Xenomorphs Are at War in ALIEN ANNUAL #1

Comics

Jul 20

Declan Shalvey and Danny Earls will explore the mystery and methods of the new subspecies of Xenomorphs in the double-sized ALIEN ANNUAL #1 coming this October from Marvel. Alongside artist Andrea Broccardo, Shalvey introduced this new subspecies during the current run of the main ALIEN comic series. Check out the main cover art by Declan Shalvey of the annual below!

Marvel teased that readers will see multiple versions of Xenomorphs at war with each other in this one-shot, which is being used to set up future ALIEN story arcs. Shalvey shared his thoughts on the annual’s story, "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. 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 ANNUAL #1 hits shelves on October 4, 2023.
