4.0

If intense graphic violence and body horror are your kind of thing, then this is the graphic novel for you. Blending sci-fi with Lovecraftian horror, it's the story of a ship that's been missing for 40 years and the team that goes to run a salvage operation. Reminds me of several movies, Alien and Virus come to mind, also John Carpenter's The Thing (there's a couple of in-jokes about the movie in the cast of characters). The artwork by Stuart Immonen was excellent as usual, a very underrated artist.
