Rated T+
This series has nor right to be as good as it is but just is as the creative team hit every note pitch perfectly. Exceptional writing that shows off Hickman's understanding of who the characters are and their underlying humanity or inhumanity combine with beautifully cinematic art that can in one moment convey wonderfully emotive moments and the next plunge you into a blaze of glory action scene that tug at your emotional core visually and emotively. Another perfect installment in the series. This is the MARVEL comic everyone should be reading. Read Full Review
This team is crafting an absolute love letter to Ridley Scott, to Aliens, and to our beloved Avengers in such a beautiful way. Aliens Vs Avengers is a story that brought us here to watch Hulk smash Aliens and it has delivered on that and so much more. Fans, this ones for us. Read Full Review

This is Hickman at his most crowd-pleasing, and I love that the schedule for the book is giving Ribic and Ive Svorcina time to craft lovingly detailed art that still has the energy of your favorite superhero comic and the menace of space horror. Read Full Review
Aliens vs. Avengers #2 escalates the stakes with an intricate, multiversal plot that transforms the series from a simple alien battle to a grand, existential conflict. Jonathan Hickman's deep exploration of Alien lore and the sinister threat posed by the David 8 synthetics create a tense and engaging narrative. Esad Ribic's artwork shines, capturing the chaos with stunning visuals, from Hulk's brutal battles to sweeping space scenes. Read Full Review
I would’ve appreciated a little more action, considering the delays.
But what is here is great.
I love how Ribic draws Hulk.
One of the best crossovers ever.
Plot
This installment narrates several events that occur in different eras and different places.
First Event: It takes place 100 years ago, in another distant universe, it shows some synthetics destroying a population of Engineers (the beings that supposedly created us and created the Aliens), this Synth rejoices at having destroyed a race that, with a kind of bacteria, begins the process of eliminating all organic beings in the universe.
Second Event: 1000 years later, the Synths are about to finish their cleaning work in another planetary system.
Third Event: In our world twenty years ago, it shows how Tony Stark sells his company to Weyland, which is run by the Synth, responsible for this entire proc more
Damn.
Not a fan of Alien Covenant, not a fan of Prometheus retcon, There’s less action and fewer twists than in the first chapter, buuuut… despite all these little flaws, Hickman managed to get me interested in this mythology and totally invested in the story. Once again, impressive.Yes, there are certain recurring themes and obsessions with Hickman (the rise of artificial intelligence, humanity’s resilience in the face of the end of all things), but it doesn’t feel repetitive; we’re still surprised.
