Some great tense moments. One with a stick up mixed with a chest buster. I will say the back and forth time line can be a tad confusing tho.

I'm really liking the story, I can't wait to read what happens next. I hope we find Danny and he learns not to mess with things.

3.75/5 really enjoying this series...

Story takes place in 2200. Multinational corporation Weyland-Yutani has power over most of space and they continue their work regarding the aliens. Protagonist is WY retired security officer Gabriel Cruz who has lots of experience with the aliens. We don't know yet how exactly, there's just mentions of it.
But by the end of issue 3 it's clear that the connection is important, personal even -
"She's looking for you. The one in the dark."
Things start to go terribly wrong when Anti-WY group breaks into Epsilon Station's research lab. One of them being Gabriel's son, Danny. WY pretty much commands Gabriel to go to Epsilon Station to save the specimens of its research. So it begins!
Story is your familiar fight against the aliens type BUT there seems to be a twist coming. Who exactly is "the one in the dark"?
Also, Gabriel and Danny do not get along. Will there be a reunion? Or will Danny die?

This is still a great book, but it is a little confusing due to time shifts that aren't adequately signalled in either the captions or the art.
It's a personal bug bear of mine when scene transitions aren't properly signalled, so your mileage may vary.
Still, there's the appropriate amount of terror and a final page reveal that'll make any Aliens fan smile.

Very good issue

The art is still goofy, and actually getting into confusing, not only between the flashbacks (which didn't bother me as much as some other reviewers) but also just with the harsh palette shifts that feel like they're an entirely different scene (one particular green backlit adult xenomorph bursting in is the worst offender). This isn't going very well. The deep lore stuff, here (obviously infected) strange livestock on a dead spaceship, has the eerie feel of The Thing, or the original Alien, but when that's just really one panel in a comic that has as many advertisements in it as it has plot beats, it's a bad sign. If the next issue has a really cool cover I'll continue, but beyond that, I'm just done.

The story got more intense. This is where the drama and the terror start. Nice ending I like what they did with bishops model.
