FIRST LOOK: ALIENS #1
Aliens #1 will arrive in stores on April 15 from Dark Horse Comics. The issue is written by John Arcudi, with art and cover by Zach Howard.
Here's how Dark Horse describes the issue:
"A group of wildcat planetary prospectors plant their flag on a distant new world, rich in land, resources . . . and mystery. Within this seemingly uninhabited planet lies the greatest archaeological discovery in history, an ancient, abandoned complex of impossible proportions carved deep within the living rock, a mind-numbing labyrinth of passages, ramps, bridges, and galleries that seems to extend limitlessly. But as the exploration of the leviathan dead city proceeds deeper and deeper, the members of the team slowly begin to lose their grip on reality. But madness gives way to fear as the explorers begin to disappear one by one. Something else lives within the necropolis, a faceless horror as deadly and merciless as space itself, a lethal terror that has waited centuries to awake . . . and destroy."
Aliens #1 will be 32 pages and will cost $3.50.
