PARENTAL ADVISORY
Larroca delivers some wonderful visuals in the issue. The character designs are great and there is a wonderful use of shadow to denote fear and menace. A great looking issue that captures the fear and tension of the story. Read Full Review
Bits and PiecesJohnson sets up a white-knuckle humdinger of a cliffhanger in Alien #11 heading into the next issue finale. The feeling of encroaching horror and hopeless dread is palpable, and the art is consistently okay. Read Full Review
The storyline on Euridice inches closer to the finish line with Alien #11. Jane and her friends finally reach Gamma Station but trouble's not far behind as Xenomorphs relentlessly hound them. The dialogue and pacing are good, and the comic connects some things back to the first story arc. However, it feels like a last minute addition that may or may not have that much weight in this story, but we'll see if it bears fruit in the next issue. Read Full Review
Still worth a look if you are interested but expect to have to go back and read the previous entries in the series to work out what is going on. Read Full Review
Poorly rendered photographic forms and inconsistent geography continue to plague an Alien story that otherwise might be fun, if not memorable. Read Full Review
The story continues to be great, the art continues to be mediocre (so much so that in this issue it was sometimes hard to see what was actually going on).
I really don't know what to say here. Or at least, what new things I could say. The same problems persist, and it's almost solely on the art side of things. Larroca kills this book, in a terrible way. Horror is all about tone, and that means there needs to be strong artwork to grip the reader. Larroca may as well be a stock image search. It really takes me out of what is a pretty solid Alien story. And I know Alien as a horror concept is kind of objectionable, if only because the series continually tries to be more than that. But the pseudo-sexual, black bug monster is outright terrifying in concept, and you can't just sap out the horror inherent there... but you can try, and it's safe to say Larroca might be trying to. The twist is pretty more
Though the story is rather redundant, the characters are well done and the story keeps moving with some good Alien attacks. Not everything adds up though but it is enjoyable on a primal level.
This actually would have been more interesting if it wasn't the company backstabbing our heroes once again, because that is every Alien comic at all times...
