yes! i had to write the title in caps because this expansion IS SO AWESOME!! i may be overreacting, but this makes comic encounter more abstract. I did a 2-play mod yesterday with that hazard deck with my friend, just some the aliens totally break everything! A favorite mine right now would have to be Trickster and another Warhawk... I could talk about all of them, but i don't want to spoil everything. BUT SERIOUSLY TRICKSTER IS FUN TO USE AGAINST ANYONE.

This does not mean that the new marines begin play with a chainsaw in their possession!!

So far, Xenophile is my favorite. 

We played with about 6-7 of the new aliens last night.  Graviton is a real game-changer, though; it completely changes everyone's strategy for using Attack cards in a way that we haven't seen before.

Warhawk is a beast.

Invader was fun, but it's more subtle than it looks.

Gotta love the Warhawk, but there's something fun about the Prophet and the Lunatic.

I so want to play The Claw, though.

I like Invader a lot, but Trickster is the most fun to play.

Waiting for better Cosmic Encounter avatars (where's the warp?).

We had Prophet and Lunatic in an 8-player game at Dundracon, and you're right.  They do stand out as fun and powerful aliens.

I haven't played The Claw yet, but my wife has. That one requires a very high awareness of the card distribution, as well as card-counting skills, to be truly effective.

The Claw is awesome!! Managed a joint win because someone played a +2 reinforcement out of frustration when he realised he couldnt win HAHAHA!!!!
