I received this from Edelweiss and Dark Horse Comics in exchange for an honest review.

The Aliens universe is my favorite science fiction universe, more so than even Star Trek or Star Wars. I've watched the movies, read most of the books and comics, and listened to the audiobooks. The universe is well-developed and usually well-written.

That being said, I'm not sure how to rate this volume. It didn't come close to the normal level of intensity seen in Alien books. It wasn't bad, but I just didn't care about the characters in this one. And there wasn't nearly enough of the aliens. They were there, but they weren't used in the plot as the hunters we normally see. ( )

Goodreads Synopsis:
Colonial Marine Private First Class Zula Hendricks is battling demons from her past while fighting for her life in the company of Weyland-Yutani synthetics. In deep space she is forced to question her strength and loyalty when the discovery of an insidious alien species on a derelict hauler sends her on a dangerous journey across the stars.

The New York Times best-selling comics writer, Brian Wood pens an epic space odyssey filled with gritty, fearless art by up and coming artist, Tristan Jones. They told you there were no monsters. They were wrong.

My Review:
I received a copy of Aliens Defiance Volume One from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.

I was really excited to see that I was approved for a copy of this! I love the movies so when I saw the cover and read the description I was really interested in getting this. Let me just say how much I love the cover for this, and just all the art in general. It looks amazing! I'm so glad I got the chance to read it.

The story follows Zula Hendricks, as she goes into a ship full of Xenomorphs with a synth. If you like the movies, you'll like this because it's that only in a super quick easy to read comic. It's bloody and thrilling and a good read all around. The art is dark and fits with the story well. What else is there to say? Definitely check it out for yourself.

Here's a link to the book on Amazon.
