One thing I hope they change from the original script is
Spoiler
the two full grown aliens on board the Sulaco. I know they're just there as a means to write Ripley out of the story (she was supposed to return in the follow up iirc), but it made zero sense for them to be there. There's other, more believable ways for Ripley to be rendered comatose.
[close]

The pages we've seen so far come from the second draft, where

Spoiler
Kurtz, the UPP Captain, gets jumped by the facehugger from Bishop's capsule, and in the ensuing spasms he shoots Ripley's capsule and damages it, before running off into the ship where bursts off camera.
[close]

That would make much more sense...

After the deadly events of the film Aliens, the spaceship Sulaco carrying the sleeping bodies of Ripley, Hicks, Newt, and Bishop is intercepted by the Union of Progressive Peoples. What the UPP forces don't expect is another deadly passenger that is about to unleash chaos between two governmental titans intent on developing the ultimate Cold War weapon of mass destruction.
• Based on the original screenplay by Neuromancer's William Gibson!
• Adaptation and art by Johnnie Christmas—co-creator of Margaret Atwood's Angel Catbird and creator of Image Comics' Firebug.
• Featuring some of the most famous characters in the Alien film canon: Hicks, Bishop, Newt, and Ripley.

Good to finally have a date for this!

Also, if that alternate cover's anything to go by, nice to see they've got the rights to the likenesses of Hicks and Bishop.

Would love to hear Michael Biehn's thoughts about this...especially since he wasn't happy about the way his character was handled. Interesting that some form of vindication could come after 30 years, even if it's in illustrated format.

Any chance of getting him on the podcast?

I'm sure Henriksen wasn't hard to get, at least.

Your best bet is a local comic shop.

The likeness is great. They might have that for Newt as well. Do we know how many issues this is?
