The glowing Alien doesn't bother me to be honest. It's a comic, so I'm willing to roll with sillier things there than I would be in a movie (I have no real problem with the general concept of the "Sil" Alpha thing in this comic, either, and gave that the benefit of the doubt), but more importantly... it is actually well drawn, whereas nothing in this current comic is. At least, the one on the cover is well drawn; we haven't seen any interior artwork (or whatever explanation they give for it, for that matter) of the glowing Alien yet.
