Zac Thompson and Daniel Picciotto explore some of the missing backstory behind Alien: Romulus in their upcoming one-shot prequel comic in October.
Alien: Romulus #1 takes place prior to the events of the film (and was made in close partnership with Director Fede Alvarez and frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues), and shows what happened on the space station Renaissance when they brought the body of a Xenomorph adrift in space on to their vessel.
Thomspson said “The Alien franchise is responsible for my lifelong love of body horror, so needless to say, I’m ecstatic to be contributing a small piece to the canon. Working with Fede Alvarez to craft a prequel to Alien: Romulus was a genuine dream come true and a responsibility I don’t take lightly. The result is a thrilling, terrifying story that slowly gestates into something wholly unpredictable.”
Experience the terror for yourself on October 16 and check out the main cover by Leinil Francis Yu and a preview page of Picciotto’s art below.
