Earth’s Mightiest Heroes Face the Ultimate Extraterrestrial Terror!
“The storyline is rooted deep in Marvel and Alien lore, giving fans what they love from both franchises equally.” – Screen Rant
From legendary Marvel creators Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic, the acclaimed duo behind the best-selling graphic novel Secret Wars, comes an explosive crossover event decades in the making!
In a future Earth ravaged by terror, the unstoppable Xenomorphs descend upon our planet, pitting the perfect organism against a world of superhumans. As the Avengers rise in defense, they face unimaginable loss as the gods of creation known as the Engineers set out to destroy what they made.
What catastrophic events led to the fall of humanity and forced the Avengers to abandon their home planet? Which heroes will be first to fall, and which will be forever changed by the encounter with the Xenomorphs? Discover the answers as Hickman and Ribić weave a pulse-pounding saga where every choice could make the difference between survival or extinction.
Collecting the complete four-issue miniseries, this adventure is a must-have for fans of both the Marvel and Alien franchises, as well as those excited for Noah Hawley’s upcoming FX television series Alien: Earth.
"It feels massive and spectacular in the way that the best Hickman and Ribic joints do. I loved it so." - SKTCHD
"Aliens vs. Avengers is a tense, unforgettably framed epic." - AIPT
"A comic this wild has no right to be this good but it is, from start to finish!" - Comic Watch
"This is Hickman at his most crowd-pleasing." - Graphic Policy
Jonathan Hickman is the award-winning writer/artist of critically acclaimed independent titles Pax Romana, Transhuman and The Nightly News. Teaming with writer Brian Michael Bendis, he launched Marvel’s Secret Warriors, spinning out of Secret Invasion. He then wrote the Dark Reign: Fantastic Four limited series, which served as a warm-up for his revered runs on Fantastic Four and FF, and two S.H.I.E.L.D. series. Hickman penned numerous Ultimate Universe titles before bringing his intricate plotting to Avengers and New Avengers. Hickman’s years of planning culminated with the Marvel Universe-shattering Secret Wars. His impressive list of credits includes a trio of lauded series for Image: East of West, Secret and the Eisner Award-nominated The Manhattan Projects. Hickman returned to Marvel to mastermind a transformative relaunch of its mutant titles, beginning with House of X and Powers of X, and continuing with X-Men.
Croatian artist Esad Ribić broke into the U.S. comic industry with Four Horsemen with writer Rob Rodi. His classic European-influenced artistic style garnered attention from Marvel Comics, leading to a career-making series of painted covers for Wolverine and Kingpin. Ribić’s stunning interior artwork on the Rodi-penned Loki elicited critical comparisons to the legendary Alex Ross, firmly establishing him as one of the industry’s premier painters. His interior art has also graced Silver Surfer: Requiem, Sub-Mariner: The Depths, Uncanny X-Force and Ultimate Comics Ultimates. Ribić reunited with Ultimates writer Jonathan Hickman on event series Secret Wars, and brought epic grandeur to the pages of Jason Aaron’s Thor: God of Thunder and Kieron Gillen’s Eternals.
