Simon Bisley-illustrated “Reapers” is perhaps the least effective, although it does boast Bisley’s trademark art, as well as a humorous flourish at the end. The special is concluded with “The Alien,” a final chapter in Aliens: Earth War in which mankind arranges to repopulate an Earth overrun by Aliens. fantastic high quality full color graphic novel printed on bright glossy paper stock.
