ALIEN: Marvel Comics Takes The Franchise To Bone-Chilling New Depths In Upcoming Comic Book Series

Marvel Comics continues to expand the Alien franchise on the page, this time with a new series that will put the Xenomorph in unfamiliar surroundings for what sounds like its deadliest hunt to date...

Following the acquisition of many big franchises in the Disney/Fox merger, it was back in 2021 that Marvel Comics first dared to venture into the terrifying, unrelenting world of Alien. Along the way, the publisher explored never-before-seen corners of the iconic horror/science-fiction franchise much to the delight of longtime fans and newcomers alike.

This bold age of Alien comics storytelling will continue this April with an all-new ongoing series by superstar creators Declan Shalvey and Andrea Broccardo. The pair will continue the riveting work that Phillip Kennedy Johnson and artists Salvador Larroca and Julius Ohta began as they uncover dark new horrors of the Alien mythos.

It's said that this exciting new chapter of the Alien legacy will introduce a new cast of characters on a remote world in search of a groundbreaking scientific breakthrough. However, they'll have to quickly decide if their mission is worth it when night falls and they find themselves hunted by the legendary Xenomorph. 

Scientist Batya Zahn will do just about anything to get her family off the icy moon where they’ve been conducting research on water conservation. But there's more than glacial springs to find in this forgotten corner of the galaxy. When they discover an extraordinary organism buried in the ice, it won't take long for tensions to heat up. What is hidden in the snow comes forth in the thaw...and no one will be welcoming this spring.

"It's incredibly exciting to take on such a brilliant franchise...the potential for great stories is limitless," Shalvey says. "I feel like the themes from the films remain quite relevant to today, which makes me feel like we're able to tell contemporary stories set in that iconic universe."

"I'm very much hoping to channel the mood and atmosphere of those films while doing something new and Andrea has done an incredible job of putting the reader in that recognizable world. With this new series, I think we have a really interesting addition to the lore of Alien."

The first issue of Alien arrives in comic book stores on April 26, and you can check out some cover art by Dike Ruan, Declan Shalvey, and Gabrielle Dell'Otto below.
