The July solicitations for Dark Horse Comics are now available on Comic Book Resources. With July’s update we get our first look at the covers and synopsis for Aliens: Defiance #4, Prometheus: Life and Death #2 and Predator vs. Judge Dredd vs. Aliens #1. Beware some story spoilers!
Massimo Carnevale’s cover art for Aliens: Defiance #4.
“Colonial Marine Private Zula Hendricks is AWOL deep in space along with the combat synthetic Davis 01, chasing the trail of the xenomorph threat. But in the eerie quiet of a space graveyard the ghosts of her past are catching up with her, and Weyland-Yutani isn’t far behind.”
David Palumbo’s cover art for Prometheus: Life and Death #2.
“The Engineer’s ship finally makes planetfall, and the Colonial Marine stowaways find themselves on a world even more deadly than the one they left behind! The Life and Death story cycle becomes the sequel to Fire and Stone as the characters end up on LV-223—the planet of Prometheus!”
Prometheus: Life and Death #2 is due July 13th. Aliens: Defiance #4 and Predator vs. Judge Dredd vs. Aliens #1 is due July 27th. Thanks to Ultramorph for the news.

Not as good as the interior art but I still think they're decent.
Liking the sound of the synopsis too.
Thanks for the share Ultramorph.
Ah nice thx again.
As great as Defiance is I'm really not liking most of their covers. That is one shitty looking Alien. Looks like the Alien from the Life & Death series or some other poorly drawn alien comic with the wide open jaw. It sucks 2/10. Thank God the inside is 10/10.
As for the L&D cover...it's as good as it's story. I think it's time to tell the guy at the shop to stop keeping me this series and just get me the TPB. It doesn't deserve to be bought twice in both formats like Defiance and Dead Orbit soon.

Also, some of those AVP covers are sweet. I wonder if one will be another 30th anniversary deal?
He should also do a cover for the life and death fancypantz edition, if they do one.
Same here. Some of the worst covers I've ever seen.
Thanks! 3 Alien titles that month

I got my Prometheus #1 issue finally, that Dorman cover is the bee's knee's. The issue was alright, not much happened that I wasn't already expecting.
Hey, anyone know why Aliens: Defiance #3 is releasing in July? https://www.darkhorse.com/Comics/29-852/Aliens-Defiance-3
Thought it was June for sure. Might as well give in and buy Prometheus #1 instead of waiting for the TPB's than.
Looking at Fire and Stone Aliens numbers it sold just under 20,000 for issue one and didn't dip below 13,000 until issue four in comparison.
As for the question is it selling well? Aliens Defiance sold 16,000 in April in comparison (if that is even considered fair) Black Panther # 1, the top seller of the month, sold 253,000, Star Wars Poe Dameron # 1 sold 175,000 and was the second highest and Dark Knight III Master Race sold 143,000 and placed third. But Aliens did outsell well known series like James Bond and Back to the Future along with Injustice to name a few. So personally, I believe the numbers are around where Dark Horse projected them to be.

ALIENS #1 sold very well and ranked #103 in the Top 300 of comics sold in May:
#103 - ALIENS #1 (OF 4) $3.50 DAR 19,598 (Estimated quantities)
http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/15147.html
It's also the 4th best selling comic in May for Dark Horse.
Eh....you would think that a relaunch of a series like Aliens would do better.
19,500 is very good in todays plunging comic marketplace.
The Dark Horse/Star Wars comics sell in the early 20,000 range and those are thier best sellers. The last Indiana Jones mini series from last year only sold 14,000 and that had a movie in theaters to promote it. These numbers are better than I thought.
I think these high "Aliens" numbers will hopefully convince them to produce more regular monthly Aliens books soon. The "Predator" first issue numbers should be available in a few weeks.
I have no idea lol, I was just going off of Nostromo's reaction to the numbers.
What kind of numbers are considered successful?
Thanks. Hopefully get chance to listen to this today.

Found it, Nostomo posted this:
If i had money I would buy a bunch of copies and hand them out lol
PS: come to think of it it's probably just the top one that looks like that because of how it's been held away with force and trying to balance itself. Whoever drew that has great insight to actually bend it's legs like that..great stuff.

Ah, OK. Thanks, I wasn't aware they were doing one!
You'd kinda have to, seeing as it's basically part one of a four-part story.
I wasn't aware there was a tpb of Aliens/Vampirella at all, hardcover or otherwise.
Anyone know if there's an Aliens/Vampirella softcover TPB in the works. Can't stand hardcovers for some unknown reason.
Same for the WY report.
Thanks for the August Alien comic lineup!
I wonder if they actually have a plan for the accelerant this time.
Why do I have this weird feeling that he's gonna drop that ampule?
Really awesome covers, I cannot wait to read these!

If there was a Big Deletion post Resurrection (putting aside that such a thing would be redundant), surely Liliya would have either been affected or at least know about it?
