But in the war against the Xenomorphs overtaking their home, the citizens of the ship Forward find themselves breaking every principle... Then, in "Gear in the Machine," Cody Ziglar goes guts-deep into the core of human evil, while in "Lucky," Steve Foxe flips the viewpoint in a way that will tug at the heartstrings of even the most seasoned Alien fan. An unmissable piece of the universe-spanning franchise!< more
The ongoing story in the pages of Alien: Black, White, and Blood from writers Collin Kelly & Jackson Lanzing and artist Michael Dowling remains its most interesting as it explores a side of storytelling this franchise would never dare even attempt in live-action, a bold and deeply political allegory that feels fresh and frightening.

Another mixed bag. Ziglar's story in the middle is the weak link by a country mile. I feel like Utopia falters a little here. Foxe's story is fine. This is a tough IP to write for; people really struggle to find interesting things to do with it.
