The ongoing Alien comics from Marvel have been hit or miss, but Alien: Black, White & Blood hits the ground running with major swings. Read Full Review
Alien: Black, White & Blood #1 is off to a good start. This isn't just a collection of Aliens ripping humans apart. However, it does have that, but compelling sci-fi stories about humanity, the humanity inside machines, and the audacity of the rich. Like any good sci-fi, it sports a message while also drenching its pages in blood. Read Full Review
Yes! We're back on track. There's more storytelling in this book than there was in the past 10 issues of the ongoing series. There's a limit to how interesting an Alien anthology can realistically be, and this execution is good all around. Having a multi-part story within an anthology is not ideal, but it's only one of three, and to be fair, the multi-part one looks promising. Of the three stories here, there are no standouts as being especially strong or weak; they're all solid. I thought Ryan Cady's story was the strongest personally, but this was good across the board, on par with or even higher quality than the old Dark Horse stuff. None of these stories are going to blow minds or change the game, but this is good reading for Alien fans more
This issue is a mixed bag, as is the curse of all anthologies, but there's some promising stuff here. Really hoping that the multi-part story echoes Lenin's bolshevik revolution and what an anti-socialist mess that turned into. 🙏 The Hunt story was the weakest of the bunch. I've been listening to the No Sleep podcast recently as spooky stories tend to be my jam, and the process they have for picking stories must be pretty lax. This Hunt story reminds me of so many of those lesser stories, in that it feels like the writer had a punchy ending in mind, with some sort of moral conviction attached, and it didn't really mean much in the end. Yeah, I'm comparing this story to a Creepypasta, essentially. That's mad disrespect, I know. The Matern more
