Aliens: Rescue #1 is a solid start to this story arch. It establishes Brand as a character all his own while still acknowledging his past. The writing and artwork definitely draw you in and leave you with just enough information to want to come back to see what happens next. The only minor disappointing thing about Aliens: Rescue #1 is that it does take it's time to get to the root of the story but it is well worth the wait. Read Full Review
Kieron McKeown delivers some good looking art in this issue. The panels are composed well and it will be interesting to see how the art evolves when the characters make it to their destination. Read Full Review
Without even seeing the eponymous villain of the story we have opened with a compelling enough reason to return. This series is looking to be just as dynamic and interesting as the last. No small feat. Read Full Review
Aliens: Rescue #1 was a great read, especially for fans of the original series (Aliens: Resistance). Read Full Review
This is a decent start to the series, though the heroes and title creatures are only in photos and one flashback. Wood is setting the stage for the action of the upcoming issues. The visuals are typical comic book fare: they look fine, but don't have the awesomeness of previous Alien comics. My hopes were higher than they should have been for this opening installment, but I'm still eager to see what happens next. Read Full Review
Aliens: Rescue gets off to a decent start as its focus is mostly on Brand and getting him into a position where he can actually do something. Read Full Review
Overall, this is a solid first issue for the new series. We haven't seen much by way of characters, but the one we follow has potential. The art is strong and helps keep this series feeling close to it's 80's/90's era roots. If you're a fan of the Aliens film and comics series then Aliens: Rescue #1 will be a good fit for you.

A solid start to this new chapter, and gave us plenty to look forward to as Alec Brand sets off to find his heroes. Aliens: Rescue #1 gets you asking a lot of questions, and that's never a bad thing with these stories. Especially when this has been an ongoing story since the events of Aliens: Defiance.
