Dark Horse Comics have unveiled a new four-issue mini comic series set in the Alien universe! Aliens: Dust to Dust will be written and illustrated by Gabriel Hardman and the plot will involve a 12-year-old boy named Maxon and his mother as they fight for survival while their colony on a remote planet are overrun by Xenomorphs! The story seems to mimic the events which would have taken place at Hadley's Hope prior to the events of James Cameron's Aliens. Here's the official cover art and plot synopsis provided by CBR:
In deep space, the Trono colony on the planet LV-871 finds itself under attack by mysterious and deadly creatures of unknown origin. Emergency evacuations are ordered and shuttles are taking off as the massacre sweeps the colony. All that stands between 12-year-old Maxon and his mom making it to the safety of the spaceport is a horde of Aliens!
Aliens: Dust to Dust #1 will arrive at comic shops April 24th, 2018!
Alien vs. Predator 3 – What We Know So Far
Officially, Alien vs. Predator 3 remains in concept phase for the time being. A reboot of the iconic crossover has been discussed on numerous occasions, with chatter picking up heavily from 20th Century Studios back in the Fall of 2024 after the successful release of Fede Alvarez's Alien: Romulus. The blending of Alien and Predator cinematic universes was further solidified in 2025 with Dan Trachtenberg's Predator: Badlands. The two movie monsters continue to coexist in the same timeline, but their conflict has not yet been realized since 2007. A reboot of Alien vs. Predator would likely ret-con the existing 2 entries and establish a completely new AvP timeline.
