Picked up this rare issue from the bargain bin. Dark Horse provides readers with an exciting Aliens Special, featuring two all-new stories by two great creative teams. Grendel Tales and X-wing Rogue Squadron writer Darko Macan and Punisher and X-Men artist Frank Teran tell the tale of a Colonial Marine sent to clean out an infestation. He's got a job to do, a pulse bomb with a 45-second detonator, and the clock's ticking. Then, in "Elder Gods," a religious sect uncovers what they believe to be a holy idol. But everything turns to holy hell when they realize the true nature of the enormous statue! Swamp Thing writer Nancy A. Collins and Negative Burn artist Leif Jones offer a twisted story about the strength -- and weakness -- of blind faith.
Finished this one shot. Pretty good read.
