Aliens: Salvation by Matt Hollingsworth, Mike Mignola, Clem Robins, Dave Gibbons, Kevin Nowlan
3.0
Loved the art, but the story was too short, and I hated the long monologue that made up the bulk of the text. The main character was pretty annoying, and even as a devout religious person myself, I find his incessant, overly dramatic prayer to be grating on my nerves. He just was not interesting. He seemed too one dimensional, and even now as I am typing this review, I have a hard time remembering his name.
Forgettable story, lack of any interesting characters, and a questionable motive for the villain all add up to a pretty disappointing tale.
The only thing rescuing this book from being completely awful is the art by Mignola. His art style works great with the grittiness of the Alien universe. The art alone earns the stars for this book.
I would recommend this to people who love Mignola's style. If you don't, then this book is an absolute waste of time.
