Scott's Review of Aliens #2

“Aliens #2 begins with a misdirection. We feel like we are shown a facehugger victim’s thoughts, but, the panels slowly reveal a very interesting depiction of a developing Newt in her mother’s womb. The little human floats in a sea of fleshy tendrils and folds as her mother’s voice penetrates the realm with a lullaby. It's a beautiful, powerful piece of work.

She is contemplating the bleakness of space, and humanity trying to escape its own nature, but retreating to the primal warmth of our bodies.”
