Aliens: Earth War

Mark Verheiden and Sam Kieth’s Aliens: Earth War (1991, Dark Horse) concludes the original comic trilogy that began with Aliens: Outbreak, bringing the Xenomorph threat directly to Earth. This single-issue finale pits a hardened military team against a full-scale infestation on our homeworld, with Kieth’s moody, jagged artwork amplifying the horror. While brief, it caps the early Dark Horse Aliens saga that helped define the franchise’s expanded universe.
