Following the theatrical release of Alien: Romulus, the latest installment in the groundbreaking Alien film franchise, Marvel presents an Alien: Romulus comic one-shot next month that tackles one of the film’s lingering mysteries. Today, fans can check out all the covers and never-before-seen interior artwork.

On sale October 16, Alien: Romulus #1 is written by horror master Zac Thompson and drawn by rising star Daniel Picciotto. The film took “Alien” storytelling back to its roots with a thrilling saga of young space colonizers coming face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe. Marvel’s one-shot will take place prior to the events of the film, providing an illuminating backstory behind the film’s main threat. Made in close partnership with Director Fede Alvarez and frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues, both of whom wrote Alien: Romulus, the one-shot adds a new layer to one of the biggest film releases of the year.

It’s an all-new story revealing secrets of the film’s legendary antagonists. This issue shines light on the tragedy that occurred on the space station Renaissance before Rain, Andy, and their crew had their own terrifying encounter there!
