Just over two weeks ago we finally got details of Marvel’s debut Alien series. And now that the solicitations for March 2021 are here we now have further plot details about what to expect from Phillip Kennedy Johnson’s series. Beware minor spoilers.
Gabriel Cruz gave his life to Weyland-Yutani–In the case of an alien attack he barely survived, almost literally! Recently retired, Cruz is trying to patch things up with his abandoned son with the help of his friend, a Bishop-model android, but his re-entry into civilian life is not going smoothly…and his encounters with the deadly Xenomorph are far from over.

In addition to InHyuk Lee’s previously revealed cover art, we also know that Aliens #1 will have a total of 14 covers, some of which you can see below!
The first issue will also be a bumper sized issue, weighing in at 40 pages. We don’t yet have a specific release date though. Thanks to Ultramorph for the heads up!

Honestly, that's fine by me. I've a fond spot for the
Spoiler
Any idea how much Dark Horse paid Sigourney Weaver to use her likeness in the original Female War comic?
Could the comics use characters from the movies? Would there be any difficulties using the likenesses of Schwarzenegger as Dutch or Weaver as Ripley?
The number 3 issue is tentatively scheduled to release May 26th.

Havent preordered anything, will wait until they release a collection/volume or whatever you wanna call the book where you have the whole story in one book, hate one issue paperbacks.... But will wait and see what fans will say and reviews before buying, waiting isnt a problem.
IF its good and honors the alien lore and keeps the same level as dark horse: then I buy, if its crap and dishonoring the alien franchise which it seems so far: wont buy any marvel alien comic.
I vote with my wallet
That's precisely why it should be analysed. They've been shooting themselves in the foot from the outset.
The artist clearly has some very real skill, but also very clearly doesn't give a f**k.
I'm annoyed at the facial expression in one panel and worried that the hooves will clop on the ceiling, but honestly, I think it looks good overall too. I'm looking forward to this.
Again, as long as another comic artist isn't being stolen from, I don't really care how the art was composed. I can't help but wonder if we'd be analyzing this so hard if it weren't for the Greg/Tristan situation getting us all pissed off.
I think it looks amazing.
McNiven is fantastic. I love his work.
Have not you seen Marvel Free Previews #7 (January for March 2021)?
I've got some bad news...
Hopefully, the interior artwork will be as good.
They look gorgeous too.
Love it, love everything about it.

Thanks to Perfect Organism Podcast for the share on this one.

According to the Previews Order book April 21st is the estimated ship date for issue 2
Love these two!
Words.
My idiot self didn't realise these new covers had been coming from soliciations.
So these covers are for #3.
No actual release dates for either #2 or #3 on the solicitations though.
Hope it's not a trace in job, cos it's nice.
It's a bit sad that Marvel has brought it on themselves that as soon as we see new art we start wondering where it's been nicked from.
This looks completely original
I pray to God this is not traced. Because, before being proven otherwise, I must say that's damn beatiful cover

Inhyuk Lee
Finished this off last week. He didn't really go into too many specifics (obviously) but he seems like a really cool bloke who gets it. Really looking forward to his first issue.
