It was announced last year that Marvel Comics acquired the rights to the Alien and Predator franchises, previously in the hands of Dark Horse Comics. As Marvel prepares to release Alien #1 on March 24th, the company has given fans a taste of what is to come in a brand new trailer.
“42 Years Later and Still…No One…Can Hear…You Scream…”
Alien #1 comes from writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson and artist Salvador Larroca, with a cover by InHyuk Lee and colors by Guru-eFX. Marvel.com reveled, “The new series will introduce readers to Gabriel Cruz who years ago almost literally gave his life to Weyland-Yutani when he barely survived an alien attack. Recently retired, Cruz is trying to patch things up with his abandoned son with the help of his friend, a Bishop-model android, but his re-entry into civilian life is not going smoothly…and his encounters with the deadly Xenomorph are far from over. No one is safe. No one is innocent. And no one can hear you scream.”

Alien has seen a number of crossovers in past comics, including stories featuring Vampirella, Batman, Superman, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Terminator, and even Judge Dredd. Now that the series is with Marvel, it is unknown what type of crossover comic events fans will see, if any. We can at least hope for an updated Alien vs Predator crossover with new storylines, and possibly a reboot of the AvP film franchise. Fingers are crossed!
