Marvel Comics' Alien #1 - A Cinematic Horror Icon

The first trailer for the Marvel Comics’ Alien #1 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Salvador Larroca is here!

ALIEN is coming!

Marvel’s first attempt at entering into the thrilling, iconic, and terrifying world of ALIEN is coming next month. The comic will be an exploration of the unexplored corners in the Alien universe, and it will be entertaining for both longtime fans and newcomers to this sci-fi/horror world. Writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson and artist Salvador Larroca will tell a whole new story of titans who have scared audiences for over a decade now.

The official synopsis from Marvel for ALIEN is:

“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. See the terrors in store in this all-new thrilling trailer, featuring never-before-seen artwork from the highly anticipated issue.”

While talking about the series to Newsarama writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson said:

“As a lifelong superfan of the franchise, getting to write the launch of Marvel’s ALIEN was one of the biggest thrills of my writing career, ALIEN coming to Marvel feels like the beginning of a new era for the franchise, especially with the announcement of the upcoming TV series, and the gravity of being the first writer of that era is definitely not lost on me. After all the amazing work Marvel has done with the Star Wars franchise, I know the fans want to see greatness come from ALIEN as well, as they should. We’re all giving everything we have to deliver on that, and I’m confident fans will love what they see.”
