Marvel’s ‘Alien: Romulus’ prequel comic solves a shocking mystery


Now that director Fede Alvarez’s “Alien: Romulus” has crawled under our skin and provided ample nightmare fuel while we sleep, it’s time to look forward to the spookiest season of the year and peer inside one of Marvel Comics’ creepier upcoming Halloween offerings.

As we first reported back in July, the House of Ideas is releasing a special “Alien: Romulus” one-shot comic book on Oct. 16, 2024 that was crafted with the full cooperation of, and input from, the filmmakers themselves. It addresses one of the hit sci-fi horror film’s biggest questions: What happened to Weyland-Yutani’s space station?

Alien Romulus #1” is penned by horror aficionado Zac Thompson (Absolute Carnage: Avengers, I Breathed a Body) and illustrated by up-and-coming artist Daniel Picciotto (Danny Ketch: Ghost Rider, X-Force). We’ve got a petrifying peek at the killer covers and five full pages of interior artwork to share.
