The story begins with Superman taking a well-deserved recreational visit to the peaceful world of New Genesis. Meanwhile, on the grim world of Apokolips, an intruding spacecraft crashes down to the planet’s surface. Upon further investigation the ruler of Apokolips, Darkseid, discovers the craft holds embryonic lifeforms of an unknown origin (the menacing Aliens from the 20th Century Fox movies and Dark Horse comics). Darkseid, recognizing the deadly potential of these creatures, immediately begins to amass an army of the beasts to assault New Genesis. Warned of a coming doom foreseen by the Source, the Man of Steel and the New Gods prepare for a battle against the combined might of Darkseid and ferocity of the Aliens…

Story/Spoilers
In issue #1, Superman faces the eternal ferocity of Aliens again in this explosive four-part series! Darkseid is bad enough, with his forces of Parademons and loyal henchmen on Apokolips, but, when a ship carrying the Alien brood crashes into his domain, will he finally find the key to creating a relentless, indestructible army? On a visit to New Genesis, Superman is welcomed by the New Gods, including Orion and Highfather. A warning predicts that a horror will soon visit New Genesis. Will even the might of the Man of Steel, combined with scores of super-powered beings, be enough to stop Darkseid’s new hordes?

Next in issue #2, When a ship carrying an Alien brood crashes into Darkseid’s domain, he breeds a new horror to unleash upon the homeworld of the New Gods. Superman, visiting super- powered friends on New Genesis, must once again face the threat of the near-unstoppable Aliens when a hideous Parademon army, impregnated with Aliens, launches a merciless surprise attack on the otherwise peaceful planet. Dozens of super-beings rally to protect a world now covered with infected Parademons about to burst. Darkseid’s horde is bad enough, but how deadly will their Alien spawn be? A surprise ending raises the stakes in this war to a level unforeseen by Superman and his mighty allies!

Next in issue #3, Like all true heroes, Superman tries to protect life, all life, even in the pitch of battle. But Superman has rarely seen a scourge like the Aliens. While a few of these creatures may not be a match for one with Superman’s near limitless powers, a few hundred of them unleashed like rats in the otherworldly utopia of New Genesis DOES pose a considerable problem. What’s worse, these aren’t just any Aliens, but the scions of Darkseid’s Parademons, used as willing hosts for their master’s devious machinations. But even THIS is not the ultimate horror. Darkseid has his sights set on a certain brooding inhabitant of New Genesis…and has saved the most insidious role for him!

Finally in issue #4, While Orion seethes, seeking vengeance on Darkseid for unleashing a Parademon/Alien horde on the New Gods, Superman attempts to focus on their mission, to find and incapacitate the alien queen at the heart of this horrific infestation. Brainpower, as much as physical battle, bested the ravenous creatures in Superman’s first encounter, but will the combined skills of Superman and the “gods” of New Genesis be enough to overcome hundreds of Darkseid’s Apokolips-Aliens hybrids? And what will be the final fate of Orion, victimized by an alien face-hugger? Can even a New God withstand the shrieking birth of a chestburster?
