Amanda Ripley, Zula Hendricks, and Alec Brand team up on a new mission. A classified planet houses a powerful resource that could save millions in the right hands. With Weyland-Yutani ever-threatening, will the team manage to secure the planet? Or will the alien threat overwhelm them?
The premise is now solidified and the title characters make a brief appearance. I'm hoping that the next issue has things go wrong, as they always do in this franchise.
