Aliens: Rescue #3

The cover of this third chapter in Brian Wood and Kieran McKeown's Aliens: Rescue is quietly unsettling — a smooth, featureless helmet dominates the foreground while the gnarled, biomechanical forms of Xenomorphs loom from the shadows behind it, rendered in Roberto De La Torre's deep, atmospheric grays and greens. That tension between cold human technology and the lurking alien threat captures everything that makes the Aliens universe so compelling. A strong entry in Dark Horse's 2019 run of the series.
