I’m really glad to see John
Arcudi doing something fairly high profile again. I really enjoyed his run on
Major Bummer and Thunderbolts but haven’t picked up anything he’s done since,
though I’ve heard good things about his work on Hellboy properties.

 This issue
was really solid work. I’d say about 75% of it was setting up the story to be
standard Alien fare and then the last quarter was blasting that straight to
hell to give it a new spin. I like what I did see enough to give this curveball
a shot.

The art was decent. The 2 page spread was nice, but other than that, I
didn’t see a lot that impressed me. I think the aliens have that Predator Jaw
thing going, but we didn’t really see them much, so I could be wrong.
