What's next for Aliens and Predator comics:
After 30 years of publishing the greatest Aliens/Predator/AvP stories in the Xenoverse, Disney will be pulling the publishing license from Dark Horse. As the new owners of Fox, this is their right, of course. Dark Horse has been one of the longest-standing and most successful of Fox’s licensing partners over the nearly 35 years we have worked with them. Our first Aliens series, written by Mark Verheiden and illustrated by Mark A. Nelson, was a smash success, moving away from the generic storylines common in film and television-based titles and toward actual sequels to the original material. The success of Aliens led directly to another series based on a Fox science fiction film, Predator, written by Mark Verheiden and illustrated by Chris Warner. This first series was the basis for the Predator film sequel, and Warner’s iconic first issue cover served as the inspiration for the sequel’s film poster. The natural extension of those licenses led Dark Horse to come up with the monster hit, Aliens vs Predator. Mixing the two franchises was a huge success with fans, and became one of the most successful series in the history of the direct market.
After many years of shepherding these amazing worlds, Dark Horse will not be publishing any new material effective Jan 1, 2021. Thanks to all the people at Fox for the amazing run. Now, as in recent events in which new owners meant new publishers of series conceived here at Dark Horse, we have new and fresh titles to replace the old. Comics and original graphic novel series such as The Witcher, Stranger Things, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Minecraft, and Critical Role have developed huge followings and we will continue strive to be the finest publisher of licensed comics in the word. Watch for more exciting announcements coming soon.

Damit sagen auch wir Farewell zu einem Film- und Comicuniversum, das uns immer sehr am Herzen lag: Aliens und Predator wechseln zu Marvel (und damit zu Panini). Wir waren immer große Fans der Dark Horse Comics aus diesem SF Universum, was man besonders an unserem fetten Ziegelstein mit klassischen Aliens Comics von Mike Mignola, Kelley Jones, John Byrne uvm. sehen kann.
Zwei Bände kommen noch und dann heisst es: Spätestens Anfang 2021 zugreifen ... danach wird es keine Exemplare der Aliens und Predator Comics von Cross Cult mehr geben.
