If you've wondered what it was like on the moon LV-426 when the Xenomorphs overran the terraforming colony later visited by Ellen Ripley and the Colonial Marines in James Cameron's Aliens, then the new Aliens: Fire and Stone comic book miniseries from Dark Horse should interest you. We have a handful of preview pages from the first issue that shows panicked people pursued by Xenomorphs.

Aliens: Fire and Stone #1 (comes out on September 24th)

Writer: Chris Roberson
Artist: Patric Reynolds

"During a vicious xenomorph outbreak, terraforming engineer Derrick Russell leads a desperate group of survivors onto a rickety mining vessel. They hope to escape the creatures overrunning their colony—but they’ll face horrors both in space and on the strange planet they crash on. Ties in with the Prometheus and Aliens films!"
