Summer 2024 is heating up with an unexpected cosmic collision—Marvel superheroes versus the deadly Xenomorphs from the “Alien” franchise. As Marvel unveils a thrilling crossover event in “Aliens vs. Avengers”, we’re promised an epic clash between Earth’s mightiest heroes and acid-spewing extraterrestrials.
Launching in August, this four-issue series by writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Esad Ribić explores a grittier Marvel timeline, where older, battle-worn versions of heroes like Spider-Man, Phoenix, and She-Hulk will face an invasion of galactic parasites. These perfect killing machines are about to find out if the Avengers can hold their ground against their primal ferocity.
This monumental crossover event is accompanied by five jaw-dropping “Marvel vs. Alien” variant covers. Starting in July and running through mid-August, the alternate covers celebrate the upcoming chaos. Fan-favorite artists like Greg Land, Tony Daniel, and Stephen Segovia contribute, each depicting Marvel icons caught in hand-to-hand combat with the nightmarish Xenomorphs.
The visual feast kicks off on July 3 with “Deadpool #4”, followed by “The Amazing Spider-Man #53” on July 10. Erica D’Urso’s “Phoenix #1” on July 17 brings an explosive encounter with the immortal firebird, while “Vengeance of the Moon Knight #7” on July 24 highlights the lunar vigilante’s deadly struggle. Finally, Joshua Cassara wraps it up with “Sensational She-Hulk #10” on August 14, teasing a showdown between the green giantess and the galaxy’s ultimate predator.
This intense lead-up to the release of “Alien: Romulus”, the latest entry in the Alien film saga dropping on August 16, makes the summer of 2024 a must-watch for sci-fi and comic fans alike. Marvel’s expansion into the Alien universe continues to bridge beloved franchises, promising brutal battles that are as visually stunning as they are chaotic.
Whether you’re rooting for Earth’s defenders or the lethal extraterrestrials, one thing’s for sure: Marvel has summoned a crossover for the ages. Prepare yourself for what could be the most visceral, pulse-pounding action yet.
