Earlier this year, Marvel Comics announced that it had obtained the rights to publish comics based on the seminal Alien film franchise after its parent, The Walt Disney Company, acquired 20th Century Fox. Having already begun republishing classic Alien comics, Marvel on Monday announced its first new Alien stories. Alien #1, the first issue of a new series, will debut in March 2021. Phillip Kennedy Johnson (Empyre: Captain America) writes the series, which features Salvador Larroca’s art (Doctor Doom). In a press release, Marvel states the series will include both new and classic characters from the Alien mythology.
