jrpoole's review
I've read a handful of compendiums and graphic novels, but this will be the first real comics series I've ever read, so I'm probably not the best reviewer for this.
This first volume of Marvel's newly-licensed Alien series seems like a good start. I see a lot of other reviewers taking it to task for being too slow, but to me it both sets the stage for a crackerjack xenomorph story and gets in a lot of character development for Gabriel Cruz, a recently retired Weyland-Yutani defense commander, and his son, an anti-corporate terrorist who unwittingly lets loose a gaggle of face huggers. I'm looking forward to reading this one as it comes out.
