ALLIED, AXIS AND ALIEN POWERS COLLIDE! CAPTAIN AMERICA leads BUCKY BARNES and the rest of the HOWLING COMMANDOS behind enemy lines in order to free one of their own - but no-one is prepared for the horror they discover at HYDRA'S most top-secret base! Meanwhile, has RED SKULL managed to find a way to harness the destructive might of the XENOMORPHS, or has he merely added to the carnage and chaos of the warfront? Either way, Captain America and his allies are about to face their biggest fight yet - that is, unless an unexpected "alien" ally sees fit to intervene!

    Alien vs Captain America #2 is a gory and scary ride that is so outside of a Captain America story that it's refreshing. The Aliens' addition really brings something unique to the story and overall vibe. This is a fantastic crossover that highlights both franchises impeccably. This is a must get at the LCS for any horror fans out there. Read Full Review

    AIPT - David Brooke Dec 17, 2025

    Alien vs. Captain America #2 leans hard into what makes the Alien franchise terrifying: inevitability, helplessness, and overwhelming violence. Frank Tieri smartly frames the xenomorphs not just as monsters, but as an existential threat Cap is wildly unprepared for, while Raffaele and Menon create a grim, suffocating battlefield drenched in blood and shadow. The issue's nonstop brutality is balanced by a clever cosmic wrinkle that widens the story's possibilities and injects a rare spark of hope. It's savage, smartly structured, and far more effective than this matchup has any right to be. Read Full Review

    Alien vs. Captain America is pure fun that succeeds in entertaining, even if the plot is thin. Tieri and Raffaele keep their focus firmly on what matters, giving us frenzied battle scenes and hard-nosed character moments. Read Full Review

    Plot
    Cap, Bucky, and the Howling Commandos arrive at the H.Y.D.R.A. facility in Nazi-occupied France, following the trail of Dino, a member of the Howling Commandos who was kidnapped.

    The massacre they witness is horrifying: thousands of H.Y.D.R.A. soldiers torn apart, their chests ripped open. They manage to speak with Dino, who warns them about Project Red King, explaining that Red Skull and Baron Strucker failed in their attempt to control the Xenomorphs. In seconds, his chest rips open, and an Alien devours Frenchie's face.

    A Xenomorph attacks them and kills Dun Dun Duggan. Cap decapitates the Alien with his acid-immune shield, but an army of Xenomorphs attacks them. They are saved by a Kree robot sent by Capt more
