Aliens: Defiance

In 2017, Dark Horse launched Aliens: Defiance, a taut two-issue series written by Brian Wood with art by Tristan Jones. The story follows a Colonial Marine squad on a desperate mission against the Xenomorph threat, expanding the grim, military-focused corner of the Aliens universe. Wood and Jones deliver a compact, tense survival tale that stands as a solid entry in the franchise's comic legacy.
