Aliens: Dead Orbit #3

Aliens: Dead Orbit

by James Stokoe

Wascylewski survived the sudden breach in his ship’s hull, but is in no better a situation: he comes to, cocooned tightly to the wall under the surveillance of the twin xenomorphs. With only two hours left on his countdown timer and nowhere to go, he will have to pull out his final tricks in order to stay alive.

Orc Stain creator James Stokoe pens a thrilling and claustrophobic Aliens story: Dead Orbit!

Reviews

Oh gee, an issue of a comic where a character(s) tries to escape a space station infested with some kind of alien creature, and shenanigans ensue. Never seen that done before..... especially not in this franchise.

Also, somehow this person, who was practically a corpse, was able to get up, seize a hostage, steal a shuttle, and accidentally get themselves blown up and almost kill the rest of the crew. They may be extremely stupid, but hey...... at least they have extreme pain resistance. Personally, if I was them and had no skin, I would probably be screaming in agony if I just stood still long enough.

Issue #3

[John Mccubbin]

Alien: Dead Orbit #3 is an excellent penultimate issue, setting up next month’s finale perfectly. Building off the suspense and tension of the last two issues, the creator gives us plenty of reasons to stay invested in this mini-series, with it giving Dark Horse‘s next Aliens project a lot to live up to.

Thought this issue was a missed opportunity

Not too impressed with this comic book. The art's good and the story's okay. It's basically like reading a comic book version of the old Alien movie.
