Alien #4

A massive, snarling Xenomorph dominates the cover of this fourth and final chapter of "Descendant," rearing up with claws extended while smaller Aliens swarm below in a scene of pure, contained dread. Two human figures linger in the fiery, industrial background, their vulnerability made unmistakably clear against the overwhelming threat bearing down on them. With cover art by Javi Fernández bathed in Ruth Redmond's smoldering orange and violet hues, and Declan Shalvey and Andrea Broccardo steering the story to its conclusion, this 2024 Marvel release delivers a fittingly intense close to the arc.
