So I was going through some upcoming/currently available comics and I came across this:

https://www.darkhorse.com/Comics/3002-524/William-Gibsons-Alien-3-1

I was never aware that there was a completely different vision for Alien 3 out there...and I for one an quite excited to check this out.
Never really liked Alien 3, and felt that good characters were completely disrespected in order to shave it "back to basics".

So I've put this one on my standing list along with an extra copy of each issue as a gift for my brother, who feels largely the same about Alien 3 as I do.

Just thought I'd show you guys in the even there's any enthusiasts around.

I heard about this but I really don't like Alien 3. It's just Alien and Aliens to me. That's the series.

Then this would be perfect for you.
It's not Alien 3 in anything other than name.
This was a whole other movie/script this guy pitched back in the day, that didn't get made for one reason or another...

I'm buying this *because* I didn't like Alien3.

Aliens 3 was too dark what with all the rapists and such. Who cares if they get offed. And why were they all Brits? What are you saying about us?

Cos it's true.

I read though this when it was announced.

It didn't seem on par with Alien and Aliens. I guess better than what we got with Alien 3 though.
