Professor Ernst Kleist has achieved the impossible: he has genetically engineered powerful, obedient Aliens. When an operative from the funding organization is sent to do a routine check-up, he finds Kleist’s methods to be… unorthodox. “There is an adage,” says Kleist, “about omelets… and breaking eggs.” The horror of nature is dwarfed by the terror of the man toying with it! Ian Edginton weaves a complex tale of a man driven to harness nature’s most violent creature, and the horrors involved with what he must become to achieve his goal. The terror is exquisitely illustrated by Will Simpson in what proved to be the most harrowing Aliens tale yet. Brace yourself for Aliens: Rogue!

Story/Spoilers
In Issue #1, The mysterious Mr. Kray is a corporate spy extraordinaire, but even he’s never faced a mission this dangerous! Kray has been sent to Charon Base to check out research director Ernst Kleist’s genetic experiments on Aliens. Kleist is trying to breed the beasties into something useful — something that humans can control. But workers on Charon are starting to disappear one by one, and Kleist definitely knows more about it than he’s letting on. Kray and his pilot, Palmer, may be the only ones who can unravel Kleist’s schemes… that is, if they make it past his “pet” Aliens!

Next in issue #2, Things are getting more curious and curious on Charon base; the more Kray and Palmer find out about Dr. Kleist’s research, the less they like it. Most of the Marines stationed there have been “executed” despite their commanding officer’s protests, and it looks like the few remaining grunts are headed for a nasty new kind of bug-hunt. Meanwhile, since Kleist’s attempts to breed a tame Alien Queen have all failed miserably, he’s trying a new approach – one that involves using Kray’s DNA, with or without his consent!

Next in issue #3, When a genetically engineered Alien refrains from attacking an injured Kray, it seems that Kleist’s attempts to breed a “tame” Alien have finally paid off. Meanwhile, the Sci-Tech elite patrol are deployed to hunt down Palmer, who hopes to rescue Kray by way of the armory. The race for survival is accelerated, as Kleist’s latest creation proves to be both highly motivated… and dangerously unpredictable.

Finally in issue #4, The Alien Queen was regarded as the most uniquely dangerous creature in the galaxy… until Professor Kleist created something even more unique. In this final issue of Aliens: Rogue, Kleist’s genetically engineered Alien King wreaks havoc upon Charon base, while Kray, Palmer, and the ever-resourceful Deegan attempt to escape from Aliens and Sci-Tech special forces. When the Alien King locates the captive Queen, not even the brilliant Kleist knows whether the Queen will greet her mate… or meet her match!
