"Mother, this is an official GR30 command podcast."

Correction: Larry reminded us that Ash did not cut into the base of the facehugger's tail in ALIEN. But that doesn't mean Neal suddenly likes Incubus.

"Aw crem -- podcasts! We've been made! Zook 'em!"

Correction: Listener Stewart reminded us that in the Aliens extended edition the xenomorphs retreat from the autoturrets, so actually this comic is perfect.

Catch up on the previous episodes in our podcast feed:

"They had been busy in this new universe. Cleansing it. Microscopic podcasts that lasted for only picoseconds. Just long enough to erase an infected world from existence."

SPOILERS FOR ISSUES #1 -3 (Obviously) and possible spoilers for Thunderbolts* and Daredevil Born Again at the end of the episode, but we dropped in a spoiler warning, and also who cares?

"The White Queen originally suspected he'd, once again, manipulated his genetic code... A few days ago I tore one in half and discovered that he's carrying one of their podcasts around in his chest."

SPOILERS FOR ISSUES #1 and #2
