Alien #4

A towering Xenomorph Queen dominates this Björn Barends cover for the fourth chapter of "Icarus," her enormous frame rearing up over what appears to be a crumbling industrial environment. Below her, a lone human figure crouches with a weapon while another survivor sprawls in the rubble — and a third figure hangs suspended in the Queen's grip. Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Julius Ohta's 2023 run continues to deliver the franchise's signature blend of dread and desperate survival, and this midpoint of the six-part arc looks utterly unforgiving.
