SOMETHING WICKED IS COMING THEIR WAY...
The USCSS Boreas has been infiltrated! A chest-burster is wreaking havoc on base, leaving a trail of gore and eviscerated bodies in its wake. With their numbers dwindling, will the Weyland-Yutani security team be able to track the alien down before it becomes something even more deadly? And even if they do, how will they manage the horrors lurking just outside their walls beyond the ice?
Rated T+
Declan Shalvey's script jumps between different events with a tense ease, and his and Andrea Broccardo's art work fairly well to convey the brutality and humanity on display, even if the end result is still a little disorienting. Read Full Review
Plot
This comic tells two stories in parallel:
The first occurs in the year 2208, ten years after the events of the previous story arc where the ship Boreas sank on the icy moon LV-695, a place where the corporation Jun Yutani III tries to rescue the USCSS BOREAS from the depths of the saguas. frost, to face a new race of xenomorphs that arise from the fusion of an ice monster, this origin was explained in Alien Annual #1 2023.
Zasha reunites with Dayton, but they are interrupted by Mr Yutani, who reveals something shocking.
The second story occurs on the planet HD 202206BK in the year 2168, which continues to narrate how an expedition is achieved for the first time with a xenomorph egg, where both synths try more
This was the best issue thus far. Mostly because we get back to focusing on Zasha. She finds Dayton but is followed by her boss who has nefarious motivations. Meanwhile Xenos attack the salvaging group. I like that the acid blood breaks the cables. Not much of a fan of these ice aliens, but whatever. Let's see where it goes, but I think we can all agree that we don't want to see anymore of Zasha's story after this.

There's a fine if generic aliens murdering people/people screwing up story here, but it would be a lot more enjoyable with human-sounding dialogue and a character or two to care about. This is issue #8 with this story since it began in the last volume, or issue #9 if we count the Annual that was a waste of time--in all those comics, staggeringly little character development has occurred. I like most of the art and there's some very good imagery, particularly the bit with all the aliens on the bottom of the ship. That was neat.
This fell off. I don't think the storytelling works here. Like, in a mechanical sense. The art doesn't do a great job with it, unfortunately.
