The ALIEN Saga Continues with ALIENS COLONIAL MARIES: RISING THREAT from Dark Horse & 20th Century Fox

While the future of the Alien franchise in feature films remains nebulous following Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox, the saga launched by Ridley Scott in 1979 continues in the realm of comics. Today brings word that Fox and Dark Horse are releasing Aliens Colonial Marines: Rising Threat! Here’s the scoop from today’s press release:
