Loving The Alien

SCI-FACT!

Starting in April, Marvel is also collecting Dark Horse’s Alien comics as Alien: The Original Years Omnibus.

AFTER OVER THREE decades at Dark Horse, Alien is invading Marvel Comics next month. Written by Philip Kennedy Johnson and illustrated by Salvador Larocca, the new monthly title represents an all-new starting point for readers old and new.

“For the many fans of the Dark Horse books, I don’t think our series expressly contradicts anything in or will have plenty of familiar elements to latch onto in our series, but even if we get some readers who have never seen an film, it should be a good place to jump on. If we convince some readers to watch those movies either to get ready for our book or immediately after reading it, I’ll be thrilled about that.”
