Aliens Omnibus #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis first volume of Dark Horse's Aliens Omnibus series collects the earliest comic book stories set in the Alien universe, including the original 1988 miniseries Aliens and its sequel Aliens: Earth War, along with the short story Aliens: Salvation. Written by Mark Verheiden and illustrated by various artists, these tales expand on the xenomorph mythology introduced in James Cameron's film, following characters like Hicks and Newt as they confront new outbreaks of the deadly creatures. The collection also features the Aliens: Labyrinth storyline, offering a darker, more psychological take on the Weyland-Yutani Corporation's obsession with the species.
"Outbreak," the explosive opening story in the Aliens Omnibus #1 (2007), kicks off with a military mission to the Alien homeworld to retrieve a specimen—unaware that a living Alien Queen has already been secretly on Earth. Written by Mark Verheiden and illustrated by Mark A. Nelson, with inks and colors by Nelson and Dark Horse Digital, the story unfolds with chilling precision. Cover by John Bolton captures the dread of an invasion already underway.
In "Outbreak," a military mission to the Alien homeworld takes a deadly turn when a corporate experiment on Earth awakens a hidden Alien Queen. As her hive spreads across the planet, the line between soldier and prey blurs in a desperate fight for survival.
In "Nightmare Asylum," Corporal Wilks, Billie, and Bueller flee Earth just before its collapse, only to land on a planet where General Spears commands a twisted experiment: training Aliens to serve as soldiers for humanity. The story unfolds in a tense, isolated setting where survival hinges on loyalty, and the line between hunter and hunted blurs.
In the scorched aftermath of an alien invasion, Earth lies in ruin, its last survivors clinging to hope through makeshift broadcasts from the ruins. On Gateway station, Newt joins Ripley’s crew as they prepare for a desperate mission: to reach the Alien homeworld, capture the Queen Mother, and unleash a single nuclear strike to end the war once and for all.
