The Xenomorphs' New Way to Reproduce is So Much Worse Than Chestbursters
Warning: Spoilers ahead for Alien #10
The newest issue of the Alien comic series from Marvel Comics has unveiled a new version of the Xenomorph that has a unique way of reproducing, and it's far more horrifying than a Chestburster. Longtime fans of the Alien franchise are aware of the reproduction cycle of the iconic movie monster. Beginning its stage as an egg, a parasite nicknamed the «Facehugger» latches itself to a host, wrapping itself around its face. After a short period, it detaches itself and dies. While things seem to be normal after the experience, a baby Xenomorph will then burst from the subject's chest after a short incubation time, hence the name «Chestburster.» From there, the baby Xenomorph grows quickly to adult size, creates new eggs and the cycle begins anew. Now, there's a new sub-species of the Xenomorph out there, and it's making the original cycle seem like child's play.
Alien #10 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Salvador Larrocapicks up where the last left off with the small band of survivors fleeing to Beta Station after being overrun by aliens. When they arrive, they find the place abandoned. The only potential lead is an old mine not too far from the station. Deciding it would be better to just head to the next station in hopes of finding other survivors, the group packs up and gets into a truck...with one exception. A survivor named Simon insists they investigate the mines to find someone he knows and steals a gun to make sure he can. When he enters the mine, what he finds is something absolutely horrifying.
