**[City, State] –** Get ready for a sun-soaked, blood-soaked adventure in the latest chapter of the Alien franchise. Marvel Comics has announced “Alien: Paradiso,” a five-issue limited series dropping this December that takes the iconic Xenomorph to a luxurious resort.
Written by Steve Foxe and illustrated by Edgar Salazar and Peter Nguyen, “Alien: Paradiso” plunges readers into a unique setting: a tropical paradise teeming with wealthy criminals, undercover marshals, and a hidden smuggling ring. But things take a terrifying turn when the Xenomorph arrives, turning the resort into a hunting ground.
The series promises a fresh perspective on the Alien universe, with Nguyen providing special pages from the Xenomorph’s point of view. “I wanted to make sure we were offering readers a story they couldn’t find anywhere else,” Foxe explained. “Setting our tale on the sun-kissed shores of a high-end beach resort populated by underhanded criminals, undercover marshals, and underpaid employees immediately spun us in a new direction.”
Foxe also emphasized his commitment to the original Alien’s essence: “As someone who considers Alien perhaps the most perfect film of all time, I hewed very close to the fundamentals of what I found so horrifying in the first place: a small group of people out of their depth, stalked by an unknowable threat in a contained location.”
“Alien: Paradiso” promises a terrifying and thrilling journey into the depths of the Alien universe, showcasing a new side to the iconic franchise. The first issue hits shelves on December 11th.
