Comic Watch - Jamison Nilsson
Sep 30, 2026Aliens vs. X-Men #1 (of 4) is a visually over-the-top and narratively thin issue that reads like an artifact of the notoriously edgy 90s. Read Full Review

Plot
This crossover features two stories by two different creative teams:
-ALIEN VS. X-MEN by Kieron Gillen and Geraldo Borges: The X-Men are in space searching for a Phoenix egg but stumble upon a Xenomorph egg instead. Cyclops, Emma Frost, Kitty Pryde, Beast, and Wolverine are attacked by facehuggers that inherit the mutant powers of their hosts; because Wolverine regenerates, he is repeatedly impregnated by the facehuggers.
Back at the X-Mansion, Hope, Storm, Cannonball, Colossus, Psylocke, Gambit, and Jubilee witness the arrival of the Blackbird, from which a horde of Xenomorphs—sporting Wolverine-like claws—emerges. All seems lost, as these Xenomorphs are advanced and possess unique powers.
