From the get-go, Aliens: Defiance was a strong, worthy entry into the Alien universe. Issue #3 continues that. Theres a lot to enjoy here, and its a shame well probably have to wait two or three months for the next issue. Read Full Review

Aliens: Defiance may be taking a bit of time to get going, partially just from the delay in installments, but the end results are definitely worth it.
