ALIENS: FAST TRACK TO HEAVEN

Written and art by Liam Sharp.

Deep beneath the ice of Jupiter's moon Europa, life teems in the depths of dark oceans fed by belching chemical-rich volcanic vents. But more spectacular discoveries of life elsewhere in the cosmos have left Europa little more than another commercial stopover with an orbital station and a decaying space elevator ferrying cargo and personnel to and from the moon. But when one of the massive elevators stops midway with no communication from the crew aboard, a rescue team soon discovers that the stranded elevator is transporting a deadly cargo from another world, a savage organism that threatens life on Europa and, ultimately, life on planet Earth.

From superstar creator Liam Sharp comes Aliens: Fast Track to Heaven, an all-new deluxe-format hardcover graphic novella. Sharp's stunning visuals are well-known to comics readers from his work on Judge Dredd, Hulk, Testament, Gears of War and many others, and now having expanded into prose fiction with God Killers: Machivarius Point and Other Tales, Sharp is solidifying his reputation as one of graphic fiction's emerging visionaries.
