Aliens: Alchemy #3

Richard Corben's painted cover for this finale pulls you in with a stomach-dropping overhead perspective: a human figure grapples desperately with a Xenomorph, the two locked together in freefall above a vertiginous architectural drop, heavy chains framing the chaos above them. It's a genuinely unsettling image that captures the suffocating tension John Arcudi's three-issue "Alchemy" series has been building toward. Dark Horse closes out the mini-series in style with this third and final chapter.
