20th Century Studios and Marvel have officially announced and revealed two cover variants for their upcoming Alien: Romulus prelude comic book! The one-shot comic book is set to hit shelves this October! Check out the two cover variants below:
Marvel’s one-shot will take place prior to the events of the film, providing an illuminating backstory behind the film’s main threat. Made in close partnership with Director Fede Alvarez and frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues, both of whom wrote Alien: Romulus, the comic is a must-have companion to one of the most highly anticipated films of the summer.
Marvel Comics presents an all-new story revealing the secrets of the film’s legendary antagonists and this issue shines a light on them all!
"The Alien franchise is responsible for my lifelong love of body horror, so needless to say, I’m ecstatic to be contributing a small piece to the canon," Thompson shared. "Working with Fede Alvarez to craft a prequel to Alien: Romulus was a genuine dream come true and a responsibility I don’t take lightly. The result is a thrilling, terrifying story that slowly gestates into something wholly unpredictable."
