the Internet. But the real drawing card came in 1996, then writer-artist of Superman: Dan Jurgens came up with a real gem of a DC-Dark Horse cross-over titled "Superman/Aliens". What would happen if the most powerful and noble hero met up with the deadliest species in the universe? Would Superman revert to having kill or destroy a monstrosity such as the Aliens? AND WHAT IF, SUCH A LIFE AND DEATH DECISION had occurred to Superman having found some of his fellow being from Krypton perhaps being ALIVE?? This type of situation confronts the Man of Steel when his true honor is put to the test, pretty much the same in the Biblical situation that confronted Abraham when ordered to sacrifice his son Izayer to prove his loyalty to God until he was halted by an angel. The story has a great moral twist to it. And rather than give away the plot, let's just say that the adventure is still available from Dark Horse Comics. And with the release of Superman/Aliens II: GODWAR this summer, (not a sequel either as writer Chuck Dixon quotes) it really would be well worth the investment to get the first Superman/Aliens to see how this one leads into this current classic GODWAR!!
