Eisner Award-nominated author Phillip Kennedy Johnson ushered the ALIEN franchise into its new era with Marvel, and this volume collects his entire acclaimed saga in one book!

No one is safe. No one is innocent. And no one can hear you scream! Recently retired, Weyland-Yutani Security Chief Gabriel Cruz gave his life to the corporation — almost literally, thanks to an alien attack he barely survived! Now, Cruz has only one chance to save his son from the horrific fate he barely escaped! Then, an off-world terraforming station manned by a religious sect has been beset by an outbreak of Xenomorphs, and a brave woman dying from a rare disease must defend her flock against the most perfect killing organisms in the cosmos! And finally, a small colony of synths — the legendary, unkillable Synthetic Special Operations “Steel Team”— has settled in secret on a backwater moon. When a company of United System soldiers comes to them for help retrieving biotechnology on a hostile planet that could be the key to saving humanity, the synths must decide whether the prospect of peace between man and machine is worth the risk of betrayal.

Phillip Kennedy Johnson broke into comics in 2015 with the BOOM! Studios miniseries Last Sons of America and Warlords of Appalachia, leading him to DC Comics and Marvel, where he is best known for his acclaimed work on Superman and Action Comics, Marvel’s Alien series, Green Lantern: War Journal, and his current fan-favorite run on The Incredible Hulk. He has also written such characters/titles as Aquaman, Captain America, Marvel Zombies: Resurrection, Extreme Carnage, and his creator-owned series DC Black Label’s The Fellspyre Chronicles, and BOOM! Studios’ Crocodile Black. Johnson has also been published with Archaia, IDW, Aftershock, Dynamite and Scout Comics.

Working for the Marvel UK imprint led Spanish artist Salvador Larroca to a regular gig on Ghost Rider. He graduated to Fantastic Four, alongside one of his favorite writers, Chris Claremont. From 2000 to 2006, Larroca depicted Marvel’s mutants across Uncanny X-Men, X-Men and X-Treme X-Men. Following a stint on Amazing Spider-Man, Larroca brought his maturing style to a lengthy run on Invincible Iron Man and the X-Men: No More Humans original graphic novel. Upon the return of Star Wars to Marvel, Larroca turned to the dark side with Darth Vader before taking on the flagship Star Wars title.
