THE ZENOMORPH OF TRUTH? It's World War II and Hydra seeks a new weapon to defeat the Allies and win the war. To that end, the Red Skull has sent Baron Strucker on an expedition to the Himalayas to find the fabled city of Atilan. But instead of finding the Inhumans, Strucker uncovers something much more deadly. Much more... Alien. Can Captain America and the Howling Commandoes stop the Skull and his newfound xenomorph weapons... or will the First Avenger learn that in war-torn Europe... no one can hear you scream?

Hydra, Aliens as weapons in WWII in France and the Captain. Well, why not?

A great start

Marvel has been behind some good stories with the Aliens and Predator franchise.This is no exception.The price is a bit high for the amount of content but the story and artwork almost makes up for the price.I did purchase the first issue but I will wait for the trade to be released to complete this one.Marvel has been very disappointing otherwise.

The series started out better than I thought it would. The artwork is solid. It is a good start to the series.

I cannot help but wonder if the Nazis or the Red Skull did not bite off more then they can chew. I have not followed Marvel's Alien stories, but the scientists in Dark Horses various series were always incredibly stupid when it comes to how the Xenomorphs were studied. Or, the stories might start strong but ended stupidly. So it will be interesting to see how these series handles the machinations of both Hydra and the Nazis.

It is crazy that the Inhumans were killed by the Xenomorphs back when. I don't know how I feel about that, so hopefully the story of their demise is not told any further in the next three issues. I think it is something better left untold because I don't think any story could really do it justice.

I think that setting it in WWII could give it an interesting flavor (especially as the Nazis were searching for occultic items before and during the War). I do find part of myself wondering if the Skull will get his at the tail end of the Queen, or if something like what happened to Sinister in the Aliens vs. Avengers series will happen where a hybrid will be "born" that is an amalgamation of the Skull and the Queen.

I was ambivalent when I saw this series because the Predator v. series have been hit-and-miss for me, but with the strong start to this series, I hope the momentum is not lost and it ends strong.

Didn't know i could review single issues on here but hey another reason why Goodreads is an awesome place.

I'm a firm believer that comic books as a medium are up their with Literary works, i love both and refuse to be a snob about it which is better, its 50/50 for me.

This is a new mini series from Marvel who over the past few years have been churning out really great Alien and Predator comic books. And this seems to be carrying that one, although its early days yet this one has gotten off to a great start, Great artwork by Stefano Raffaele, and i love the WW2 setting.

What I liked: None of it.
Art & Coloring: Typical marvel team up that seems like a ploy to sell more comics, nothing to write home of.
Writing: Dialogue was good.
What I didn't like:I feel like I am missing a plot. When did the Hydra decide to get a bunch of aliens? HOW are they in this universe?
Final thoughts: This felt like a cash grab.
Continuing?: No

Cap is a *ad *ss! I really like this portrayal of him; the strongest guy around who is also willing to lead by example. Be prepared for some real twists and turns; this must take place in a parallel reality due to some of the fatalities that happen. In this first issue Cap and Sgt. (Nick) Fury are tracking down a weaponized form of life that Baron Strucker is trying to 'gift' the Red Skull! All out WW II action!

2.5
it was the waste offensive thing ive read from tieri. actually cohesive.
not much of captain america but this was a lot for set up for the nazis/hydra using the xenomorph as a weapon.

art was good.

[Powerman61 · Rating 3 out of 5]

Alien vs Captain America wasn't what I had expected.
Although the artwork and storyline were good.
This issue contained a lot of horrific violence.
It's going to be interesting to see how
Captain America stop Hydra and their new weapon.

As a Frank Teri fan I always anticipate reading his work. The first issue holds promise. The art and story both are rich and hold the promise of a great read. I hope the other issues follow-up on this.

[Aaron · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yeah this is pretty neat setting. And of course the Red Skull would love to have a Xenomorph or two lol

Picked up the foil Variant cvr too 🤘

[Myles Gerber · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.5/5 ⭐️⭐️✨

[Joseph Baker · Rating 4 out of 5]

I mean this effortless feels like a great cap story. What’s there to complain about. 4 stars being just because could have seen more cap in this issue!

[Richard A · Rating 5 out of 5]

Surpisingly good read to start this "been done so many times before" new series. I hope it doesn't go the end of the world ways of others.
