Dark Horse is publishing a new Aliens book, this the first one since Fast Track to Heaven in August 2010:

“On a distant, frozen world, "artificial persons" are manufactured in discreet seclusion. With formidable new security synthetics coming online, how better to test their mettle than against a hive of deadly xenomorphs? But as Socialization Specialist Jean DuPaul sees her ever-more-human android charges sent to their destruction, she learns that the most savage species in the universe is man.”

Inhuman Conditions collects the Aliens story written by John Layman, drawn by Sam Kieth and published in Dark Horse Presents #12-17. According to Dark Horse’s website the novella is currently due for release on the 10th of April 2013. Thanks to predxeno for the news.

Awesome! Would really love some new Aliens novels, but this should be cool.

What is a graphic novella? Just a short graphic novel? Or is it more like the Aliens book Tribes, words with illustrations?

Corporal Hicks

Just a short contained book. Like Fast Track to Heaven.  :)

Jay Thomas

Cool thx. I didn't love Fast Track to Heaven, but this one looks promising.

I wonder if we'll ever get more Aliens novels... It would be great to read one with hints of Engineer/Prometheus content.

This is a collected reprint of the story that recently ran in Dark Horse Presents.

Cool. Thanks for the news. More from this Aliens stuff please ;)

I can't wait to read this since I didn't want to get Dark Horse Presents for just one story.

Excellent. Always look forward to more material. I actually liked Fast Track to Heaven, even if it wasn't the best Aliens story I ever read.

Id like to see a resurgence in the aliens dark horse universe. Possibly another omnibus. My fingers are crossed

Seeing as how they're losing the Star Wars license, one of their biggest moneymakers, I wouldn't be surprised if they started dipping back into the Aliens/AvP/Predator stuff to pick up the slack.

It'd be nice to get some quality stuff out though. Recent releases were hit-and-miss for most.

predxeno

Yeah, I miss all the releases now; even if they sucked. :(

Honestly, I'm all over new stuff, even if it's not actually new material. I guess I'm just a die-hard fan.

I would love to write my own Aliens/Predator/AvP novel and get it published. Hell, for my Creative Writing class, I came up with an Aliens story I toyed with for a few weeks. It wasn't that good and I reread a portion of it the other day with much dismay but I think I could do it someday.

Follow your dreams.

Write original stuff first, then try for licensed stuff.
