In 1986, James Cameron\'s \"Aliens\" brought to theaters the horrors of a new kind of war against a terrifying enemy. Two years later, Dark Horse Comics released a direct follow-up to the events in the film. Years before any talk of another film sequel, the comics series took the fandombystorm, selling hundreds of thousands of copies.
Though the story was subsequently rendered noncanonical by the film Alien 3, the stunningly detailed art by Mark A. Nelson and seminal script by MarkVerheiden(who went on to write The Mask,Timecop, Battlestar Galactica, Daredevil, and many other films and televisions shows) continued to grip readers\' imaginations for years afterward. For the thirtieth anniversary of Aliens, Dark Horse presents this edition of the unabridged and unadulterated series in its original stark black and white.
In part #1,In deep space, a salvage crew is attacked by seemingly unstoppable monsters. The marines are called in, but they need someone with experience. Soon Hicks (the horribly scarred survivor from Aliens) and Newt (now almost eighteen) find themselves on a mission to locate and destroy the Aliens\'homeworld!
Next in part #2,Hicks breaks Newt out of the mental hospital where she is being held, and the two of them, along with a crack squad of battle-hardened Marines, blast-off for the Aliens\'homeworld. But is the Alien menace really as far away as Hicks believes, or is the threat closer to Earth than anyone imagines?
Next in part #3,As the ship carrying Hicks, Newt and the company of Colonial Marines nears the Aliens\'Homeworld, a strange paranoia begins to grip the people of Earth. Thousands begin to suffer recurring nightmares about the Aliens, leading Dr. Orona to a terrible realization: there is already an alien--a queen--on Earth!
Next in part #4,All hell breaks loose as Hicks, Newt and the Marines arrive on the Aliens\'homeworld! While back on Earth, a misguided religious fanatic frees the Alien Queen captured by theBionationalCorp.! Even if Hicks and Newt survive their mission, will there be an Earth to come home to?
Next in part #5,Hicks, Newt and their crew of Marines are finding conditions on the Alienhomeworldto be more than they bargained for as they discover that there are things even the Aliens are afraid of! Meanwhile, a mad, fanatical preacher has loosed the corporation\'s captive Queen on an unsuspecting Earth--to force mankind into an unholy \"Communion\"!
Finally in part #6,This is it! The dramatic conclusion to the hottest miniseries of the year! Their mission to the Alienshomeworlda costly failure, Hicks, Newt, and what\'s left of their Marine contingent return to Earth-only to find conditions horribly changed and mankind on the run from ravaging Alien hordes!
