At long last, Dark Horse Books heralds the return to graphic fiction of the heavyweight champion of modern science-fiction/horror, Aliens! Features the top-flight creative team of writer John Arcudi, penciller Zach Howard, and inker Mark Irwin.

Collins and Negative Burn artist Leif Jones offer a twisted story about the strength -- and weakness -- of blind faith.
