Aliens: Apocalypse- The Destroying Angels #1

Dark Horse kicks off this four-issue miniseries with a cover by Mark Schultz that wastes no time establishing the series' unsettling tone: a young woman armed with a pistol scrambles desperately across an alien-encrusted surface while a Xenomorph looms directly above her, and — in a genuinely striking touch — an owl swoops in from the right, its presence adding an almost surreal edge to the threat. Writer Mark Schultz and artist Doug Wheatley bring their talents together for what promises to be a tense, atmospheric ride through the Aliens universe. If this 1999 opener is any indication, The Destroying Angels has a lot of compelling strangeness in store.
