Alien #5

Two survivors clash in desperate, mid-air combat — one armed with a blade, the other fighting bare-handed amid a spray of water — while multiple Xenomorphs close in from every direction, prowling the wreckage-strewn environment above a field of bones and skulls. Björn Barends' cover captures the suffocating dread of being surrounded, with the Xenomorphs rendered in unsettling detail against the industrial gloom. "Icarus: Part 5 of 6" from Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Julius Ohta pushes toward its conclusion with the tension visibly at a breaking point.
