The Book Series

Does anyone here read the Resident Evil book series?

ya, read them all. favorite was caliban cove; you?

Oh yeah, the books are awesome. By far I'd have to go with either Caliban Cove, too, or Zero Hour. Have you read/do you know anything about the 8th and 9th books or The Beast of the Northern Seas? I hate it that I can only find them in German.

Still, I'm more for the comics.

Only read the first one. Loved it.

@Reede1991: I've never read any (found out there were books only a few weeks ago, didn't get any yet)
@Mass Distraction: Now there is a comic? This is the one and ONLY thing I hate about horror movies (there is too much stuff lol)
@NiteKrawler: Was it really like the video game? (1st)

Did you just refer to Resident Evil as "horror movies"? I hope not. And yes, the book I read was basically the exact 1st game in book form. Exactly as the movies should have been...

The comics are old news They date back to 1998, the official comics anyway. You can NEVER have enough RE stuff. I'm currently hunting down some of the other comics.

Nite, you should read Zero Hour. Then tell me if it was like the game

My science teacher (who is actually Uber cool) has everything. (I think)
I begged him to lend me some of the books.

Apparently Albert is cheesy.

That reminds me, I once did a paper on the Zero Hour book for english.

yeah, I hated Wesker on the Code Veronica book, nothing like the game

@NiteKrawler: I meant horror movies in general, but I think Resident Evil kinda is a horror movie (or did you think it was a romantic comedy? lol)
@Mass Destruction: I searched for comic books for horror movies, only found Halloween (Michael Myers) nothing on RE
@Mass Distraction (2nd post): lol, really? I was planning on using them (books) for a reading log in my Reading class

All 7 of them. My favorite was probably Umbrella Conspiracy, which was really enjoyable. While the Code Veronica novelization was the most dissapointing, for me anyway. Maybe because that is the one I was most excited to read.

I liked them though. Caliban Cove and Underworld are the only two completely original stories, while the other 5 are novelizations of existing games.

@Dragonfan: Wow, I was actually confused when you used two versions of my nick. Doesn't matter though. Well, on the actual point: maybe you should've searched for horror GAME comics. RE comics are pretty easy to find. Also (even though this was directed to Nite) Resident Evil is essentially a horror game. Not a movie. The movies are pretty much just a side product.

@Spike: Actually, they aren't the only original books. There are also books 8 and 9

just ordered umbrella conspiracy is it any good?

The Conspiracy was great, though it was based on the original game and didn't have stuff from the REmake.

Good stuff altough I wont be able to get my hands on it for a few weeks yet because its shipping from the US so it will be a long wait.

I think Resident Evil is a survival/horror GAME series.

Like Nite said.

You know what? I think Perry should do some Silent Hill novels next.

Whats the worst book?

I've only read three but seems like Code: Veronica isn't exactly the favorite here.

Wait, now there are horror books for silent hill?!? aye aye aye. I'm a big horror movie fan, but I don't think I can do that much. And I say they are both games and books/games

For the first two games yes. And a nice variety of comics.
