Description

"Alien: King Killer" is a five-issue comic book series released by Marvel Comics from April to August 2026. Written by Saladin Ahmed and drawn by Carlos Nieto, with covers by David Yardin, it takes place on a world where humanity has already lost the war against the Xenomorphs.

Sovryn was once a colony. Now the Xenomorphs rule its desert canyons, and the survivors scavenge in the ruins. They live under the protection of three siblings known as the Three Kings, who demand tribute in return. A young scavenger named Mouse is saved from a Xenomorph by a stranger whose sword holds up against acid blood.

The stranger is Idris, an augmented warrior and the Kings' own brother. He has come to bring them down, even if their walls are all that keep the alien horde away from the last humans.

Synopsis
