Marvel have officially announced the title for their new upcoming Alien comic we previously reported on last week! Titled Alien: Icarus, the new comic synopsis is posted below, mentioning that the Xenomorph somehow holds the key to Humanity's future. The series touts new revelations and insights into the Alien mythos. Check it out:
The series kicks off a chapter called ALIEN: ICARUS, which heightens the action in a similar way to how James Cameron’s 1986 Aliens did after the original film,” he continued. “In ALIEN: ICARUS, readers will meet the legendary Synthetic Special Operations Team, led by one of my favorite original Alien characters so far: an unstoppable synthetic named Freyja.”
“When disaster strikes a crucial United Systems planet, the entire human population of the system relies on Steel Team finding the long-deserted Weyland-Yutani Research and Development outpost on Tobler-9, one of the most hostile environments in the known universe. Steel Team’s the most bad-ass strike team in military history, and they’ve never met an organic life form that offered them the slightest threat…but they don’t know what’s waiting for them on Tobler-9,” he explained.
Alien: Icraus (ALIEN #1) arrives on comicbook shelves and online retailers August 10th!
