im in the process of getting the complete additional material on the extended universe with the books and comics. which of these do u think r the best read and which concepts, such as alien king, royal jelly, red xeno hive etc r the best and which would u like to see in a movie? I am reading river of pain right now and love the parts where mamma and papa Jorden go into the derelict and find the long since dead xenos and engineers, embroiled in an obvious battle

ill give it a bash. I like the books and comics and def think they should remain canon. not a huge star wars fan but I was really disappointed when Disney dumped all extended universe as canon. I know theres contradictions but theyr comics

find it hugely dissatisfying they said 'nope all that is dumped' and yet theyr probably gna use parts of what people came up with to explain things such as who snoke is. im betting hes a character from the expanded universe. sorry off topic

id like there to be a xeno homeworld, much like the comic with the red xeno and see how different hives co-exist

They didn't co-exist terribly well in that comic.

true, they don't make for very hospitable neighbours. not many street parties in that neighbourhood. still something id love to see on film though. think they went a wee bit too far with the queen mother

not had a chance yet. I got the trilogy (out of the shadows, sea of sorrow and river of pain) along with the alien and aliens novelisations. read the trilogy and a really good read. I got the fire and stone omnibus aswell and that was excellent. going to go online and see what else is available. any suggestions?

don't think so. I have steel egg which is a very good read. the books and comics give so many ideas about how things came together. river of pain took a bit to get going but out of all the books and comics iv read, this book gives me the most memorable aspect of the derelict (don't wanna spoil it though im sure I have in previous posts lol) and could so easily be done brilliantly on screen

yes. in the synopsis, it is headlined 'the first battle begins'. takes place in orbit around Saturn and earth has pretty much split into 2 factions.
