Alien Next Door Review: Cute book! Great gift idea! - Cute book! Husband loved it as a gift! If you're an Alien fan, you will love this at any age. Review: Did you catch these inside jokes? - This little booklet is a delightfully humorous romp through the Aliens universe! It's small in format and a tad short on pages, but I believe any Aliens fan will get their full money's worth from this title. If you are new to the world of Aliens, then I would suggest some of the movie books such as "The Book of Alien" and "Alien Vault" as your next -- or added -- purchases, but if you are already familiar with the films this book is worth the purchase. While many of the cartoons require no explanation, others have some fairly detailed movie references subtly sprinkled about. While I’m certain there are even more that a better Aliens fan or more observant reader than I will uncover, here are the less obvious movie nods that I noticed, as well as an explanation of some of the cartoons that some might not “get” right away. This book does not have page numbers, so I hope that my descriptive titles will be enough to clarify which cartoon I’m referring to. WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! I recommend that you read the book first, and then come back here to compare lists. Enjoy! -- Game Over Man: The high scores are by Newt, Ripley, and the Xenomorph. -- Hang In There: That’s Jones the cat giving a little inspiration to our favorite Xenomorph. -- Barber Shop: That’s Ripley in the chair . . . Hint: Think Alien 3. -- Refrigerator Run: Androids bleed white. -- No Bowling Shoes: That’s the Sulaco crew on the scoreboards. -- Mop Time: This appears to be the Fury 161 dining area where Andrews fails entirely in his attempt at “Rumor Control”. A small rubber ball on the floor would have completed this scene for me. -- Batter Up: In case you’re living in an area entirely insulated from Hispanic culture, that’s a piñata, an empty cardboard construction filled with toys and candy that blindfolded partygoers try to break open with a bat or stick. The author even got right the feathery paper used to cover piñatas! -- Coiling Up with a Good Book: “Nostromo” is a novel written by Joseph Conrad in 1904; it is titled after one of the main characters. On a side note, the story takes place in the fictitious South American city of Sulaco—the name of the Colonial Marine spaceship in Aliens. -- Trick or Treat: That’s undoubtedly Newt under the ghostly sheet. -- Space Invaders: That’s the console chair from the Nostromo’s MU-TH-UR mainframe computer access room. -- Vacuum Time: Nothing hidden here—Ripley lending a domestic hand with the power loader was just one of my two favorites. -- Happy MU-TH-UR’s Day: MU-TH-UR is the Nostromo ship’s mainframe computer, and this is the mainframe room. -- Xenos and Dolls: This is from the scene in Aliens where Newt is captured by the Xenomorph. When Hicks cuts through the floor seconds too late to rescue her, all that remains is the floating head of Newt’s doll, Casey. In this re-imagining a helpful alien has found Casey’s body, hitherto unseen in the movie. This is my other favorite cartoon in this book. -- Welcome to Hadley’s Hope: The population of 158 is movie-accurate, and I believe the 2179 date is correct as well. -- Spa Time: That’s the Space Jockey’s chair from Alien. -- Laundry Time: From left to right the hanging laundry belongs to Brett (Hawaiian shirt), Parker (headband), Ash, Kane (post-chestbursting), and of course Ripley. -- In Limbo: That is apparently Lambert from Alien with her cowboy boots though I think they are seen more often in off-set photos than in the movie itself. -- First Day of School: The license plate 5251979 is the release date of Alien, May 25 1979. The bus number 86 is the release year of Aliens, 1986. -- Car Wash: I found this cartoon unusual in that the Xenomorph washing the APC is bikini-topped and thong-bottomed, while the author allows her to run mostly un-garmented throughout the rest of the book. Note that while many may consider the alien hierarchy to be made up of a single queen and many male warriors or drones, the bee and ant societies that the alien hierarchy is clearly modeled after are composed mostly of sterile female workers. The bathing attire is therefore biologically accurate. -- Graveside Visit: This would have made a very appropriate final cartoon for the book, but the author chooses to end it on a lighter note. Thank you for making me smile, Mr. Spiotto.

It is cute, clever, and touching, and gives you a very unlikely affection for a giant bug that wants to put something awful in your chest! I am so glad I picked it up, because I think if you are a fan of the Alien series, or even just H.R. Giger's art, this is a great addition to any collection. I found it instantly endearing, and I especially liked the way the artist paid tribute to the great man whose mind birthed the creature into our culture and our dreams. Far from ridicule, this is a gentle and, at times, even sweet collection of funny little what-ifs involving Jonesy the cat, shopping, and trying to make it as a normal monster in a busy, fast paced world. I really loved this book, and it didn't bother me in the slightest that there are no words.
