The Rundown: Pearson fights to escape from the ship and its mutating crew.

Pearson wakes up in the medical bay and Harper is there to help her. Unfortunately, the help he offers comes at a price when she sees that the rest of the crew has been infected by the entity that came aboard and they want her to join them. After being thrown into another room, she discovers the twisted and mutated boy of Kate who tries to convince her to join them as they create a new human race.
Kate does her best to fight back and gives Liana time to find a way to escape. As she fights back, she discovers a means to hurt the creatures as the Captain fights his own brother. As Liana Pearson looks for a way to stop the creatures, she finds the Captain and the two team up to find a way to escape to the surface.
The Story: Andry and Daniel ramp up the action and thrills in this issue. I love the body horror elements and how the environment adds to the thrills and terror of the story. The story builds tension well and creates some truly terrifying and cinematic moments for the reader. The story is building on all the horror elements to an interesting cliffhanger that makes me excited to see how the conclusion unfolds.
The Art: Sanchez delivers fantastic art in the issue. The visuals are beautifully detailed and capture the mood and tone of the story as well as utilize the environment to ramp up the horror.
