Aliens: The Original Years Omnibus #4

A massive Xenomorph looms over a lone figure in a space suit amid the wreckage of what appears to be a decimated cityscape or spacecraft — James Stokoe's cover art is a breathtaking exercise in scale and dread, with the creature's form practically dissolving into a swarm of smaller aliens and debris at its back. This 2022 Marvel hardcover omnibus collects a sweeping run of Aliens material from the original years, and Stokoe's obsessively detailed linework — every bolt and carapace rendered with equal ferocity — makes it a genuinely striking package even before you crack the spine. If you've been waiting for a definitive way to experience this era of Aliens comics, this is a handsome place to start.
