Marvel has announced another entry in the comic book line for Alien, this time, named Alien: Paradiso. It’s slated to start releasing on the 11th of December and will be a five issue limited series, written by Steve Foxe, drawn by Edgar Salazar with additional art by Peter Nguyen. The summary describes:
ALIEN: PARADISO will introduce fans to an all-new side of the Alien universe as the universe’s deadliest life form discovers a feast of fresh victims at a luxury resort! But these vacationers are far from innocent, and as the Xenomorph bathes this picturesque landscape in blood and carnage, the familiar corruption, greed, and horror that comes with the territory of Alien storytelling rears its ugly head! In a bold twist, each issue will feature special Xenomorph point of view pages drawn by Nguyen, allowing readers to see through the eyes of a Xenomorph as it hunts its terrified targets!
Additional information shows us that the Colonial Marshals will be appearing once more in the Alien universe:
Welcome to Paradiso, where the money flows like blood and the blood flows like acid! The Tulum of space, Paradiso is a hidden gem among the colonies with its tropical climate, white sand beaches and a remarkable population of hyper-wealthy criminals. When Colonial Marshals Dash Nanda and Lydia Reeves are sent there to bust a smuggling ring, they think they’ve hit the job-assignment jackpot. But the only ones getting lucky here are those HUNGRY enough to take what they need.
It seems we’ll be getting a relatively unique setting for an Alien centric story as per the writer, Foxe, though with the same core themes we’re all used to:
With Romulus taking the franchise back to its roots in many respects, I wanted to make sure we were offering readers a story they couldn’t find anywhere else. Setting our tale on the sun-kissed shores of a high-end beach resort populated by underhanded criminals, undercover marshals, and underpaid employees immediately spun us in a new direction.
This isn’t the first time that a story regarding civilians encountering the Alien during their vacation has happened. The most recent story to do that was Dark Horse’s last Alien vs. Predator comic – Thicker Than Blood, and before that, there was Aliens: Kidnapped. Alongside the announcement, we were treated to two covers for the first issue.
Iban Coello’s cover
Variant cover by J. Gonzo
