Aliens #5 (1988) Dark Horse Comics Review | The Earth War Saga

Aliens #5 (1988) Dark Horse Comics Review — This issue follows the collapse of the Benedict mission as betrayal, synthetic deception, and Xenomorph escalation push the Earth War saga deeper into chaos. Hicks is imprisoned aboard the Benedict, while the remaining Marines are deployed planetside on the alien homeworld as bait in a high-risk containment operation against the Xenomorph hive. As the mission unravels, a devastating truth is revealed about the Marine contingent under Hicks’ command. Nothing aboard the Benedict is as it appeared. In the final moments, a new alien force enters the conflict, shifting the balance of the encounter and pushing the Earth War narrative into an even more unpredictable phase. ❓ Was the real horror the Xenomorph hive… or the fact that almost no one aboard the Benedict was ever who they appeared to be?
