Newfound respect for sci-fi stories. Way beyond the sci-fi this trilogy is about the fragility of human nature and the Stone cold, hard reality of how imperfect our societal structure is.

A set of three stories continuing on each other.
My favourite artist style was the first one
Third story was my least favourite

Still relatively new to Aliens comics but this trilogy was recommended to me by a friend so I checked it out. The three stories in this book pick-up after Aliens, the sequel to the original film and follow Hicks, Newt, and Ridley as they try to recover from the events that have exposed them to the Xenomorphs. What follows is a winding path of revenge, evolution, hatred, fear, and some kind of personal redemption.
This collection isn't perfect, the third story begins to unwind and spiral out and isn't the satisfying end I really wanted. Nevertheless, this collection is a great start for fans of the Alien series who may want to try some of the comics that helped establish Dark Horse as a comics company.

This can't be canon due to Engineers looking way different. But was interesting the religion based on the Aliens and stuff. Was an okay read.
