Xenomorphs Get Extra Bloody In New Marvel Miniseries

Issue one cover art by Ryan Stegman

Make sure your New Year's Resolutions include adding the new comic Alien: Black, White & Blood to your pull-list.

The first issue of the four-issue miniseries is due to hit stores on February 7. 
Marvel Comics will explore new depths of terror this February by extending the popular Black, White & Red line into the Alien universe!

Alien: Black, White & Blood will be four issues of unbridled violence with shocking stories crafted by some the industry’s hottest talents.


Previous Black, White & Red instalments have spotlighted deadly icons, from Wolverine to Darth Vader. Now, it’s time for the Xenomorphs to be unleashed in this epic format!

Marvel Comics and 20th Century Studios present this kill-fest of an anthology in chest-rending artistic detail, brought to life in bold, black, white, red - and, when things get extra dangerous - GREEN!

Here are the tales fans can look forward to in the debut issue:
  • Superstars Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing (Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty, Guardians of The Galaxy) and brilliant artist Michael Dowling (Black Cat, Amazing Spider-Man) kick off Utopia, a generations-spanning saga that will be told across all four issues! Soaring through space to find a perfect world, a society descends into darkness as they’re shaped by their fear of the Xenomorphs!
  • Fan-favorite writer Ryan Cady (Winter Guard) and Marvel newcomer Devmalya Pramanik explore the limits of compassion in Maternal Instincts. On a deep space vessel, a small child is the sole survivor of a Xenomorph slaughter and her only hope for salvation is the ship’s comforting and guiding AI computer unit.
  • Rising stars Stephanie Phillips (Capwolf & The Howling Commandos, Cosmic Ghost Rider) and Marcelo Ferreira (Moon Knight: City of The Dead) deliver a tale of guts, glory and the most exhilarating of games in The Hunt. Xenomorphs become the main attraction when Weyland-Yutani gives wealthy thrill-seekers a chance to hunt down the galaxy’s deadliest species.

Now Your Player-Characters Can Explore Dark Corners of The Universe

Alien Day (April 26) seems an apt date to open pre-orders for the next supplement for Free League's wildly popular Alien roleplaying game.
All the wonder and danger of the stars is yours - if you can just wipe the grime off your face and dig the dirt out from under your fingernails first.
Building Better Worlds is the long-awaited guide to creating explorer and colonist characters and running an "open-world" style campaign.
Airless moons circle swirling gas giants, eager to be transformed into tomorrow’s paradise. Dark ancient mysteries wait to be unearthed beneath a millennium of debris. Searing solar flares boil your flesh and blacken your bones as you harness their power to light a hundred worlds. Long lost mysteries lie entombed in the frozen hearts of icy comets. Unstable tectonic plates shift to drown iridium mines in scalding lava. Even the truth of humanity's origins awaits you out there, orbiting some dying star. And out there amongst it all is something truly horrifying - something that nature never intended. Something alien.

This new book for the multi award-winning game system contains:

● History of Colonization – the story of humanity’s reach for the stars.
● Creating Explorers & Colonists – expanded character creation rules for life on the frontier.
● Gear & Ships – an extensive chapter with new gear and spaceships, gloriously illustrated.
● Extrasolar Species Catalog – new Xenomorphic creatures to encounter.
● The Lost Worlds – the framework and backstory for a frontier campaign.
● Expeditions – six thrilling expeditions into uncharted space, playable in any order.
 The Endgame – the final showdown with everything at stake.

"Scream Not Working Because Space Make Deaf"


Honestly, I don't believe this is genuine. It is far more likely that it was invented out of whole cloth or some wag ran the film's synopsis backwards-and-forwards through Google translate a few times. But, anyways, it's still highly amusing to imagine it could be real.
