Aliens: Purge

Description

"Aliens: Purge" is a one-shot comic book released by Dark Horse Comics in August 1997. It was written by Ian Edginton, pencilled by Phil Hester and inked by Ande Parks, with a painted cover by Den Beauvais.

The research facility on Sybaris 503 is on the verge of a major breakthrough. Its scientists have found that hosts infected with leprosy carry Alien Chestbursters longer than normal. Before they can learn why, their funding is cut, and "corporate financial liquidators" are sent in to seize all assets, including the human hosts.

To get them, the liquidators will first have to go through Eloise, an experimental hybrid of android and Alien created at the facility. Eloise returns in "Aliens vs. Predator: Pursuit," also written by Edginton and published in 1999.

Synopsis
