Comic Book Resources have uploaded an interview they conducted with Chris Roberson, the writer behind Dark Horse’s new Aliens relaunch series:
“In the first phone conversation I had with Scott Allie, we both established that we were more interested in the kind of haunted house vibe of the first film than the guns and ammo feel of the second film. As much as I like both of them, I feel like the secondary franchise tie-in stuff — whether it be comics or video game or whatever — has focused more on the colonial space marines aspect of this since “Aliens” came out.”

As well as that the article mentions a mystery series: “Roberson will team with artist Patric Reynolds for “Aliens” as part of a relaunched line of comics, alongsideJoshua Williamson’s “Predators,” Paul Tobin’s “Prometheus” and Chris Sebela’s “AVP” — as well as one more mystery title — and creative team — yet to be announced.”
The new series are due out around July 2014. Thanks to Ultramorph for the tip.
