Alien #4 eviscerates the last suggestions of hope and safety. It expands on impending events, with bigger shocks, more enemies, and bloodier deaths. Read Full Review
Broccardo delivers some powerful and beautifully tense imagery throughout the issue. The visuals are great and play in brilliantly with the tense and terrifying story. Read Full Review
This Alien series continues to be pretty solid all around but it takes some odd turns here that are a little squirmy for me while also leaning into some tropes of the property that I wish it had avoided. The threat of the xenomorphs continues to be nicely done here and I like the setting and scale of events as well. The family drama is handled well enough but it keeps coming back to the point where Zasha's mother is just unlikable in general and everything she does or has done seemingly makes things worse for everyone around her. It's a got a solid look throughout and I continue to like the character designs and especially the color work as it's not mired in heavy dark colors. That allows the truly tense sequences to feel even more so since you can see so much of it as it gets overpowering. Read Full Review
Aliens, heartache, and stakes galore, oh my! Read Full Review
Artist Andrea Broccardo continues to do good work, but there's only so many times you can see a hissing alien run down a hallway before it loses impact. Read Full Review
Love the cover of this one. I think the stakes were raised a bit too fast, ironic given the slow speed this story has been unfolding thus far. But the reveals here are neat, and I'm having a fun enough time.

This issue was the best thus far. I really haven't liked it until now. The mother died in child birth of hybrid. I wish this was explained more. Why would she experiment on herself in this way? Though I like the idea, I don't really understand the motivation behind it, especially when this kind of risk would leave her real daughter an orphan. I liked the reveal of the boyfriend behing an android, but again, it raises more questions. WHy wasn't he able to repair his lost limb? I believe it wraps up next issue. I'm hoping for a good conclusion.
