Aliens: Hive #4

The concluding chapter of Aliens: Hive arrives with a cover that makes an immediate, visceral impression — a surging mass of Xenomorphs fills the frame edge to edge, their elongated skulls and bared inner jaws rendered in Kelley Jones's distinctively shadowy, almost sculptural linework. There's a genuine sense of overwhelming, relentless menace as the creatures press forward out of a dark, starry void, a reminder of exactly why the hive is such a terrifying concept. A fitting visual send-off to this 1992 Dark Horse miniseries.
