About the series
In 2021, Marvel Comics launched Aliens: Aftermath, a one-shot bridging the gap between the original Aliens film and its sequel, Aliens. Written by Benjamin Percy with art by Dave Wachter, this single issue explores the immediate fallout of the Nostromo's destruction through the eyes of a Weyland-Yutani investigator. It matters as a concise, tense expansion of the franchise's lore, setting the stage for the corporate machinations that would define the later films.
