Alien Vol. 1: Thaw TP


Declan Shalvey and Andrea Broccardo take the ALIEN franchise to bone-chilling new depths! Talbot Engineering Inc. is under new management — and its brilliant chief scientist, Batya Zahn, will do just about anything to get her family off the icy moon where they’ve been conducting research on water conservation. But there’s more than glacial springs to find in this forgotten corner of the galaxy. When they discover an extraordinary organism buried in the ice, it doesn’t take long for tensions to heat up. What is hidden in the snow comes forth in the thaw — and no one will be welcoming this spring. But Zahn is not willing to give up her work to this unexpected threat without a fight, no matter what horrors emerge from the ice in the black of night!

A fun adventure with new characters on a new planet dealing with some very familiar yet new xenomorphs, all while Weyland-Yutani twirls their evil corporate mustaches, inserting themselves into a situation that nearly immediately lose control of. This is a well done story with art that’s pretty good, but it’s weird to see the Marvel house style applied to Xenomorphs and human bodies being ripped apart.

This was sold just as “Alien” which is what the second was sold as too, so it was pretty confusing to find the actual book when I went to buy the sequel.
