Alien: Paradiso #1

The cover of this 2025 Marvel series opener sets an immediately unsettling tone: a Xenomorph looms in extreme close-up, its elongated skull and razor claws dominating the foreground while a group of desperate survivors scrambles through a bioluminescent tunnel behind it — completely unaware of the predator inches away. Writer Steve Foxe and artist Edgar Salazar launch Alien: Paradiso with a premise that feels both intimate and terrifying, suggesting a cat-and-mouse dynamic with very long odds for the humans involved. Iban Coello's cover art delivers that classic sense of dread the franchise thrives on, and with colorist Carlos Lopez bathing the scene in cold blue light, issue #1 promises a genuinely chilling addition to Marvel's Alien line.
