‘Alien: Paradiso’ #2 Brings Even More Violence to Paradiso

The Alien franchise, known for its long-standing legacy in sci-fi horror, continues to captivate audiences with its ever-expanding universe. Ridley Scott’s original vision has grown over the years, influencing a wide range of media. While the movies are the most well-known, there’s a lot more to explore, especially in the world of comics.

As you probably know, in December, a brand-new comic series titled Alien: Paradiso was launched. Created by Steve Foxe, Edgar Salazar, and Peter Nguyen, with a cover by Iban Coello, this series promised a thrilling mix of genres and it duly delivered.

The interest in the series is high and in this report, we are going to bring you a proper preview of the second issue, which is scheduled for a January 15, 2025 release.

The plot of Alien: Paradiso is exactly what you’d expect from the franchise, packed with the intense survival horror that fans love. But this time, there’s a twist. The story is set on a tropical island and involves smugglers caught in a deadly game. As you might imagine, brutal deaths are a given, thanks to the ever-present threat of the Xenomorphs.

Here is what we can expect from the upcoming second issue:

THE LEGACY OF THE NOSTROMO HAUNTS PARADISE! The island resort Paradiso explodes in violence! A chestburster is loose among the hapless hyper-wealthy and the seriously underpaid staff. But Xenomorphs aren’t the only threat lurking in the neon lights. Smuggler Ricky Valentine came here to make a deal that would set him and his crew up for life. But that life’s not going to last very long – not unless his bodyguard, Tsula Kane, can finally connect the dots of her father’s death…and get revenge on the real villains. A can’t-miss chapter in the Alien mythos!
