Anyone else read the Alien Novels? Been awhile but I remember one of the books (Book 1?) having an interaction with a live Space Jockey. I do remember that the SJ communicates telepathically with humans and that it wasn't friendly to humans but had a common enemy with the Xenomorphs. List of the series/books here. http://www.librarything.com/series/Aliens+Novels

Yeah I do... Have you seen this one? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Aliens-Fast-Track-Heaven-Horse/dp/1595824952 It's done by one of my favourite artists, I only found out about it a week ago. (comics aren't my 'thing' anymore but I gotta buy this one.)

I read some of them back in the day but none of them count as cannon anyway. The cool thing about the Alien comic book universe is that it has no regard for Alien 3 (Newt, Hicks, and Ripley keep fighting the aliens).

@ Pro, no I haven't. Didn't get the best reviews but worth a read. My big point about the Novels is that they come in contact with a SJ and it was not friendly. I am recalling from about 15 year old memory, but the SJ also had an impressive gun that would drop an Alien at a distance in an instance.
