Mignola's famous drawing style gives the alien franchise a whole new spin. Combined with Kevin Nowlan's inks and Matt Hollingsworth's colours it creates a different kind of creep - the creepy we know and love from Hellboy. But here, there's no witty remarks, just desperation and gore. The religious theme might not be everyone's cup of tea. I read it more as a critique on the false promise of salvation by belief, especially with the last page.

Fans of alien and/or mignola: this is a must read!

giant days continues to be fun, sweet, dorky and full of drama.

So, so great!

This volume deals with war mostly, but also with perspective on life. I just love how this whole thing is narrated and drawn!

I'm rather new to batwoman and her story. Only knew the alternative version of bombshells. This was a great way for me to start. It shows Kate Kane's path, it speaks openly about her being a lesbian without making it the centerpiece of her struggle and it's a way grounded.

the parts that I didn't like: the villain in this one is too much of a joker type and the connection between the both is a bit too...well..too much of a coincidence. Kate's soldierism was also too much for me. but maybe that's just because I personally am not a fan of military stuff.

The art by Williams III. is great, especially with the layout of the panels. However, what makes it really stunning is Dave Stewarts colouring. Batwoman's black and red is like a storm of blood and force.
