Up to this point people, understandably, had no reason to expect nudity in this series since, until now, it had the same rating as the Faith comic...
Dammit, now you made think of Faith nude....not cool, dude....not cool...

I've been looking everywhere for the ultra-rare Turok vs Blister issue. Anybody able to help me out?

It’s a little jarring to see some occasional nudity in the Alien books but it’s nothing to get upset about as far as I’m concerned.

I don’t personally care if it’s there or not - it doesn’t really impact my enjoyment of the story either way, but if it is hamfisted I would find it to be a rather immature & pointless usage. Anything I’ve seen so far hasn’t been in poor taste, although I haven’t read the comic with naked Flamingo in it yet.

Some of the uproar over on Facebook about it was getting a little bit ridiculous, it’s not up to comic book companies to monitor/edit their content for what people’s kids might see - but I would agree that the books should probably contain a clear Mature Readers warning on the covers as a basic rule of thumb.

It could be more visible for sure.

For all intents and purposes, Shan is naked here, but because the details are scarce it's not as noticeable as other instances of nudity.

This would be another example of undefined nudity.
