Alien #1 - interesting beginning 

Corporal Hicks

I actually quite enjoyed #1. It helps it's got art that actually looks good! A lot of setup, but I'm intrigued. I especially like that it's getting at Aliens being used for things other than military purposes. This is the kind of stuff I live for.

The only thing holding back this new #1 for me is that I have to wait another month for issue #2. Solid introduction of Julius Ohta's art. A couple of the panels seem to show off how much more effort was put into the book than Larroca. It also kinda has some Blade Runner vibes that I really dig.

I thought #1 was a decent setup! Didn't thrill me exactly, cause it's obviously just the setup. But I'm curious to see where the story goes.

The artwork is undeniably much better, although I do agree with some previous comments in this thread that I wish the colors and the overall aesthetic felt more like Alien. Seems just a little too colorful and Marvel-y imo.

But I'll gladly take it over awkward tracings of action figures, and weird contorted facial expressions, any day lol. As long as the story is good, then I'll be along for the ride!

I think the art is more in line with what we've seen from Marvel's Predator. It tells me that they are making the two books more unified for the inevitable AvP from Marvel. Just my guess.

That was my impression as well. I got a lot of the same artistic vibes as the first Predator issue (for better or worse). I get the impression that it's a mix of them keeping the two semi-consistent/alike for the eventual crossover, and just the fact that a lot of Marvel comics have this kind of look in general. It's their style.

Just gave this issue a read and I'm certainly intrigued to see where this arc goes. Definitely got a Blade Runner vibe from this issue which I thoroughly enjoyed! Looks like it'll be a 6 issue arc again which works for me because I really feel that the stories can breathe better at 6 issues as opposed to 4.
