Aliens: Kidnapped #2

The middle chapter of this three-part Dark Horse series delivers a viscerally striking cover by Kilian Plunkett — a bloodied, snarling man grapples desperately with a writhing Alien facehugger, both figures drenched in crimson against a lurid pink and purple background. The raw, tactile energy of that struggle sets a tense tone for whatever Jim Woodring and Justin Green have in store inside, with interior art by Francisco Solano López. If the cover is any indication, issue two of Aliens: Kidnapped isn't letting up on the terror.
