Aliens: Labyrinth

In 1995, Dark Horse Comics released Aliens: Labyrinth, a single-issue horror one-shot that stands as a tense, self-contained story within the larger Aliens franchise. Written by Jim Woodring with art by Kilian Plunkett, the issue delves into the grim, claustrophobic aftermath of a Weyland-Yutani research facility's encounter with the Xenomorphs. It matters for its focused, psychological take on the Aliens mythos, offering a chilling character study that prioritizes atmosphere and dread over action.
