First announced back in June, Aliens: Colonial Marines – Rising Threat was set to act as a tie-in to Cold Iron Studios upcoming Aliens “persistent online shooter,” and as a sequel to Mira Grant’s Alien: Echo which would have continued the story of Olivia Shipp.
Now, following several accusations of predatory and inappropriate behaviour being directed at Brian Wood, the series writer, Dark Horse Comics has cancelled the upcoming title. In a statement to The Beat, Dark Horse said:
“Effective immediately, Dark Horse will not pursue any new projects with Brian Wood. Dark Horse has cancelled the upcoming series Aliens Colonial Marines: Rising Threat.”
It’s unknown if Dark Horse will look to pursue the title with a different writer. Forum member Xiggz456 suggested Mira Grant (the pen-name of Seanan McGuire), who currently writes Spider-Gwen/Ghost-Spider for Marvel, take over penning duties and that is something I’d love to see!
Having written a significant portion of the recent Alien stories, Brian Wood’s latest series Rescue is currently halfway through its release. It’s unknown if the remainder of Aliens: Rescue will be released but the additional issues are still on Dark Horse’s website, whereas all entries for Rising Threat have been removed.

Well, it's still subjective I guess . Thanks for civility
So it's not his fault he sexually assaulted women by using his position - it's everyone else's fault for calling him out on it.
Sexual violation is a popular topic because it should be. Too many men got away with their bullshit for too long. If all they do is lose their job, they should think themselves lucky.
If you think it's not important enough and just a distraction then you're part of the f**king problem and should f**k all the way off and get better '"subjective opinions".
But I think it's not a way to improve a person. Turning the man into absolute monster, shouting "guilty, guilty !" without even trying to understand where the problem comes from probably solves this particular case but not the problem of
sexual harassments in general
And sexual violation is popular ( and perhaps won't be in another 5 -10 years ) topic nowadays that helps to distract society's attention from more important problems.
Purely my subjective opinion .

I don't know about you but that should be motivation enough not to f**king do it in the first place maybe? =_=
Plenty of other humans managed to go throughout their entire life without violating others for personal gain.
"But..." what?
Sorry if this is opening a can of worms but I've never heard of those two projects before what were those?
No life signs.
Except the cover art Tristan Jones has already shared.
This.
Supposedly he was contributing to the story on Defiance. I thought that noticeably and dramatically dropped when he left. Coincidence?
1+1 = 2
Tristan Jones + Aliens = DH $$$
'Cos he told me the story he wanted to tell and it sounded pretty cool.
Wow people...imagine a 5-10 year Tristan Jones run on Alien comics...
If only someone would make some calls.

BIG THUMBS UP
Ive already messaged DH numerous times on the topic.
Dark Horse, can you please take a serious look at this picture. This is exactly what Alien(s) should be. Just dump everyone working on Aliens and GIVE EVERYTHING TO TRISTAN JONES ALREADY, heck give him the story, the penciling, the art, the drawing, the colors, the editing, the publishing, the delivering, the sorting and whatever the f**k else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If ya'll don't want anymore of these mickey mouse stories and horrible art in your Alien comics, send a tweet to Dark Horse to give some work to Tristan Jones already, been screaming about this since Defiance, not sure what they don't understand.
My anger comes after reading Resistance, that crapola sucked. Both the art and the useless dumb story and glad Brian Wood has been shown the door.
Predictable ace work from Tristan.
