what's up everyone Carlos here so today
we have a new topic to cover this is
about the predator and alien franchise
Dark Horse Comics has been affiliated
with these two franchises for a long
time many comic book stories were
published by them so they've been the
one we most likely expect to bring us
new stories but in recent news it looks
like this will change over on IGN
there's an article that talks about how
these two franchises have been acquired
by Marvel Comics but on marvel's own
website they announced new Alien and
Predator stories for 2021 the well-known
Batman artist David Finch did provide us
with two teaser images for now the first
one is cover art of the original alien
which was also known as big chap it was
a name given to be different from other
aliens but was later used in other
things like toy figures the next picture
depicts of what might happen if the
predator was brought into the Marvel
Universe and if it perhaps hunted one of
the heroes we know of but they did also
say the image does not represent an
actual story with other Marvel heroes
it's just seen as a teaser image that's
all both websites mention the same thing
they are part of their own individual
stories but who knows perhaps this could
change in the future or we might see a
cameo appearance from some Marvel
characters since these comic books are
set to launch in 2021
that does give time for Dark Horse
Comics to finish off one of the predator
stories is the five issue of predator
hunters it's also unclear if this new
ownership will affect another upcoming
comic book predator the original
screenplay
before predator there was hunters it's
the original story before it became
known as predator when we heard the news
about the Alien and Predator franchise
being taken up by Disney some fans did
have some doubts about the whole issue
fearing that Disney might turn their
stories into less graphic versions of
what they were known for but I do hope
that Disney will try to do their best in
retaining the terror
horror and violence the Alien and
Predator are known for it also gives us
new material to look forward to the
article on Marvel's website does give us
faith by this statement following the
debut of alien in 1979 and predator in
1987 the films built a cult following
and expanded rapidly to include toys
games novels and comic books eventually
leading to 2004 landmark crossover alien
vs. predator Marvel's new stories will
draw from all these properties building
on decades of multimedia storytelling
there's nothing more thrilling than a
story that will keep you at the edge of
your seat an Alien and Predator have
delivered that time and time again
Seba Sapolsky editor-in-chief of marvel
told IGN i can clearly remember where I
was when I saw each of these modern
masterpieces for the first time and
reveling and how both masterfully weave
acts or terrestrial dread and drama into
some of the most iconic scenes we've
ever seen on film and it's that legacy
that are going to live up to the
incredible legacies of both franchises
offer some of the most compelling and
exciting world building in all of
science fiction said Marvel editor Jett
Thomas it is a thrill and an honor to be
able to add to that mythology and
continuity with all new stories set
within those universes Alien and
Predator are the two of the most
identifiable iconic characters of all
time and I love them for that said Finch
but mostly it's being fortunate enough
to be a kid when they were new I've seen
every movie they've ever been in and I
cannot wait to see them wrecking havoc
in the Marvel Universe
I drew my pictures of them with a
massive smile on my face as a visual
medium comics are the perfect place to
build on those moments and we here at
Marvel are honored to begin telling
these stories for fans everywhere added
Cebulski as our release schedule
continues to return we can't wait to
share more in the coming months they
finish off by saying details an upcoming
Alien and Predator
comic book titles collections reprints
and creative teams will be shared at a
later date this also brings into
question about the comic book called
alien the original screenplay it's
supposed to be based off the original
story which was written by Dan O'Bannon
until got changed around but due to
world issues it was delayed the five
comic books are scheduled to be released
from August until December of 2020 that
should be just in time for when Marvel
takes over the franchise in 2021 so
that's all the news regarding the future
of comic books around Alien and Predator
I'm looking forward to reading those
stories in 2021 but how about you are
you still reading comic books or do you
prefer other formats of media for
storytelling tell me in the comment
section thanks for watching my name is
Carlos or acid glow and I'll see you
next time
