Those acid-blooded Xenomorphs are back.
One woman fights to save Earth from the most horrific monsters in science fiction history in a brand new Aliens series from Dark Horse Comics.
At the Dark Horse: CLASSIFIED! panel at New York Comic Con, writer Brian Wood (The Massive, Rebels) and artist Tristan Jones (Mad Max: Fury Road, TMNT) were announced as the creative team on Aliens: Defiance. The new ongoing series comes just in time to celebrate the anniversary of Aliens.
“Alien was groundbreaking when it first debuted, and has only grown in relevance and pop culture legend since,” said Wood.
“Thirty-seven years is an impressive amount of time for any entertainment property to thrive, much less still top mainstream headlines and fuel speculation like it does. It’s an honor to be invited to add to that legend.”
In space, no one can hear you scream . . . Aliens: Defiance follows struggling Colonial Marine rookie Zula Hendricks as she goes AWOL to protect Earth from an unknown alien species.
“Few films are as timelessly terrifying and the fact that it continues to grip audiences and affect them beyond any of its successors and imitators (of which there are plenty) is the strongest testament to how truly transcendent everything that went into, and came out of, Alien is,” added Jones. “Being asked to be a part of something so defining, and so instrumental to the creative development of not just me, but so many, many others, is a lifelong dream come true.”
Aliens: Defiance #1 (of 12) arrives April 27, 2016.
