‘Aliens vs Avengers’ comic series will be released in July
Marvel’s 20th Century Studios is releasing a new four-issue comic series, beginning July 24, 2024, titled “Aliens vs Avengers.”
“Aliens vs Avengers” will be the newest comic from Marvel’s 20th Century Studios. Recently in a run by Benjamin Percy, Predator faced off against Wolverine, and now the fun continues with the first-ever crossover featuring Aliens and Avengers.
“Aliens vs Avengers” will be set in the future
The four-part story written by Jonathan Hickman with artwork by Esad Ribic will be set in a new timeline far into the future, with older and darker versions of Marvel characters. Xenomorphs have reached Earth, and discovered perfect organisms on a planet full of superhumans. Since the Aliens universe is new to the Avengers universe, this will be the first-time readers see lore from Alien.
“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 shared with Entertainment Weekly. “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.”
This is not the first time these two have worked together, and now they’re reuniting for this epic mash up. “Hickman and Ribic are storytelling masters, and they bring a cinematic quality to this that seamlessly merges the high action and soap opera that Marvel fans expect with the deep terror and cosmic awe that the Alien universe so inspires,” said Marvel Editor Sarah Brunstad. “Watching them cut loose across the entire lexicon of these two great franchises is jaw-dropping. ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN IN THIS BOOK–get ready.”
