AvP:LaD #1 is starting off with a bang, and I mean that in a very literal sense. There are explosions aplenty. Its a good thing, and while the horror elements this comic had in its beginning pages have all but left, were now in for an action treat. Read Full Review

As we get settled in for the final arc there's been so many bodies dropped that it's hard to keep track of overall. And that's fine because we're definitely knowing those that are remaining and seeing them getting whittled down is exhilarating and disheartening at the same time. With trouble coming from above, below, and sideways when you get down to it, the Aliens vs Predator leg of the Life and Death cycle is off to a great start and should be pretty damn action filled as it barrels toward its conclusion " and hopefully another cycle yet to come afterward!

For those who end up surviving this epic ordeal, they definitely deserve a raise. Read Full Review
