The first issue of Marvel’s forthcoming Alien series will arrive in March.

Announced today, the first issue was written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson (Empyre: Captain America, Marvel Zombies: Resurrection) with accompanying artwork from Salvador Larroca (Uncanny X-Men, Eminem/Punisher). The story will follow a new protagonist named Gabriel Cruz, who needs to take on the xenomorph and defend their child. The issue’s cover, which was done by InHyuk Lee (Marvel Zombies: Resurrection), can be seen below.

Revealed over the summer, Marvel will release Alien and Predator comic books in 2021. Before heading to Marvel, Alien and Predator stories were being told through Dark Horse Comics for 30 years. Last month, Marvel announced Predator: The Original Years Omnibus Vol. 1, which reprints a slew of classic Dark Horse Comics stories. This omnibus is slated for a July 2021 release.
