Aliens is a 1986 American science-fiction action horror film written and directed by James Cameron, and starring Sigourney Weaver, Carrie Henn, Michael Biehn, Paul Reiser, Lance Henriksen, William Hope, and Bill Paxton. It is the sequel to the 1979 film Alien and the second installment of the Alien franchise. The film follows Weaver’s character Ellen Ripley as she returns to the planet where her crew encountered the hostile Alien creature, this time accompanied by a unit of space marines. Now in this follow-up comic adaptation…

Following the events of the movie Aliens, Corporal Hicks, Lt. Ripley and the girl called Newt (due to changes from Dark Horse, Hicks is changed Wilks and Newt is changed to Billie) hoped that the demons known as Aliens had finally been destroyed. Unfortunately, human greed shattered those hopes. The Company had never ceased its attempts to capture an Alien for study in their weapons labs, and eventually, it succeeded in bringing one back to Earth. It was not too long afterward that Earth was overrun by these unstoppable monsters. Off in space, meanwhile, a crazed military commander named Spears has been doing the unthinkable. He has been trying to train the Aliens to fight their own kind. To accomplish this, he has locked civilian terraformers in glass tubes, and literally fed them to the Aliens in a bizarre conditioning process. Just as terrifying, the Aliens seem to be learning…

Story/Spoilers
In issue #1, Picking up where Aliens: Outbreak left off, Sergeant Wilks, Billie, and the damaged synthetic Bueller have just escaped the alien-infested Earth on a cargo ship. The crew discovers the ship is ferrying aliens to an unknown destination. After killing the aliens, the ship autopilots to a military post commanded by General Spears…

Next in issue #2, The world goes mad for Wilks and Billie. In their desperate attempt to escape an Earth overrun with Aliens, their ship lands at a top-secret Marine Base where a crazed General is attempting to train Aliens for use in battle!

Next in issue #3, the aliens have escaped captivity and begin taking over the military base. Wilks and Billie manage to hide on the same ship General Spears uses to escape. Once aboard the ship Wilks and Billie realize it is full of “trained” aliens that Spears intends on using to take back the infested Earth. The synthetic Bueller also manages to send a transmission saying goodbye to Billie as they were separated earlier. Since Bueller is a synthetic and torn in two, the aliens do not engage him in any way. Bueller is left alone and abandoned in the doomed military base.

Finally in issue #4, Finally, Billie and Wilks join with the survivors of General Spear’s army of Marines in a desperate attempt to reclaim the Earth from the Aliens, but it is an effort that seems to be doomed from the start! However, help comes from an unexpected quarter…
