'Alien: Romulus' Prelude Tie-in Comic Sheds Light on the Film's Main Threat

Made in close collaboration with the filmmakers, writer Zac Thompson and artist Daniel Picciotto's 'Alien: Romulus' #1 will unravel a lingering mystery presented in the upcoming film.

Following next month's theatrical release of Alien: Romulus, the latest installment in the groundbreaking Alien film franchise, Marvel Comics will proudly present an ALIEN: ROMULUS comic one-shot in October that tackles one of the film's lingering mysteries.

On sale in October, ALIEN: ROMULUS #1 will be written by horror master Zac Thompson (ABSOLUTE CARNAGE: AVENGERS) and drawn by rising star Daniel Picciotto (DANNY KETCH: GHOST RIDER, X-FORCE). The upcoming film will take Alien storytelling back to its roots with a thrilling saga of young space colonizers coming face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.

Marvel's one-shot will take place prior to the events of the film, providing an illuminating backstory behind the film's main threat. Made in close partnership with Director Fede Alvarez and frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues, both of whom wrote Alien: Romulus, the comic is a must-have companion to one of the most highly anticipated films of the summer.

Marvel Comics presents an all-new story revealing secrets of the film's legendary antagonists and this issue shines light on them all!

"The Alien franchise is responsible for my lifelong love of body horror, so needless to say, I'm ecstatic to be contributing a small piece to the canon," Thompson shared. "Working with Fede Alvarez to craft a prequel to Alien: Romulus was a genuine dream come true and a responsibility I don't take lightly. The result is a thrilling, terrifying story that slowly gestates into something wholly unpredictable."

Check out the main cover by Leinil Francis Yu along with a stunning variant cover by Björn Barends and preorder ALIEN: ROMULUS #1 at your local comic shop today. See Alien: Romulus in theaters August 16.

That's cool! I hope it's good.

*insert LT's comment about how Larroca should draw it*

[Nightmare Asylum]

Seems like it'll presumably be delving into the source/origin of the Alien samples on Renaissance Station, based on that synopsis. Neat.

In the second image you can see the top of a queens head crest and part of a finger holding on to the edge of the hole.  This makes me think of the quick cut we saw of the tail lifting somebody and pulling them into a ceiling hole in the teailer.

[Acid for Blood]

This sounds great. I hope I can get a copy!

[bulletproof2k]

Cool! 

[Cosmic Incubation]

Pretty cool, wasn't expecting any kind of comic tie-in

Added to my pull list

[Nightmare Asylum]

Also neat in that, since this isn't coming out until after the movie, it doesn't really have to skirt around and details like most prequel/prelude media usually does.

Nice! This is actually pretty cool. Might get me to start buying the comics again.

[Mike’s Monsters]

Nice! Will definitely try to get this one.

The red cover is giving me serious Shin Godzilla vibes.

Yeah, I admit I was quite surprised! I really wasn't expecting any kind of tie-in at all considering the lack of news about Titan releases. With the October release date, I have to wonder if this was a late decision.

So I'm guessing the antagonist the release is talking about may be

Spoiler

the new model Ash.
