Art looks uninspiring. I mean, when did digital tracing become a thing people wanted to see? Or did a corpo say "it streamed line our asset production process saving thousands of dollars in manual laboured tasks such art.".

The Alien comic preview definitely made it an easy pass... I have a few more darkhorse comics to collect then I can call it done.

Because billion dollar companies are tired of making money it seems and traceing helps them with the process

That art is just terrible. Absolutely lazy talentless junk. This is meant to be their premiere issue that sells the series so I dread to think how much worse it's going to get.

I like to think that the goo actually came from the Alien, and that when it mutates it's trying it's hardest to evolve back into it with what it already has

This but with added Yog-Sothothery.

Now that's a sound complaint, and probably the biggest problem here.

I can excuse low quality art if the story is any good. That's what mainly concerns me.

So guess this is how the accelerant is playing into this one...

Honestly, that's fine by me. I've a fond spot for the

and this is a direction I've wanted to see taken more firmly.

Spoiler
We see Ripley 8-esque hybrids in stasis tubes. I suspect she's resulting from whatever's going on with those.

Would be nice if this is taking account of the fourth film and showing this as precursors to those experiments.

As for that appearance...

Spoiler
Many fans are assuming it's wholly influenced by Giger/Sil, but the horizontal headgear makes me think we could also be seeing inspiration from 'Warhammer Fantasy' artistic depictions. Could make a case for the body having things in common with devotees of Slaanesh, but that head design immediately made me think of Morathi.



Compare:




Similarities are definitely there.

I'd say "when is anything ever good?", but apparently people are really enjoying Into Charybdis.

It's a take on Giger's Li pieces which were inspiration for Shaw in Covenant.

With a hearty helping of Species thrown in, although the similarities there were already pronounced.

It's actually what I'd like to see Ripley 8 mutate into after AR.  It would be a fresh direction to take her character.
