Best Alien comic books of all time

For decades , Dark Horse Comics had the rights to both Alien and Predator in the realm of comic books, putting out several series and one -shots that were well worth our time.

With Disney 's takeover of Fox 's empire, the opportunity to move both franchises to Marvel (also owned by the House of Mouse ) came, and things changed for the first time in forever.

Alien: Bloodlines, Revival & Icarus was Marvel's first three -story arc for the Alien franchise.

This trilogy convinced fans from the get-go that new, exciting stuff could be done with the property under Marvel 's umbrella.

The main character, Machiko Noguchi , soon became a fan favorite, later starring in Aliens vs. Predator: War and Three World War .

Nightmare Asylum is the follow-up to Outbreak and precedes Female War.

It lands the top spot on our list because it's a fantastic second act of the post-Aliens storyline.

It's got Colonial Marines , an Earth overrun by Xenomorphs and a crazed military figure that still wants to use trained aliens in battle.
