The perfect organism is as menacing on the pages as it is on the big screen. These are the must-read Alien comic books you should look out for.

For decades, it was Dark Horse Comics who had the rights to both Alien and Predator in the realm of comic books, putting out several series and one-shots that were well worth our time. With Disney’s takeover of Fox’s empire and all its properties, the opportunity to move both franchises to Marvel (also owned by the House of Mouse) came, and things changed for the first time in forever. So far, Marvel Comics’ take on both franchises has been interesting to say the least, and you definitely shouldn’t overlook the comics they have put out so far.

They are:

  1. Aliens: Nightmare Asylum
  2. Aliens: Labyrinth
  3. Aliens: Genocide
  4. Aliens vs. Predator
  5. Aliens: Salvation
  6. Alien: Bloodlines, Revival & Icarus
  7. Aliens: Music of the Spears
  8. Aliens: Outbreak
  9. Aliens: Dead Orbit
  10. Aliens: Sacrifice

    I never really read any of the Alien books in the past other than AvP stuff. I am going to check out at least some of the new marvel stuff.

      It’s definitely a good jumping-on point where the sheer amount of Dark Horse output can be intimidating. Plus Phillip Kennedy Johnson is a solid horror writer.
