Xenovember day 10! I always kinda felt like Aliens, for everyone’s pissing and moaning about Hicks and Newt taking dirt naps at the start of Alien 3, committed the bigger sin by reducing the alien to cannon fodder. That said, blowing up this one is was fun…

Xenovember day 9! This commission piece was done last year, depicting the original xeno floating in the void after the film, finished a month before Dane Hallett would tell me over lunch that this was exactly how Alien: Romulus would begin!

Xenovember day 8! I’d always wanted to do something along the lines of the classic Kelley Jones cover to Aliens: Hive #4, and the nature of the (unpublished) Colonial Marines comics was a perfect opportunity to try that. Colours by @simongough2099.bsky.social

As much as I’d love to see the man write and draw a full story in that universe himself, taking what we’ve done on Event Horizon over to that part of space again would absolutely rip…
Petitioning Marvel to let me and @tristansbones.bsky.social follow Event Horizon: Dark Descent with the scariest Alien comic ever
Xenovember continues to roll out just like Lambert’s guts in this speculative take on her horrible demise from one of the original film’s most effective moments.

Xenovember Day 6 -- a contentious one to be sure, but I REALLY liked what Prometheus brought to the table even if I didn't wholly dig the execution, and for its faults, I like that Romulus wove those pieces in like it did.

Xenovember day 4! This was my first Aliens cover, reuniting me with my Defiance Colorist, Dan Jackson. This one’s special for me because not only was it a return to Alien, but it would later be used as booth and lanyard #art at SDCC to represent the brand.

Apparently someone thought it needed to be run through AI. I'd love to know what the prompt was and why. And the reactions from the general public have been pretty sad. Cheers to those with actual taste and critical observance abilities. Sign looks good though...!
