Can anyone recommend the best order to read these?
And if you are a real fan of the movie universe, is it worth it to start reading them?

I was hoping someone would have replied by now also.
As a kid I spent A LOT of lawn mowing money on the Alien comic series by Dark Horse.
And Predator.

I’m just wondering if they expand the universe enough to really commit to reading the books. And what order should I start.
This board is pretty docile so I’ll give it some time

The Sigourney Weaver movies? I didn't know they were books too.

I've read all of the Alan Dean Foster Alien books, I enjoyed them, especially the first Alien and the Covenant prequel he wrote.

Nice. Any particular order to read them?
And do they expand the universe some more.
Engineers
Creation of Xenomorphs
That type of thing?
