THE XENOMORPHS CONQUER ALL IN ALIEN: KING KILLER!
ALIEN: KING KILLER by Saladin Ahmed and Carlos Nieto, the latest ALIEN epic from Marvel Comics, hits stands in April.
New York, NY— January 22, 2026 — ALIEN: KING KILLER, a new chapter in Marvel’s acclaimed Alien comic book storytelling begins this April, and it promises to deliver the darkest era of the Alien universe yet. The five-issue limited series by writer Saladin Ahmed (Wolverine) and artist Carlos Nieto (Ultimate Black Panther) will take place on a planet that’s already succumbed to Xenomorphs, a horrifying victory that pushes humanity to its limits and explores the ultimate cost of survival. Fans will also have a chance to dive deeper into the saga on Comics Giveaway Day™ on May 2 with a special prelude story by Ahmed and artist Emilio Laiso in ALIEN, PREDATOR & PLANET OF THE APES #1 CGD 2026.
When humanity has already lost the war against the Xenomorphs, what remains? Set on a planet overrun by the savage alien species, the dregs of humanity cling to the protection of the mysterious siblings known as the Three Kings. But these warlords have a fourth sibling who is out for revenge– and the humans’ remaining protectors are harboring secrets deadlier than the aliens outside their gates.
“I’m old enough to remember Aliens landing at the theaters after having watched Alien on Betamax, so I’ve been ready to tell stories in this universe for a good long while now,” Ahmed shared. “KING KILLER is more of an action story than pure horror, but it is centrally about the most fascinating question in the franchise: What makes a monster? I’m super excited for readers to join us for this weird, pulse pounding Alien story!”
