Book excerpt: Colonial Marine Private First Class Zula Hendricks is on an AWOL mission to prove her mettle by eradicating the alien species before they can be exploited as weapons on Earth. She must battle with aliens, fend off space pirates, and elude the insidious Weyland-Yutani corporation that wants their freighter back, all while facing rehabilitation from an old war injury. New York Times best-selling comics writer Brian Wood gives us a gripping story of strength going up against staggering fears. The talented artist Tristan Jones brings these fears to life.
