HUNDRED WORD HIT #133 - ALIEN #5
Alien #5 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson & Salvador Larocca
In true Alien fashion the race is on as Cruz, carrying his face-hugger impregnated son races across the Epilson to the only shuttle left, with the Alpha alien in hot pursuit.
As Cruz battles the Alpha, there’s time for Kennedy Johnson to sow the seeds of a much broader story, and the virus like threat of the aliens relentless infestation across galaxy after galaxy all controlled by a human/alien god-like queen. It’s frightening!
The ending is epic with the customary action and betrayals. Kennedy Johnson and Larocca have totally nailed this series. Bring on the next arc!
Rating 8.5 out of 10
