Marvel reveals Aliens vs Avengers comic by Secret Wars creators Fox | Marvel ComicsMarvel will release an \u2018Aliens vs. Avengers\u2019 series by the team behind 2015\u2019s \u2018Secret Wars\u2019 to tie in with the upcoming \u2018Alien: Romulus.\u2019 Marvel has announced their next massive event comic, and it\u2019s a doozy. \u2018Aliens vs. Avengers\u2019 will see a powerhouse Avengers line-up, including Captain America, Iron Man, and Captain Marvel, take on the legendary Xenomorphs. First reported by Entertainment Weekly, the title will be written by \u2018Ultimate Spider-Man\u2018 writer Jonathan Hickman, with art by \u2018Thor: God of Thunder\u2019 artist Esad Ribi\u0107. The book will mark the first time the Xenomorphs have crossed paths with Marvel characters in such a fashion, but seeing them fight superheroes isn\u2019t a new idea. When Dark Horse Comics owned the Aliens comics rights in the \u201990s and early 2000s, they regularly released crossover comics with other publishers, which led to fan-favorite mini-series like \u2018Superman\/Aliens\u2019 and \u2018Superman and Batman vs. Aliens and Predator.\u2019 Hickman spoke glowingly about the project in a discussion with EW, saying, \u201cI love the Aliens universe and the mythology, and obviously, just how atmospherically and well-designed everything is has always gotten my creative juices flowing. It was tricky finding a way to make these two things work together, but I think Esad and I landed on something that works for fans of both franchises.\u201d \u2018Aliens vs. Avengers\u2019 is the latest in Marvel\u2019s run of 20th Century Fox licensed comics, which has included \u2018Predator vs. Wolverine,\u2019 \u2018What If\u2026? Aliens,\u2019 and a host of Aliens and Predator-themed ongoings and mini-series. There\u2019s a ton of synergy in this release, too. \u2018Aliens vs. Avengers\u2019 releases at the same time as the next film, \u2018Alien: Romulus.\u2019 It also marks the latest reunion for the creative team of Hickman and Ribi\u0107, whose work on 2015\u2019s \u2018Secret Wars\u2019 is heavily rumored to influence the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. \u2018Aliens vs. Avengers\u2019 #1 will hit stands July 24.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
