Aliens: Salvation and Superman vs Aliens

This week our hosts begin a secret hidden mini-series! That's right, folks, it's a mini-within-a-mini. Welcome to Comics Go Hollywood: The Horror Trilogy: Part 1: Aliens. We promise we mostly know what we're doing. Join us as we board some leaky, creaky, and creepy space freighters to discuss the worst pests in the galaxy, the Xenomorph! Topics discussed involve: What makes a perfect Aliens story, Mike Mignola's unbelievable attention to detail, and why Superman shouldn't say Hell.

The comics we will be looking at today include:

• Aliens: Salvation #1 (1993) - Written by Dave Gibbons, Illustrated by Mike Mignola, Inked by Kevin Nowlan, Coloured by Matt Hollingsworth, Lettered by Coen Robbins

• Superman vs Aliens or Superman/Aliens #1-3 (1995) - Written and Illustrated by Dan Jurgens, Inked by Kevin Nowlan, Coloured by Gregory Wright, Lettered by Bill Oakley

You can buy these comics at most good comic stores or ask your local bookstore to try and order them. Alternatively, you can read these comics digitally on the Comixology app via Amazon.
