For those who may not be aware, Scified began as a Prometheus movie fansite, which quickly became one of the top spots on the net to discuss all things Alien. You could say, Scified was built by Alien fans and has since expanded to cover other sci-fi movie franchises. But our roots will always be grounded deeply in the Alien mythology and because of this, we can't wait to get celebrating Alien Day!
April 26th, 4/26, a homage to LV-426, the planet where this journey began and where it will undoubtedly end. Many outlets and vendors are selling and giving away awesome Alien goodies and we've joined their initiative to give fans more of what they love - Alien!
It just so happens we had some Alien comic books lying around just waiting to be given away! So, for our Alien Day Giveaway, fans of Alien and members of Scified alike will have a few opportunities to win themselves some Alien comics by Dark Horse Comics throughout the course of 4/26.
