Look for more information on this title in future issues of Marvel Previews.
Larroca delivers some fantastic art in the issue. The visuals scares are amazing and the end of the issue has some truly great visual horrors in it. Read Full Review
Alien #10 is a chilling entry into the new Marvel series. No character is safe and all of them are in a state of constant danger. Phillip Kennedy Johnson has solidified himself as not only a great storyteller, but a brilliant horror writer. Phenomenal pencils and colors make this book a must read. Read Full Review
Alien #10 is the best issue of the series"and therefore the franchise's run at Marvel Comics"to date purely for the novelty it introduces. Read Full Review
Alien #10 shows the survivors of Euridice struggling to find hope and safety in the wake of the Xenomorph attacks. The story is fine and doesn't waste any time to get right to the horror of the comic, but it takes a few weird turns along the way. There are a couple of new surprises for Aliens fans, but mileage will vary on whether these new additions are good or not. Read Full Review
Bits and PiecesAlien #10 feels like the series is trending in the wrong direction. The religious elements Johnson created for this arc feel like cheap copies of religions we already know, the “new” Xenomorphs introduced in this issue don't make a lick of sense, and the generally good art looks, in some spots, looks like somebody pasted word balloons on portrait photographs.

I feel like this series has been unfairly panned by the critics for its entire run. Johnson offers a lot for fans of the Alien franchise, staying true to the elements that made Alien and Aliens so iconic while still finding a voice of his own. He shows how much havoc the Xenomorphs can wreak among a variety of characters in a variety of settings, and the new Xenomorphs he’s created are even more terrifying then the original. The only criticism from the consistent naysayers that I will agree with is that the art could be better.
This is the most disturbing issue yet! DAMN!
Seriously though, leave this guy behind.
This has a lot of potential to be a really intriguing story. The idea of a cult-like religion surrounding the corporate commodification of the xenomorph sounds really rad. It sounds like something Ridley Scott wishes he could write. However, every moment is hampered by the art. I cannot stress this enough. This could be a great comic if not for Salvador Larroca's art. I don't mind being harsh about it, either. Larroca is known for tracing his way through issues, and has been serving up barely competent art for years now. He should stop tracing and actually draw his comics (which he used to do) or he shouldn't have a job in this industry.
