Aliens: Havoc

In the late 1990s, Dark Horse returned to its Alien roots with this two-issue miniseries, written by Mark Schultz and with artwork by Frank Teran and Leif Jones. The story pits a squad of Colonial Marines against a hive of Xenomorphs on a remote world, delivering the tense, action-horror blend the franchise is known for. A compact but intense entry in the publisher's long-running Alien saga, it's a solid example of the era's creature-feature comics.
