Aliens: What If...? #3

A suited figure strides forward with a flamethrower slung over one shoulder, jaw set and completely unruffled — all while Xenomorphs crouch in the shadows behind him and buildings blaze on either side, dominated by the looming Weyland-Yutani logo. Phil Noto's cover composition for this 2024 Marvel series makes that corporate cool feel genuinely menacing, reframing the Aliens universe through the lens of possibility. With Hans Rodionoff writing and Guiu Vilanova on interior art, issue three of Aliens: What If...? promises the kind of tense, speculative sci-fi horror that earns its Parental Advisory label.
