    That would be pretty cool. Back when GWW interviewed Abnett he said there's one thing he was particularly proud of. I assume it hasn't happened yet, so I'm eager to see what comes ahead, especially in Omega.

    Just got the latest issue and it was actually my favorite so far. I felt more engaged than with any of the other issues, probably of the whole Life and Death series so far. I'm interested in seeing where this new concern for the xenos goes. I always love seeing new mutations in the comics, and I'm hoping something like that comes about. It would be interesting if:

    I just read the third issue, and it was pretty decent. Something about it just didn't excite me, though. Can't really put my finger on it.

    I think maybe the art failed the big reveal of the stillborn xenos. That scene would have really benefitted from Juan Ferreyra or Tristan Jones art.

    That being said, I'm interested, based on the AVP solicitations, to see how the whole "trying to keep the newborn queen away from the hive" angle plays out. I'm really hoping the Omega issue ends this arc with a bang. I feel like maybe when we get the inevitable sequel to Life and Death, there will be more for the writers to play with, given that Covenant will be out by then.

    Finally!

    Really enjoyed that issue. This series has really picked up since issue 2 - was worried after issue 1 TBH.

    I really like where this is going now (kinda touched on something I've personally experienced too - in a more human way mind).

    Why would it if it purpose seems to be to creates some sort of Alien-like creature?

    "seems" and "Alien-like".

    These Aliens were spawned from LV-426, so a) who knows how far removed genetically and b) Aliens are an amalgam of Alien and human, so the human aspect is open to being affected.  And c) who knows if Aliens are affected or not.

    Yeah. this was my thought as well. Even if the Aliens were created by using the Black Goo, an idea I totally hate, there's obviously going to be some genetic drift over the time based on the hosts of each generation leading to the Lv426 brood. I mean, just going by the leaked image of Covenant's eggs, the Aliens on Paradise are probably removed genetically by at least a bit.

    A mutagen doesn't stop being mutagenic just because it mutated something or created something.

    What I'd really like is if the Black Goo was created by the Engineers, using the Aliens biology, rather than the Aliens being made by certain others using the Black Goo.

    Valid points but it just reinforces why I hope they have some sort of roadmap for where they're going and actually know what they want from it. Don't want different people trying to use it for everything. It's just so much of a magic plot device at the minute.

    Moritat's work in the current Hellblazer comic is pretty good, I'd check that out to gain a little more faith in him. But yeah, his Aliens are far too... Cartoony? Simple? I dunno.However, his people look good.

    Spoiler
    I'm liking that there seems to be some sort of intelligence behind the Queen.

    I'm sure his art is great in other books, but some or most of these Alien drawings are abysmal.

    Thanks Ultra. This art looks so 90's. Colors are ok. I don't think an Alien should have a full mouth-jaw that opens so wide but that's just me. Depending on the AVP art & how Aliens L&D 3-4 finishes, I'll probably sit that one out and just wait for the TPB once it comes out. And it has to hit the 10 buck bin. Can't wait for more of Defiance & Dead Orbit afterwards.
