DC Comics/Dark Horse: Aliens by Bernie Wrightson, Ian Edginton, Chris Sprouse, Kevin Nowlan, Jimmy Broxton, Staz Johnson, Ron Marz

3.0

This one is a bit of a mixed bag. The two best stories in it for me were the first Batman vs Aliens story, and the WildCATS vs Aliens story - the latter of which is an AU work rather than one intended to fit in with the main Stormwatch comic I think, based on the deaths of several notable characters. The second Batman vs Aliens story was interesting, right up to the point where

hybrid alien-villain creatures trained as special forces in a secret project appeared

at which point it felt like the story was going from creepy to ... well, silly. The Superman and Batman vs Aliens and Predator story suffered from art I didn't particularly like, and a story that felt as if it was being drawn out for longer than really felt necessary, although it was interesting seeing Batman and Superman comparing notes based on their past encounters.
