Well .. here it comes .. hope it's worth it
Following next months theatrical release of Alien: Romulus, the latest installment in the groundbreaking Alien film franchise, Marvel Comics will proudly present an ALIEN: ROMULUS comic one-shot in October that tackles one of the films lingering mysteries.
On sale in October, ALIEN: ROMULUS #1 will be written by horror master Zac Thompson (Absolute Carnage: Avengers, I Breathed a Body) and drawn by rising star Daniel Picciotto (Danny Ketch: Ghost Rider, X-Force). The upcoming film will take 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. Marvels one-shot will take place prior to the events of the film, providing an illuminating backstory behind the films main threat. Made in close partnership with Director Fede Alvarez and frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues, both of whom wrote Alien: Romulus, the comic is a must-have companion to one of the most highly anticipated films of the summer.
Marvel Comics presents an all-new story revealing secrets of the films legendary antagonists and this issue shines light on them all!
"The Alien franchise is responsible for my lifelong love of body horror, so needless to say, Im ecstatic to be contributing a small piece to the canon, Thompson shared. Working with Fede Alvarez to craft a prequel to Alien: Romulus was a genuine dream come true and a responsibility I dont take lightly. The result is a thrilling, terrifying story that slowly gestates into something wholly unpredictable."

I'm really liking the vibe for the movie, I've learnt not to expect anything from Alien franchise because it's been hit or miss for me. But this looks fun enough
Ooh that looking good .. if the actual movie is half good as the trailer .. than it's gonna be good
I can't wait to get that and start a trophy wall
As cheesy as that popcorn bucket looks I want it
