Henry, after yet again being charged with insubordination, is put in command of a platoon of the absolute worst Marines in the sector and assigned the lowest detail in the corp—checking up on a toxic waste dump! What Lt. Henry and company don't know is that this mission is about to go from bad to worse, because a strangely organized batch of Aliens has taken over the waste dump!

[Brandon Castaldi · Rating 5 out of 5]

This comic series is a personal favorite of mine. I never fully collected the whole series so I hope I can fill in the gaps, but everything I’ve read is fantastic. The premise, the art style, I love it. If this story had 100 issues I’d gladly collect them all

[Letande D'Argon · Rating 2 out of 5]

Long before that awful video game happened, there was a Dark Horse comic of the same name. The longest one at the point and also a bit different thanks to its motif. Can't say that the first issue is something special, though. It has some promise, but most of the time it's just our usual alien thing.
