Picked up Aliens: Labyrinth on Beastie’s reckymend for two bucks on Comixology. Hoooo-leeeee shit. That is some gruesome goodness. I wondered whether the last page might be splash of a xenomorph in Stan Lee shades exclaiming “And that’s why we hadda call this one: The Aristocrats!” But alas, no last page levity to lighten my spirits. Just a black mold of nihilism festering at my soul. LOVED IT.

Beast’s comment of “Walk or Die” and its children in terrible situations reminded me of the brilliant “Drifting Classroom” by Kazuo Umezu; if you haven’t read it, I think you may like it a lot.
