Dark Horse Comics announces Alien vs. Predator: Thicker Than Blood

By John Freeman on 18 September 2019

Starting this December, a terrifying new series will once again pit the iconic Aliens and Predators against each other. From Dark Horse Comics comes Alien vs. Predator: Thicker Than Blood, written by Jeremy Barlow (Star Wars: Darth Maul, Kult), illustrated by Doug Wheatly (Star Wars: Dark Times, Conan: Road of Kings), and lettered by Michael Heisler (Halo: Escalation, Aliens: Dust To Dust) with the cover illustrated by Chun Lo.

Alien vs. Predator: Thicker Than Blood kicks off when Predators board a luxury charter spaceship, unleashing a path of terror and bloodshed. An adolescent girl and her younger “brother” are the last to survive, and begin a cat-and-mouse chase with the attackers. They hope for an escape, but they haven’t counted on the Alien . . .

• Alien vs. Predator: Thicker Than Blood #1 (of four) goes on sale 11th December 2019, and is available for pre-order at your local comic shop | Dark Horse Comics: www.darkhorse.com
