Nostalgia isn’t just reminiscing for what is missed, in some cases it is a wistfulness that shouldn’t be touched, it is the catalyst of return, and whether the moment of the resumption of a tale or a friendship meets our expectations, it cannot be denied that it fuels the longing and the melancholy for what was the original first meeting.

The prospect of losing someone so very close to us is perhaps the most primal feeling we can possess, it consumes us inside and out, it makes us say words we don’t mean and commit actions that are beyond what we would normally consider respectable. To face up to that day when we lose a parent is perhaps even more consuming, never mind if we actually get along with them, whether we love them or haven’t spoken for years, to lose the ones that brought you into the world has a devastating effect, especially on a young impressionable mind.

Some sequels can justifiably be seen as a marketing tool, a chance to take the public down the same road with just enough plot twists to make it feel new and exciting, and too which the money becomes sly as the franchise becomes all consuming. It is perhaps cynical to think of it that way but it is nonetheless an important factor to remember.

There are many ways to exercise demons, especially when it has been an unfathomable monster such as the political system in South Africa which denied basic rights to the overwhelming majority in a country that has thankfully started to reap the seeds sown by Nelson Mandela. It is how you represent those demons in a modern context that makes a film shine.

For the more sceptical age we find ourselves in, where the world has become more polarised in its disbelief’s as it has in its religious fervour, there is surely room for more interpretation of a contentious event than ever before.

Aliens Vs Predator Omnibus Volume 2, Graphic Novel Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Where Volume 1 of Alien Vs Predator gave the graphic novel fans a taste of what could have been after the two of the greatest film monsters of all time reared their ugly heads, Volume 2 takes it one stage further with the same artistic endeavour but with a truly landmark script bursting within its 458 pages that really gets to grips with the idea of what makes these two franchises tick.
