Back to dumb Alien fan-fic, I see.

Dayum everything goes to shit as the aliens finally strike back. This some screwed up stuff.

Alright, issue 4 kicks in. Following the last part I expected a good fight against the Xenomorphs but Johnson and the artists deliver some really hard stuff here. You can't prepare yourself for what's going on in this one and to keep the surprise up I won't talk about it. Just overall this is an issue consisting of nearly 100% action and gore. The art is bloody and dirty and that's great. Favorite issue so far. 5/5

This series continues to entertain. We learn what was up with those bugs from earlier and it isn't good. Some wicked gore shots are in this issue and they look great. The art has been solid throughout. The bunker is about to be under attack and the synths have to figure out a way to salvage this mission.

This comic is very good. There is a new type of xenomorph I've never seen in the movies before. It's really cool to read new ideas.

The artwork in fight scenes is still amazing. It's detailed without over-complicating things.

Brutal Issue! This series does not disappoint! 4/5
