Average Rating:
 Rating: - Not a patch on volume 1I felt compelled to write a brief review of this title. I previously read volume 1 of the Aliens Omnibus, and I was pleasantly surprised by it. I guess I wasn't expecting too much from it, but it got better the more I got into it. This second volume however was a big disappointment. For the most part the artwork is pretty mediocre, even compared to volume 1's adequate artwork. Secondly, the stories are paper thin and repetitive. I guess there are only so many storylines that you can run with in the Aliens universe. Sadly there are no great characters to latch on to. In the main it's just guys blasting randomly at wave after wave of badly rendered aliens. There are three stories in total. Two short ones and one long one. The first two are quite similar; go to the alien homeworld and see your plans to harvest royal jelly go badly wrong etc, and the third story is an 'epic' sapce marine affair which was the biggest disappoinment of the book. I hope the collection of stories in volume 3 turns out to be more in line with the collection of stories of volume 1.
