Marvel Comics have announced that Alien series writer Declan Shalvey is teaming with artist Danny Earls to present a double-sized standalone tale in Alien Annual #1 this October which will pit the iconic Xenomorphs against a newly-discovered subspecies for some all-out Alien on Alien war!
“Writing Alien has been a fantastic experience so far, digging into the desolate horror the franchise allows on the Thaw storyline with a diehard collaborator like Andrea Broccardo,” Shalvey shared. “With this upcoming annual, I get to expand on the world we’ve built with a ferocious battle of monsters by the excellent Danny Earls, whose stark shadows and organic shapes are perfect for a series like this. I promise that no humans will survive this tale.”
ALIEN VS. ALIEN: PITY THE XENO! A Xenomorph queen and her hive descend on a dark world. As always, they’re eager to eliminate any species they encounter and stand poised to overrun this planet like they have so many others. Until the native life fight back…
