Aliens Epic Collection: The Original Years Vol. 4

Continuing a complete, chronological collection of Aliens comics to make you scream!

Charged with insubordination one too many times, Lt. Joseph Henry is put in charge of a ragtag platoon of the worst the Colonial Marines corps has to offer and given the thankless task of investigating Alien-related activities in a backwater sector of space. But the crew — including Carmen Vasquez, younger sister of the fan-favorite character from the movie Aliens — finds more than they bargained for when they discover a mysterious group of human-Alien hybrids they call the “Bug-Men!” Plus: A God-fearing crew member aboard the space freighter Nova Maru is forced at gunpoint to abandon ship with his captain — but as they crash-land on a small planet, they soon learn they have not entirely escaped the Nova Maru’s dreadful cargo! And more tales of Alien terror!
