Alien #3

Marvel's Alien series continues with this third chapter of "Icarus," and Björn Barends' cover sets the tone perfectly — a battle-worn woman clutching a smoking pulse rifle while carrying a goggled child on her back, both of them standing atop what appears to be a downed Xenomorph as fire roils behind them. It's a tense, immediate image that captures the franchise's signature blend of maternal protectiveness and raw survival instinct. With Phillip Kennedy Johnson writing and Julius Ohta on art, this 2023 series is shaping up to be a worthy addition to the Alien mythos.
