It was bound to happen sooner or later, and speaking for ourselves, we’re glad it’s sooner. Marvel comics is bringing the universes “perfect life form”, aka Xenomorphs, and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, The Avengers, together in a brand new series ALIENS VS AVENGERS.

The upcoming series from Marvel Comics comes courtesy of writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Esad Ribic, and Entertainment Weekly has shared cover art and details today.

Here’s the official synopsis from Marvel Comics…

“It’s all led to this: Xenomorphs reach Earth! The perfect organism meets a planet of superhumans. Who will be first to fall?”

“I’ve never worked on a licensed or ‘non-superhero’ property the entire time I’ve been at Marvel, so when all of this came together almost two years ago, I kind of jumped at the opportunity,” Jonathan Hickman tells EW. “I love the Aliens universe and the mythology, and obviously just how atmospherically and well-designed everything is has always gotten my creative juices flowing. It was tricky finding a way to make these two things work together, but I think Esad and I landed on something that works for fans of both franchises.”

“Probably one of the coolest things about the project is how we’ve found really fun ways to ‘Avengerize’ Aliens and ‘alien-up’ Avengers,” Hickman continues. “I think fans will be surprised at how elegantly some of those things fit together. It really turned out to be a chocolate-and-peanut-butter situation.”

Aliens vs. Avengers #1 will be hitting comic book shelves on July 24, 2024.

We really dig the cover for the first issue. Check out the clever play on the Weyland-Yutani Corporation for the title below.
