In deep space spins a world infected by the universe's greatest killers. Most sane people would construct a barrier and leave it to rot. But the Weyland-Yutani Corporation sees the biggest payout in the history of civilization. So what if it costs a few human lives to secure? Now, select guests can board Weyland-Yutani's ship the Descendant and uncover buried secrets from a legendary disaster on an icy moon! It's a trip worth dying for! But when the Yutani family decides to settle the invasion of LV-695 personally, the mysterious Cole suddenly finds herself trapped between an avalanche and a watery death - and must make her hardest decisions yet! Plus: It's alien vs. alien when a Xenomorph queen and her hive descend on a dark world…and the native life fights back! Collecting ALIEN ANNUAL (2023) #1 and ALIEN (2023B) #1-4.
Artist Declan Shalvey cut his teeth in the U.K. small-press scene and soon gained mainstream attention for his work on 28 Days Later. Shortly afterward, he made his Marvel debut on Thunderbolts with writer Jeff Parker, followed by well-loved arcs on both Venom and Deadpool. He went on to illustrate the critically acclaimed Moon Knight relaunch with writer Warren Ellis; the pair again collaborated on the creator-owned Injection for Image Comics. Shalvey resides in his native Ireland.

Talented newcomer Andrea Broccardo has quickly found his feet at Marvel on projects including Kanan and the “Amazing Grace” storyline of Amazing Spider-Man. His work hit the big leagues in high-profile event tie-in book Civil War II: X-Men.
