Marvel's Alien relaunches in 2022 with this chilling first issue, written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson with art by Julius Ohta and colors by Yen Nitro, kicking off "Icarus," a six-part story. Björn Barends' cover sets an immediately unnerving tone: a towering Xenomorph stands over a stricken human figure, its clawed hands poised with terrifying purpose amid a dark, debris-strewn environment. It's a stark, atmospheric image that wastes no time reminding readers exactly what kind of horror awaits inside.
