Though Aliens: Resistance is currently in the middle of its run, it seems Dark Horse Comics has more adventures in store for us featuring Amanda Ripley and Zula Hendricks. Coming exclusively from SyFy Wire, Aliens: Rescue has just been announced. This new comic will serve as a continuation of the story after the events of Resistance. Here’s the synopsis:
“Aliens: Rescue, a new four-issue mini-series dropping this May, revolves around a mission featuring Alec Brand, the rescued colonist turned Colonial Marine.
Alec won’t be alone though, as the popular tag-team of Amanda Ripley and Zula Hendricks will be at his side when he returns to the moon he was rescued from, now fully infested with xenomorphs. The story serves as a continuation from the Resistance story, as there will be plenty of development of Amanda and Zula, and a deeper exploration into the world shaped by Weyland-Yutani.”
Brian Wood, who wrote both the Defiance and Resistance comics, will also be scripting Rescue. This time he’s joined by artist Kieran McKeown for the pencils, and artists Mack Chater and Roberto De La Torre for the covers. Check out the cover for the first issue below.

The first issue for Aliens: Rescue will drop on May 22nd, not long after the conclusion of the Resistance comic (#4) on April 24th.
There certainly seems to be quite a bit of Amanda Ripley focused content in store for us this year, with the mysterious ‘Watch’ part of FOX’s #ReadPlayWatch teases still yet to be revealed.

Synopsis doesn't give much away.
LOL yea, same here, usually they are available within a week or so, will keep checking, can't wait for Dust to Dust to arrive in May with Resistance and x's Alien 3 TPB both coming in August. Will order it with the new Terminatr TPB, feel guilty for not getting the issues but I like TPB's better on bookshelves.
I don't know, but I keep checking every few days and all I find is stuff like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Alien-Rescue-Latrothian-Warrior-Book-ebook/dp/B01LZ8ERA9/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=aliens+rescue&qid=1552930735&s=gateway&sr=8-2
That's three things.
I'd call Rescue part 4... but I assume the OP is discounting the mobile game.
That hasn't stopped Ridley Scott in recent years.
Thank you David Fincher for Alien³'s existence, for restriction of inferior conclusions and ideas commensurate.
The author's dead anyway.
So is Ellen Ripley.
I thought you enjoyed the film -the idea it "Demeans everything" is the adverse.
Regardless the thread is concerning a new story (and a new character), not a old story.
Where's the head-shaking emoji?
Incorrect.
Alien³ enhances Aliens & Alien.
As The Cold Forge & Isolation strengthens them all.
Anyway...
Alien 3 demeans everything..
I guess they could do that, but it'd make that scene a little less meaningful to Ellen's story, from what we knew at the time Amanda had a normal life, and Ellen missed it all because she was in hyper sleep for 57 years. Her marriage possible grandkids birth, etc. She missed all of this and when she finds Newt on LV-426 it makes protecting her and being called Mom all the more meaningful as she gets a second chance as being the parent she couldn't be for Amanda.
As long as the story and art is good they can take all the time it takes...
Logically enough, cannot deny it. But personally i'm gonna to stay suspicious untill comics have came out.
I don't understand how it's rushed?
I was talking about Blackout, Resistance and Rescue.
Rushed? Isolation is four and half years old.
Death sentence? No.

I don't know why but this makes me...uncomfortable.
Yeah I'll definitely be sticking with the regular cover.

So you won't be wanting it back then...?
There was an Alien in the old arcade game that used to roll into battle, wasn't there?
Cauldron was the worst for mine. Painful characters delivering painful dialogue. The chest trick was the only positive I can remember.
Definitely some very interesting Xenomorph-less avenues that deserve exploring.
From what I remember No Exit's problems were not a lack of Aliens but from that crazy ass last third where a fella went around beating Aliens up with his fists. That would have been the best of DH Press' run if it wasn't for that stupid last third. I remember rather enjoying Cauldron, though. I always remember that blowing through the chest trick.
I agree. I definitely think there's room for Alien-less stories in the Alien universe - whether that's full novels or part of anthologies. I don't even think it needs to be ET-less. I'd be curious to see novels that further expand on what Prometheus setup or see the Neomorphs explored.
No, not at all. Just sayin'. If we're talking broad strokes, you can definitely spoil a story by knowing the ending. I thought Isolation was great. Her journey was so good, I am looking forward to reading a novelization of it, as well as watch a 7-part animated series about it. ;-)
