Alien #7

Larroca delivers some beautiful art in this issue. With the story taking place on a planet, the art reflects a bigger scope and allows for more details throughout. Read Full Review

Alien #7 starts a new arc and continues the series in name only by focusing on a completely different location and completely different set of characters. The art looks great, the characters work is excellent, but the overall premise has some pieces that don't quite feel believable or realistic" yet. This is a guarded recommendation. Read Full Review

Where the first arc of Alien sought to remix familiar elements from the franchise, "Revival" introduces a variety of new concepts to the series and offers a promising reset after that disappointing introduction. Read Full Review

I would recommend this to people who are interested in the Alien franchise and want to see something other than the standard space marines investigating an industrial complex. Read Full Review

The Aliens series has the chance at a second life here with a very promising setup. It seems to be set on a colony founded by religious minorities who are finally becoming self-sustaining, but leave it to Weyland-Yutani to stab them in the back. The artwork is fine so far since there aren't many xenomorphs present to botch, but I don't think that will last.

This is a genuinely cool idea, even if the setup was kind of a chore to get through. The art is really what kills this book. Larroca is terrible and Marvel should not hire him, especially for a book like Alien that *needs* great art. I was hoping a new arc would mean a different, better artist, but unfortunately, being a tracer means you can keep up with deadlines for an extended period of time. I just feel bad for PKJ, since his writing had to be paired with the lowest grade of comic book art out there.
