Dark Horse Comics garnered a lot of attention a few years back when they did a comic adaptation of one of the earliest drafts of the first Star Wars which was radically different from what ended up in theaters. They’re now going back to do something similar as they’ve gotten the rights to bring the original unproduced Alien 3 screenplay from William Gibson to life, which is working from the intent that the studio wanted to go with originally before David Fincher and his team came on board and reworked it completely.
The first issue of five is set for a November 7th, 2018 release date with Johnnie Christmas writing and illustrating the adaptation. James Harren, Daniel Warren Johnson, Paolo Rivera, Tradd Moore, and Christian Ward will be producing variant covers for it.
Plot Concept: Following the deadly events of Aliens, the Union of Progressive Peoples intercepts the spaceship carrying the hibernating bodies of Ripley, Hicks, Newt, and Bishop. But unbeknownst to them, they have also picked up another deadly passenger whose discovery will unleash a race between two governments to weaponize the xenomorph in this horrifying and poignant Cold War-themed thriller.
