Aliens: Resistance #4

The concluding chapter of Aliens: Resistance arrives with a cover that says everything about the series' tension: two armed figures — backs to us, weapons raised — face a swarming mass of Xenomorphs descending through the murk above them. The composition by Roberto de la Torre is quietly devastating, using muted grays and negative space to make the alien horde feel both vast and inevitable. Brian Wood, Robert Carey, and Dan Jackson bring this 2019 Dark Horse miniseries to a close with the kind of imagery that makes it very hard to look away.
