Alien: Romulus comic is an official prequel to the recently released film of the same name. It is written by Zac Thompson and drawn by Daniel Picciotto, but is intended to go further than that. Marvel promised that the comic book would tackle "one of the film's lingering mysteries", will "take place prior to the events of the film, providing an illuminating backstory behind the film's main threat". And was "made in close partnership with Director Fede Alvarez and frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues, both of whom wrote Alien: Romulus." And "an all-new story revealing secrets of the film's legendary antagonists and this issue shines light on them all."

"The Alien franchise is responsible for my lifelong love of body horror, so needless to say, I'm ecstatic to be contributing a small piece to the canon," Thompson shared. "Working with Fede Alvarez to craft a prequel to Alien: Romulus was a genuine dream come true and a responsibility I don't take lightly. The result is a thrilling, terrifying story that slowly gestates into something wholly unpredictable." And too much for the under-18 reader, it seems…
