Alien: Romulus #1

That crimson-drenched cover — a Xenomorph looming overhead, acid-slicked jaws open and clawed hand reaching forward against a blood-red backdrop — sets an unmistakably menacing tone for this official prequel to the blockbuster film. Zac Thompson and Daniel Picciotto helm the story, with Yen Nitro's colors sure to bring the same striking intensity seen in Leinil Francis Yu's arresting cover art. Rounding out the package is a foreword by director Fede Álvarez, making this 2024 Marvel release a compelling companion piece for fans of the franchise.
