This is an incredible coffee table book based on the Alien and Prometheus saga of films and an absolute must-have. It is a handsomely bound hardcover at just under 170 pages. The outside cover is textured with tiny embossed Weyland-Yutani emblems and has a small slipcover that reaches around the spine to the back. The presentation of the book is absolutely breathtaking. As an Alien fanatic, this is a real treat and a true gem that belongs in any collector's library. We rarely get anything this cool and unique. It is presented as being in-universe, written as if somebody from Weyland-Yutani were to read it. It is filled with little goodies, cutaways, foldouts, and neat material.The premise of the WY Report is that after the events in Alien Resurrection, the company puts together a file of its research backlog regarding the xenomorph, and its relation to the Weyland Corporation (later Weyland-Yutani,) Ripley, and further still, the United Systems Military. To play catch up, the Weyland Corp was founded by Peter Weyland in 2012, Weyland Corp merges with cybernetics rival Yutani in 2099, giving birth to WY as we know it. Nearly 100 years later, the USM is formed, and nearly 250 years later, megacorporations are officially banned, causing Weyland-Yutani to fold. The USM is phased out after the Auriga crashes into planet Earth during the final act of Resurrection, thus giving birth to Weyland-Yutani once more. This is the lead-up to the book.Inside the book are numerous sections, that give a very thorough look into the lore and mythos of the Alien saga. It starts with a timeline, detailing the 2000s up to the 2400s chronologically. Next, there is a section detailing the original Big Chap Alien, codenamed XX121.
As a young adult I saw Alien at the theaters in 1979 and was blown away by the gritty working–class representation of space travel and the incredibly unique & hideous life cycle of the creature. It gave new meaning to the phrase being “bitten by the bug” and this interest would carry me through the rest of the films and many more graphic novels & mass market paperbacks. When I first saw this new hardcover and read some of the contrasting reviews, I thought, probably more rehashed material, we all know how these companies love to repackage, I’ll wait till the price comes down. Then last past week I began reading the “The Rage War” novels – which after one book are excellent – and my Alien/Predator obsession got the best of me.Yes, this book can be repetitive, and as with “coffee table” style releases it is lavishly illustrated often at the expense of informative prose, but if you are a friend of the franchise(s) this book is really a fun experience. Note: The wiki website “Xenopedia” has some interesting additional details regarding this listing as well as the $uper $piffy $culpted $lipcase Collector Edition.** Xenopedia states: “In-universe, the report is said to have been written several months after the USM Auriga crashes into Earth, before the Weyland-Yutani Corporation returns as a serious global power (as described in the novel Alien: Sea of Sorrows).”This places this internal report’s publication shortly after the events of “Alien Resurrection”, which conveniently explains why so many Alien stories are constructed around a tired formula of explorers blundering into mass slaughter completely ignorant of their adversary.
