It was bound to happen, I suppose. Since the merger of Disney, Marvel, and the Alien franchise, it was only a matter of time that someone had the bright idea to do a smash-up of Ridley Scott's fantastic horror film franchise with Marvel superheroes.
The result? Surprisingly awesome.
Jonathon Hickman's four-issue Aliens Vs. Avengers is a well-written and beautifully drawn (Esad Ribic's artwork is amazing) graphic novel series that posits a very fun (and gory) "What if?..." universe in which the aliens have spread to Earth and an aging group of superheroes must fight to protect what's left of the planet and/or avenge those they couldn't save.
Hickman wisely incorporates storylines started in Ridley Scott's 2012 prequel film "Prometheus" and his 2017 follow-up film "Alien: Covenant".
I actually liked this way more than expected, and I hope that more will follow.

EN There’s a saying that goes something like “Comics are the cinema of the poor,” and I think this comic illustrates that perfectly.
At first glance, you might assume this is just a cash-grab crossover between two popular IPs — but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Hickman and Ribić form a powerhouse duo, and I was genuinely excited to see what they could create together.
The result is a strikingly cinematic and tightly written story that blends these two incredible intellectual properties in ways you’d never expect. I’d love to see this on the big screen, and honestly, I think it could work. The story is deliberately focused, using only a small, well-chosen cast of characters, which makes it especially well-suited for adaptation.
All in all: amazing story, amazing art. I think every Alien and Marvel fan will love this — I certainly did.

PT Há um ditado que diz algo como “A banda desenhada é o cinema dos pobres”, e penso que este livro ilustra isso na perfeição.
À primeira vista, pode parecer apenas um cruzamento feito para ganhar dinheiro entre duas propriedades populares — mas nada poderia estar mais longe da verdade. Hickman e Ribić formam uma dupla poderosa, e estava genuinamente entusiasmado para ver o que seriam capazes de criar juntos.
O resultado é uma história surpreendentemente cinematográfica e muito bem construída, que funde estas duas incríveis propriedades intelectuais de formas que nunca se adivinharia. Adorava ver isto no grande ecrã e, sinceramente, acho que seria possível. A narrativa é deliberadamente focada, recorrendo apenas a um pequeno grupo de personagens bem escolhidas, o que a torna especialmente adequada para uma adaptação.

A short yet grand-scale dystopia which sees the majority of the universe fall to the Alien species, with the few survivors fighting for the human race. It is just the right amount of entertainingly depressing, dark, and dreary. There are a lot of gratuitous deaths, as well as odd power scaling, but it reads well and looks amazing overall. Hickman and Ribić offer a nice change of pace and a treat for fans of both franchises.

Should they ever make another Aliens vs [Super hero name] title, it'll be hard to live up to this one. This not only fits right in with the tone of Alien (dark and depressing), but actually serves as a great sequel to Prometheus/Covenant.
It's a very somber look at the last few, remaining heroes as they face off against an overwhelming amount of Xenomorphs, the very same creatures that David 8 was keeping at the end of Alien: Covenant. I know a lot of people (despite not liking the film), were rightfully curious and left wondering what happened after David 8 was revealed to have plans to set them loose on Planet Earth and this shows that he actually got around to doing so.
Again, it's very bleak, but takes both properties seriously and that's what I love about it. The Xenomorphs are a real threat here. There's no fan-service, no cheesy anti-Xenomorph armor made by Tony Stark, only a very well-done story by Jonathan Hickman, with fine artwork by Esad Ribic. Then again, that's something I've always come to expect from this duo.
Highly recommended.

A good book. I am not a huge fan of the Aliens/Xenomorphs. To me, it crosses over more into horror than sci-fi the principle of no heroes just survivors applies to this book.
The Xenomorphs have been unleashed. Their spread can't be stopped. People have tried to fight back, quarantining has not worked, only scorched earth seems to slow the spread. What few Avengers that are left are just barely surviving. However, even this is a losing war. Now an aged Tony Stark makes a final gamble not to win but to escape, but are they just running from the frying pan into the fire?
The story is good and excellent artwork, the only thing I think was wrong with this book is that it was a bit too short. There were a lot of things going on this should have been at least a six-issue series. The book finishes with a variant covers gallery, containing full-page and thumbnail covers.

