The Rundown: Zasha learns some shocking secrets about her parents as aliens overrun the facility.
Dayton is stuck on a ship beneath the ice and can only watch as the aliens swarm the base. The Weyland soldiers look desperately for a way off the planet as everything falls apart around them and the corporate rep finds himself running out of options.
As Zasha and Beyta look for a way off the planet, Beyta reveals something about her unborn child that will change everything. As Dayton finds a way back, more shocking secrets will be revealed.
The Story: There are some huge reveals and revelations made throughout this issue and the impending invasion of aliens on the base is a fantastic part of the story. I really love this issue and how surprising everything in it was. Every page was filled with new and exciting moments and Shalvey delivered not only terror and thrills, but shocks along the way.
The Art: Broccardo delivers some powerful and beautifully tense imagery throughout the issue. The visuals are great and play in brilliantly with the tense and terrifying story.
