HUNDRED WORD HIT #147 - ALIEN #6
Alien #6 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson & Salvador Larocca
Bishop overrides his programming to save Cruz and kill the double crossing Iris but not before she shares with Cruz the reasons why they want the embryo in his son and why Cruz keeps seeing ‘The Woman In The Dark’.
As the escape pod crashes to Earth, Bishop tries to remove the embryo whilst Cruz tries to re-engage the engines to stop them burning up on re-entry. Except in typical Alien fashion, there’s something wait for Cruz that’s clung onto the escape pod.
Kennedy Johnson and Larocca tie up a really good first arc, bring on Chapter Two!
