Aliens vs. Avengers is coming to comic book stores on July 24, 2024! After releasing Predator vs. Wolverine last year, it was only a matter of time before Marvel paired up Aliens with one of their other Marvel properties. The Aliens vs. Avengers comic series is written by Jonathan Hickman and artist Esad Ribic.
The team previously worked on the Secret Wars event comic. Ribic previously did the art for the recent Eternals comic while Hickman has written numerous Marvel titles including various Avengers and X-Men comics.
The article doesn’t give much in the way of story details except that Aliens have made their way to Earth at some point in the future and meet a planet full of superheroes. You can read the full article on EW.com who has also provided the comic cover for Aliens vs. Avengers. It features Iron Man, Captain America and Captain Marvel with a Xenomorph overlooking them. The font on the cover seems to be based on the Weyland-Yutani logo.
In space, no one can hear you scream, “Avengers Assemble!”
Over the course of the Alien franchise, the fearsome creatures known as Xenomorphs have encountered — and eviscerated — all types of enemies, including workers, soldiers, prisoners, scientists, and even Predators. But this summer, they’ll reach a new level when they come face to face with superheroes.
Now that Disney owns the rights to both Marvel and Alien (the latter stemming from the studio’s 2019 acquisition of Fox assets), Entertainment Weekly can exclusively report that these two franchises are colliding in the crossover comic Aliens vs. Avengers, from writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Esad Ribic.
The first issue of Marvel’s Aliens vs. Avengers goes on sale July 24th, just before Alien: Romulus is released.

It's not just you.
Aliens vs Predator made sense, but this sounds crap.
There's only the first and second movie worth watching (imo).. I turned off Species 3 around 15mins in, and never bothered with the 4th (they went straight-to-video B-movies from 3 onwards) but I love the first two! 😃
Didn't know that was something I wanted until right now. Wtf
I need check out the Species series. Only seen the first one (when I was way too young to be watching it lol)

I think it really depends for this on what rooster hickman uses for the avengers is it gunna be mostly mcu tony cap carol black panther ? or is it gunna be wild with different members ? Also even know its a AU how close are they gunna be to the current status quo : Tony being married to Emma frost , Thor being Gaia's Son , Natasha having a simbiote (widow) Spider-man being a cuck loser, And is Hickman gunna use his Pet THE MAKER (evil Reed Richards ) Anywhere in this
Pretty much the way I feel. I wouldn't have been thrilled with AvGOTG, but at least it would have felt like somebody thought about it for more than three seconds.
Honestly, this article sums up how I feel about the whole thing.
I would have thought that Aliens would have led off with a Marvel crossover pitting them against either the Guardians of the Galaxy or Captain Marvel (I know she's in the Avengers one we're getting, but something with her standalone as more of a Ripley-esque final girl in space [pretty sure this Avengers one is on Earth] would feel a bit more thematically appropriate than the Avengers on the whole).
FoxStudios/Marvel crossovers, wake me up when we get "Captain America on the Planet of the Apes" with him being frozen during WWII and then being thawed out in the distant future with the Apes now having inherited the Earth.The main RPG book and the CMOM.
The CMOM also mentions that the USCM intervened on Weyland-Yutani's behalf during its silent war with the Globe Corporation.
Aliens is built on this explicitly not being the case.
Best thing is the awesome art.
Disclaimer- some people working on it f**ked me over too. Might have something to do with it.
Something to laugh your ass off too if you wish.
"In layman's terms, ... sometimes [the USCM is] just Weyland-Yutani's bitch."
More RPG wanklore.
The RPG says that the USCM is NOT controlled by W-Y, but W-Y's business interests with the United Americas Allied Command mean that W-Y can call in the Marines if needed.
It does own the military manufacturers UA Northridge and Lunnar-Welsun, though.

Well, it's hyperbolic. And inaccurate. Weyland-Yutani occasionally co-opts the USCM to protect its interests, but the Royal Marines are the main military force it supports.
You certainly are, if you're saying every EU source states that W-Y owns the USCM. To my recollection, only two sources say that - Sea of Sorrows and the Augmented Reality Survival Manual. Both are written from the dystopian post-Resurrection timeframe in which W-Y really does own everything and, furthermore, the latter is non-canon.
No. Weyland-Yutani backs up the Royal Marines.
Never played Fireteam Elite, then?

That's martyr in the making
Every f**king piece of EU: WY oWnS thE UScM

Don't take this seriously, it a joke
More or less. Another shite bit of RPG "lore".
Didn't the RPG say that Weyland-Yutani owns the USCM?
Not that it matters what the RPG says.
You mean the one we saw in Covenant?
Aliens Versus X-Men featuring the Brood, might be really funny.
