New Spider-Alien piece

Post by X-O MattOwar »

Number 3 in the series. I had to do a Spider Alien even though as enemies go these guys were the keystone cops. They tranverse space, create the X-O armor, and infiltrate the human race yet can't win a fist fight against a blind kangaroo. I guess that makes them Valiants answer to Stormtroopers.

Sweet. It's a Spider Alien drawn by Bruce Timm! :)

Spider Aliens actually had a bit of menace to them when Shooter wrote them. I could never figure out there purpose after that. They would show up in nearly every single title and the characters would just slaughter whole groups of them with ease. I used to call them "Squash the Spider Alien Issues" and everyone seemed to have one (when Toruk Dinosaur Hunter is slaughter them, you know you need to scale back the Spider Alien appearances)

Yeah Shooter made everything better. Valiant just didn't seem to ever have villain that could compete with the quality of its heroes. Master Darque was the closest.
