I thought it was ok but it seems Hickman is going for the sci-fi aspect and not the horror of the Aliens franchise. Comparing it to WildC.A.T.S. vs Aliens, which actually wiped out a good chunk of StormWatch, putting it in a future timeline really lowers the stakes.
Personally, I feel like Hickman has solid ideas but his stories continuity moves forward too fast and it always feels like I’m missing an issue between issues. I’m going to wait until the series finishes so I can read the whole thing in one sitting.
