Alien: King Killer, a new chapter in Marvel’s acclaimed Alien comic book storytelling begins this April, and it promises to deliver the darkest era of the Alien universe yet. The five-issue limited series by writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Carlos Nieto will take place on a planet that’s already succumbed to Xenomorphs, a horrifying victory that pushes humanity to its limits and explores the ultimate cost of survival. Fans will also have a chance to dive deeper into the saga on Comics Giveaway Day on May 2 with a special prelude story by Ahmed and artist Emilio Laiso in Alien, Predator & Planet of the Apes #1 CGD 2026.
When humanity has already lost the war against the Xenomorphs, what remains? Set on a planet overrun by the savage alien species, the dregs of humanity cling to the protection of the mysterious siblings known as the Three Kings. But these warlords have a fourth sibling who is out for revenge– and the humans’ remaining protectors are harboring secrets deadlier than the aliens outside their gates.
