Synopsis for 1st story
Gabriel Cruz is haunted by nightmares of the Xenomorphs on the verge of his retirement from the security team in Weyland–Yutani's Earth satellite. He reunites with his son Danny on Earth for a brief, awkward encounter that Danny uses as a pretext to steal a data drive from his father. Gabe continues therapy with a Bishop unit to work through his traumatic memories while Danny and his girlfriend Iris storm the Epsilon Station satellite where Gabe used to work, killing staff and attempting to destroy data for corporate espionage but they come across a room full of biological experiments using Xenomorph DNA. The laboratory is locked by two staff members just as facehuggers burst into the chamber and kill them all.
Solicit Synopsis
THE ICONIC CINEMATIC TERROR MAKES ITS MARVEL DEBUT!
Gabriel Cruz gave his life to Weyland-Yutani--In the case of an alien attack he barely survived, almost literally! Recently retired, Cruz is trying to patch things up with his abandoned son with the help of his friend, a Bishop-model android, but his re-entry into civilian life is not going smoothly…and his encounters with the deadly Xenomorph are far from over. Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Salvador Larroca team up to tell an all-new tale of the titan of horror and science fiction that has scared audiences for decades. No one is safe. No one is innocent. And no one can hear you scream.Notes
- A trailer was released by Marvel on YouTube to promote this series:
- In the Alien films, Hammerpedes are the result of alien worms mutated by the Chemical A0-3959X.91 – 15 mutagen, making them related to the Xenomorphs but not Xenomorphs themselves, but here are shown as part of the Xenomorph Hive.
