Alien vs. Captain America #1 delivers a powerful and suspenseful opening that sets the tone for an unforgettable crossover. Frank Tieri, along with Clayton, Neeraj Menon, and Stefano Raffaele, masterfully blends wartime tension with sci-fi horror, capturing the menace of the Xenomorphs and the reckless ambition of Strucker's team.

In order to properly fuse the two properties together, Tieri and company work with a premise that deals somewhere between the second and fourth movies in the series. This makes perfect sense as Captain America is essentially an action hero and James Cameron's action based treatment of the premise is a good match. The legacy science fiction of the fourth film is mirrored in a clever execution of the light cycle of the xenomorph as it engages with the World War II era of the Titanic book. It's very potentially calculated. And now that the basic introduction is set, it should be interesting to see how the creative team manages to navigate through the rest of the series without making it feel painfully obvious. The joy of introducing the premise is a lot of fun. It will remain to be seen if it can maintain that appeal as the story works its way out to its inevitable resolution. Read Full Review

Alien vs Captain America Issue 1 reinvigorates the Marvel Heroes vs monsters idea. It's an inventive concept that means Cap doesn't have a slew of reinforcements, and the war story fused with sci-fi horror is a fantastic combo. Read Full Review
