When Disney acquired 20th Century Fox, the rights to create comic books based on Fox properties like Alien and Predator ended up in the hands of Marvel Comics. Coming from the creative team of writer Philip Kennedy Johnson and artist Salvador Larroca, Marvel's Alien #1 will arrive on store shelves on March 24th, and in anticipation of the release Marvel has put a trailer online.
The trailer is embedded above, and judging by this Alien #1 looks like it's going to be a pretty cool book.
The story Johnson and Larroca are telling here 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.
The cover art created by InHyuk Lee can be seen below. The coloring in Alien #1 was handled by Guru-eFX.
