If we had to highlight a science fiction franchise in the world of cinema, one of the great options would be Alien. In 1979 we witnessed the true horror in the corridors of the Nostromoa sensation that has transcended into the field of video games, books or even comics.
Alien is a fascinating universe that, following the acquisition of 20th Century Fox by Disney, will live a new beginning. In fact, Noah Hawley and FX They are already working on a TV series of the saga.
There are many doubts as to whether the series of Alien will take us to the good times of Alien (1979) or its excellent sequel Aliens (1986), directed by James Cameron. Gone are bittersweet experiences like Alien Resurrection, Alien vs Predator or even the Prometheus / Alien Covenant diptych.

Alien ranking: from worst to best
What is clear is that the Alien series will mark a new path for the IP. To begin with, the series will not feature the character of Ripley (Sigourney Weaver)and could be set on Earth (finally).
Beyond information and possible rumors, Marvel continues to surprise us with its Alien comic series. In fact, tomorrow number 6 goes on salewith a very controversial change.
Farewell to the Alien Queen of a lifetime?
Since James Cameron showed us the Alien Queen in 1986, the truth is that she has become an icon on the same level as the Xenomorph himself or even Lieutenant Ellen Ripley.
In Alien 3 or Alien vs Predator 2 we didn’t see it, but the dear Queen was once again decisive in tapes like Alien Resurrection (1997) or Alien vs Predator (2004). Will we see her on the Disney TV series?
We give you great joy: His Majesty is present in the new issue of Alien, the Marvel comic series, although in a very different way. This time it is not a gigantic beast, but a humanoid-looking alien female..
It is not clear if it is a new Queen, or if it is a resulting hybrid between a human and xenomorph DNA. The creators of the comic have not commented on the matter.
Perhaps the most veteran fans will be horrified by this humanoid version of the Queen. However, the truth is that has a lot of connection with the art of the Swiss HR Giger.
Do you remember the dog xenomorph from Alien 3? Well, at first HR Giger thought of a creature with feminine features that would seduce his victims, in the style of what Species would do years later.
The new xenomorph that Marvel poses looks quite similar to the Swiss artist’s sketches for Alien 3, and even has an air of Lilith from Diablo IV or SHODAN from System Shock.
The best anthological horror and science fiction series
At the moment it is a great unknown, so we will have to wait for the resolution of the Marvel Alien series, which will be given with this sixth number. Will Noah Hawley take this new design for his Alien TV series?
The Alien saga is a living history of science fiction. You can see all his movies on Disney Plus, from the original and legendary Alien, the eighth passenger to Alien Covenant, sequel to Prometheus and, to date, the last film in the saga born in 1979.
