The Xenomorphs wreak havoc in a resort for wealthy criminals in Marvel Comics' upcoming five-issue series Alien: Paradiso, by writer Steve Foxe and artists Edgar Salazar and Peter Nguyen. The story is set in a luxury resort in outer space, a place with white sand beaches, balmy weather, and a superabundance of criminals taking a break from their usual dastardly duties. When Colonial Marshals Dash Nanda and Lydia Reeves are assigned to investigate a smuggling ring there, it seems like a sweet gig until everything suddenly goes sideways. Nguyen contributes pages drawn from the Xenomorphs’ point of view as they hunt down the terrified tourists. The first issue will be released on December 11, 2024, with a main cover by Iban Coello and a variant by J. Gonzo.
The film Alien: Romulus topped the box office on its opening weekend in August (see "'Alien: Romulus' Wins Weekend").
“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,” Foxe said in a statement accompanying the announcement. “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.
“But as someone who considers Alien perhaps the most perfect film of all time, I hewed very close to the fundamentals of what I found so horrifying in the first place: a small group of people out of their depth, stalked by an unknowable threat in a contained location. Edgar, Peter, and I are working to bring you the Alien you know, love, and fear, but in a way you’ve never seen before. Pull up a beach chair and watch out for the acid splash.”
