Aliens: Genocide #2

The painted cover by Arthur Suydam sets a vivid, apocalyptic tone — a massive Alien looms atop a rocky outcropping, grappling with a spacesuit-clad human against a sky blazing with fiery orange and smoldering debris. Additional figures lurk in the background, hinting at the brutal scale of conflict the Genocide subtitle promises. This second issue of the four-part 1991 Dark Horse miniseries delivers the kind of visceral, atmospheric imagery that made their Aliens line so compelling.
