You know, this story had potential. With the way that it started. Instead of the usual song of, Aliens being the Apex predators which hunt down hapless, scared humans in dark hallways, this showed promise to be something different.
The opening panels gave the picture of a world, which was already ravaged by the Xenomorphs, and brought to the brink of extinction. They however managed to turn the tables, to the point where now the Aliens were the one going extinct, and were treated as little more than persistent pests.
I was all set for a decadent society which uses Xenomorphs, and maybe the occasional Predator in gladiatorial rings, in Mengele level experimentation, or as dangerous exotic pets. Like that one Canadian Zombie movie 'Fido', I was expecting a version of Comorragh and the Drukhari. Ok, maybe that was a bit too far.
Point is, instead of an Alien story line, where humanity comes out as the worst monsters, we get yet another generic horror storyline, with a bunch of forgettable characters, all culminating in a rushed banal ending. 3 out of 5

Beautiful artwork but a slightly muddled story. Are those pred-aliens?!
