New ‘Alien’ Comic Book out this April
In 2021, Marvel Comics brought us a bold new take on the ALIEN franchise by introducing a brand new storyline which involved the harvesting and study of the infamously terrifying xenomorph and as we all know – it’s never a good idea to mess around with the xenomorphs – because in space, no one can hear you scream.
Now, in April, Marvel Comics will be introducing a brand new, ongoing ALIEN 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.

About this new ‘Alien’ Comic Book
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. 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 said.
“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.”
ALIEN #1 goes on sale April 26th, 2023.
