Alien #1

Three massive Xenomorphs dominate this chilling cover — a huge, snarling alien lunges from the upper frame while two more close in from below, all rendered in Javi Fernández's deep teal and shadow palette that makes the creatures feel genuinely submerged in dread. Marvel's 2024 relaunch kicks off with "Descendant: Part 1 of 4," a four-part arc written and drawn by Declan Shalvey with colors by Ruth Redmond and art by Andrea Broccardo. If this cover is any indication, the series intends to remind us exactly why these creatures remain one of science fiction's most unsettling presences.
