A few days ago has been Disney into the hands of the predator project of the new work determined, and we know that the new alien movie is also in preparation, not only in the film field, in the field of comics, Disney also has a new action, we all know that the previous alien and predator comic rights in the hands of Dark Horse Comics, earlier this year these two IP comic rights were obtained by the Marvel Comics department, when Marvel announced that it would create a new alien comic, but at that time it was only a plan, Apart from the release of several linked comic cover images, no specific plans have been revealed.
And now, Marvel Comics has officially announced that it will launch a new alien comic, which belongs to Marvel's "ALIEN #1", and the comic cover is officially exposed:
The comic will be written by Philip F. Kennedy Johnson (Empire: Captain America) and drawn by Salvador A. Thompson. La Rocca (Doctor Doom), the official story synopsis goes like this—
The film will be characterized by an employee of the Wieland-Yutani Company (also meaning mercenary, which is unclear), named Gabriel Thompson. Cruz, when his child is in danger, he must fight a new type of alien to the death.
It is said that marvel's intention this time is to make the Alien series into a serial series, like other Marvel superhero comics, and then have a relatively independent core story at each stage, and the working name of this first story seems to be Bloodlines/Spring (Chinese the name I blindly translated).
Neither author has written or written alien comics before, but Philip F. Kennedy Johnson has previously written "Resurrection" of the Marvel Zombie series for Marvel Comics, so he knows a lot about the horror elements.
Of course, the more noticeable thing in this story is the new type of alien, whether it is a comic or a movie, the image of the alien has actually been changing, but some will make relatively large adjustments, and then make some special settings, such as the alien queen set in the movie "Alien 2", the reverse species set in "Alien 4", and the predator set in "Alien vs Predator 2",
The alternative aliens in the comics are even more numerous, I don't know what brain holes will be opened this time, but since it is the "inaugural issue", I personally think that this time will not be as exaggerated as the reverse species, and it is said that the alien shape this time will be more biased towards the original design concept of the alien image designer Giger, after all, in order to facilitate shooting in "Alien 1", it is necessary to design the alien leather case more suitable for actors to wear, and the original design of Giger will be different.
Comics out of the new, movies out of the new, everything seems to be back to the beginning, alien and predator comics by dark horse, the movie by Fox Pictures launched, but the times have changed after all, now everything is in the hands of Mickey Mouse, although Disney is indeed good at creating new series, maybe in its hands the future Predator and Alien will get new development, but still need to give us nostalgic people a little time to adapt.
The Marvel-launched Alien comic is scheduled to launch in March next year.
