Aliens vs. Predator: Xenogenesis formed the Aliens vs. Predator component of Dark Horse’s franchise-crossing Xenogenesis event in 1999, and was released in conjunction with Aliens: Xenogenesis and Predator: Xenogenesis. The three loosely interconnected stories all share a similar new art and storytelling style that was a departure from the those typically found in the series until then. The conclusion of Xenogenesis also marked the beginning of a ten-year hiatus in the regular publication of new Aliens vs. Predator comics. During this time, the only original comics to be released would be a handful of movie tie-in issues.

And now, Dark Horse presents “Aliens vs. Predator: Xenogenesis”. Two ex-punks out on parole and enslaved by The Man think they’ve been asked to do a little burglary, specifically to liberate a secret genetic weapon from a rival corporation. Two tickets to paradise will be their payment. And despite the condescending approach of the strike team sent on the mission with them, it should be easy. But this particular warehouse holds more than a horrible weapon; two horrible species are battling it out within the locked complex, and the humans are in the way.

Story/Spoilers:
In issue #1, Andi Watson and Mel Rubi kick it up a notch – and AvP will never be the same!!! A girl named Charley is doing time on a prison colony. Her boyfriend Elliot has a step-mom in The Company who’s willing to get Charley out of stir… for a price. All Charley and Elliott have to do is pull a heist at a rival company’s research complex. Simple, until a certain dreadlocked hunter from space frees the research. And you get just one guess as to what that “research” is.

Next in issue #2, Charley and Elliott located the deadly “research” being conducted by a rival to The Company, and now they’re trapped inside the complex! When a Predator comes to free and hunt this captive Alien, Charley and Elliott might have a ticket out of this mess… if they’re not casualties of the crossfire.

Next in issue #3, It’s all just one big mess! Charley and Elliott survive an attack by Aliens and reach the safe containing the prized Alien eggs. Too bad someone or something got to it first! Problem is, Charley and Elliott’s employer won’t give them the security codes to get out of the complex until they’ve completed their mission. What’s worse? A particularly creative Predator has turned the entire complex into a hunter’s maze!

Finally in issue #4, With Aliens overrunning the secret complex, the remaining people trapped inside are in the middle of a deadly cat-and-mouse game between the creatures and the ultimate hunter the Predator! And Charley and Elliot are in the most dangerous predicament of all even if they survive the Aliens, they’ve been chosen as the Predators’ new prey! What began as a simple mission of corporate piracy has turned into a horrific battle for survival!
