I liked bits and pieces of this latest Marvel-Alein run but to echo what others have said, making the synth team into super-heroes with axes and lightsabers and other melee weapons was completely stupid and nearly took me out of the entire storyline.

I also did not like how through all the carnage of slicing and dicing the xenos that the acid blood never came into play, at all?

Like obviously I understand they're synthetics and bad-ass elite fighters, but the reckless fighting having 0 repercussions in terms of the acid blood seemed completely dumb.

I want to give Disney the benefit of the doubt here because I hold out hope Alien will be revived to  its former glory, but stories like this just make that so hard.

I think you guys hit the nail on the head when you suggested it was basically a very superheroish Alien comic. Also, since you brought up Enemy of My Enemy, I'll be looking forward to that podcast when it arrives. :p

I'm so glad PKJ is done writing alien comics

I really enjoyed the Icarus storyline, and it's definitely the best of PKJ's run. As an action-focused heist story with xenomorphs I think it's really successful and fun to read, even though it sort of falls off at the end a bit. I can understand the criticisms but ultimately I can forgive the flaws because the book is fun and stylish and refreshing.

 Plus I love a comic book that *knows* it's a comic and makes choices that take advantage of the format, and Icarus definitely does that

Genuinely hilarious, Eric / Xenomorphine is literally taking the words out of my mouth. We're kindred spirits.

I'm guessing you're referring to the superhero critique here. For me, the Alien comics (or the better ones) have always been more grounded in that cinematic or more serious feel so I understand where it being more superhero can stand out. If it were a crossover, I think it'd feel more in line with that, but it's not really the feel I think a lot of us are used to.

More specifically I mean the general design of the book - the bold color choices and how they create dynamic light and dark, the panel layouts, the stylized text for the sound effects and things like that. You mentioned in the episode the speech bubbles coming from the hands, which is a really creative way to represent sign language in a comic.

The design does tend to highlight the action and give it that superhero feel, which is very different from other Alien(s) books I've read, but as a comic book fan I'm just appreciative of the way the whole creative team built the pages.
