Following on from the announcement earlier this week that Reebok was releasing a new Colonial Marines themed pair of Bug Stompers for 2020’s Alien Day, we now know what else is in store for us this year.
Compared to recent years it’s much more subdued, with the Bug Stompers being the main attraction. Due to the current global quarantines in place, there’s obviously no screenings as we would usually expect. In addition to their Bug Stompers, Reebok also has two new Alien shirts that will be released on Alien Day.
Aliens vs. Pinball will also be 50% off and Alien: Blackout will be available for free as well! I still consider Blackout underappreciated and if you’re one of those who are still holding out, you can’t argue with a free download! Feral Interactive will also be running a sweepstakes via their social media for a chance to win copies of Dark Horse’s rare Alien: Isolation tie-in comic.
The fan community also has plenty planned. Alien vs. Predator Galaxy will be publishing an interview with Mark Verheiden, the writer of the very first original Alien comics that kicked off the Expanded Universe! The fan-comic Olethros will be publishing its 7th issue and the audio drama Charon will be releasing their 5th episode.
Check back in on Alien Day for our interview with comic legend Mark Verheiden!
Studio Yutani will be holding a giveaway with some pretty swanky prizes, as well as publishing three brand new interviews! I don’t believe Perfect Organism has announced any plans yet, but I would expect they’ll be releasing some content too.
Make sure you stick with Alien vs. Predator Galaxy for the latest Alien and Predator news! You can follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube to get the latest on your social media walls. You can also join in with fellow Alien and Predator fans on our forums!
Haha beat me to it
Sorry to burst your bubble but Hicks died on Fiorina 161 when the EEV carrying him, Ripley and Newt crashed there.
Other than that welcome and all the best!

I could have sworn that someone in this thread posted about the current offer on the Alien/Predator Collection at Eaglemoss but I looked back to thank whoever posted it and I can’t find it so maybe I saw it elsewhere.

Still have my fingers crossed for a new Audible audio drama but Dirk Maggs seems to have been working on Sandman lately instead.
Ahh yes, the official website that still lists Alien 3 as Aliens 3, and has done so for, quite literally, years.

Also, presumably Titan is aware of how popular Cold Forge is. So one would hope that would be the next book go get the audio treatment.
I’ve always been of the mind that authors and artists should take their time and put out a better finished product. Cold Forge is a longer book so it would stand to reason that it takes more time to produce the audio version. My two cents.
It did not. They just made the announcement on Alien Day.
Thanks! Looking forward to posting it. We did have a thread in the Lit board and a post on the Facebook group beforehand for submitted questions though.
Not that I'm aware of. We're not running any competition this year I'm afraid.
I don't believe last year's actually came out on Alien Day, so we might still be getting one, just later.
August 11th according to the email.
Would love to get some more info on the Alien: 40 Years 40 Artists book; I feel like I've had that thing pre-ordered for ages.
Erm? What was wrong with the Randy Stradley comic book script?
Or adapting any aliens vs predator PC game?
Or he should write a future Aliens film.
Hey, Hicks, any writing/fanart contests available for Alien Day?
Oh the best counter news to hearing the lockdown is extended for another 3 weeks.
Verheiden most notable for writing scripts for (but not drawing) the full-length Dark Horse comics
Book One (Hicks and Newt after ALIENS, outbreak on earth, evacuation of infected planet earth )
Book Two (Hicks and Newt after ALIENS, military sortie, human experimentation, escaping dictator general trying to retake earth with a "controlled" Xenomorph army)
ALIENS EARTH WAR (Ripley rejoins Hicks and Newt after prior outings, ambitious but abrupt premature conclusion to retaking earth)
To us OG's of ALIENS early releases these were the story ideas that should've, logically, came after aliens in movie form but which we didn't get. Despite David Giller pondering but rejecting spiritually similar movie ideas in tone and scale due to budget and the then technical limitations of special effects.
I'm hoping to hear Mark Verheiden thoughts on the substitutes- ALIEN 3, Resurrection and AVP 2004.
Where did we buy our Mark Verheiden comics? For me I was torn between a independent book/comic store and the retail chain ATHENA.
I kinda feel under the circumstances, they should have just skipped Alien Day altogether.
