Explore how Alien comics have expanded the franchise's lore and redefined the Xenomorph species.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Despite being a franchise that began in film, the Alien universe has expanded far beyond the live-action movie landscape into the realm of video games, novels, and comic books, allowing the insidious Xenomorph s even more room to terrorize their ever-growing crop of victims. And out of all the mediums invaded by the Xenomorph s, the one that has unarguably expanded Alien lore the most is the comics.
Dark Horse Comics’ Aliens reveals that Xenomorphs don’t communicate through pheromones as many fans assumed, but rather through a telepathic link established by the Queen of their hive. Not only does this comic make how Xenomorphs communicate clear, it also shows the horrific impact this communication method has on humans. When Xenomorphs were brought to Earth , a number of Xenomorph-worshiping cults began popping up around the globe.
8 Aliens’ Kenner Comics Pushes the Xenomorphs’ DNA Reflex to the Absolute Limit Dark Horse Comics/Kenner Comics Aliens: Space Marines by Dan Jolley, Norman Felchle, and Mark McKenna Kenner Products was the toy company that produced Aliens action figures following the popularity of the 1986 film.
6 Alien’s Ambitious Crossover with The Terminator Confirms the Xenomorphs’ Genetic Malleability Aliens vs Predator vs The Terminator by Mark Schultz and Mel Rubi In the far future of the Alien universe , the galaxy is plagued with more than just Xenomorphs and Predators, but also Terminators.
Alien fans are well aware that Weyland-Yutani has been wanting to get its hands on the Xenomorph since the start of the franchise, but the company has been equally obsessed with the success of its ‘Building Better Worlds’ campaign. Perhaps these separate efforts could actually be one and the same, and Weyland-Yutani wants the Xenomorph to terraform planets believed to be uninhabitable at record speeds.
Not only does this comic reveal where the Xenomorphs come from, but it also reveals that there is more than one kind of Xenomorph that exists on their homeworld, with the other type of Xenomorphs acting as the originals’ genetic rivals. Aliens: Genocide is a fantastic expansion of Xenomorph lore, answering questions that the movies never even came close to revealing.