A brutal, high-stakes crossover that pits Earth’s Mightiest Heroes against the deadliest hunters in the galaxy. Hickman’s plotting brings scale and dread, while Ribić’s art makes every clash feel cinematic. Captain Marvel, Iron Man, and Cap push back against impossible odds, but the tension never lets up. An epic “what if?” scenario that delivers on spectacle and atmosphere. If you like these franchises I think you’ll like this. Although be warned it is definitely dark, but to me it was fun and what I was wanting from it.

An Ok story. It falls into that plot of "how can we kill off the heroes in interesting ways". A few neat surprises. Recommended

Another high-quality book by Jonathan Hickman, this time joined by his Secret Wars collaborator with brilliantly illustrated comics by Esad Ribić, with ambitious cosmic epicness this time featuring Fox's horrifying Aliens.
It's called Aliens vs. Avengers, and that makes for a great graphic, but this should more accurately be called Aliens Kill the Marvel Universe. It's not about the Avengers fighting the aliens, but a post-apocalyptic future in which the aliens win and destroy the world (in fact the whole universe) and it's about the aftermath for the few survivors.
Hickman knows mythology, and how to work it into an epic. The Aliens mythology, with the Engineers and Weyland synths etc., turns into a multiversal story that fits pretty well into Hickman's previous Avengers and also X-Men sagas. It's an interesting choice, I suppose Marvel gave him the broadest possible premise and let him do what he wanted. A more conventional superheroes fighting monsters and saving the day would have been fine, but this is very much something else.
There's the Wakanda space empire, there's the mutants on Mars (and what Sinister does with the Xenomorph DNA... Wow!), and most interestingly of all might be how the Venom symbiote interacts film's most famous space parasites.
AVA is definitely worth reading. Just think of it as one of those What If? stories, where the stakes kind of don't matter because it doesn't "count", and go crazy having fun with the end of the world. It has nothing to do with mainline Marvel continuity at all, so don't expect that. Bleak as hell, but a quality book if bleakness is your interest.

Un dulce para el fan de los Aliens y los Vengadores que se sobrepone a ciertas debilidades argumentales (ese laboratorio donde se experimenta con los aliens en las proximidades de un agujero negro cuya deuda temporal se necesita para explicar por qué quienes entran allí a saco tardan tanto en poder remediar el mal que descubren, pero que en sí mismo es una dificultad para la investigación; hay más) porque Hickman acierta a marcarse un Marvel Zombies fuera de continuidad. Una jugada necesaria para alejarse de los manidos patrones del cruce superhéroes vs Aliens/Predators y sacar partido a las criaturas en la senda de Warren Ellis y aquel WildC.A.T.S. vs Aliens; con más amplitud, bosquejando el inmenso terreno de juego que es el universo Marvel y haciendo lucir a un villano como Mr. Siniestro, cuya entrega a la criatura es total y da pie a una batalla final climática. El único momento donde se ven las debilidades para la acción de un Esad Ribić majestuoso en la caracterización de esos personajes envejecidos, baqueteados por un pasado de batallas perdidas, y su puesta en escena de los diferentes lugares por los que se mueve la trama.

It feels like there have been lots of apocalyptic crossovers lately, mostly in the DC world, so I was hesitant to pick up Aliens vs. Avengers. Would it just be another "familiar heroes battle an implacable foe from an alternate universe" story? Fortunately, with Jonathan Hickman on board, we get something a tad more cerebral, though there are still plenty of battle scenes.
For one thing, Aliens vs. Avengers includes far fewer Avengers and far more content from the Aliens universe than you might expect. The origins of the Alien species are delved into, with the Engineers and androids playing a big role. And by the time the main story kicks in, the Avengers are already mostly toast: we start two decades into the xenomorph invasion in the last city on Earth.
Certainly an interesting choice to follow just Bruce Banner, Miles Morales, Carol Danvers, and Tony Stark (and, later, some stray X-Men and the spacefaring Wakandans). I think I appreciated the reduced cast - it definitely contrasts with those other apocalyptic crossovers (DCeased, DC vs Vampires). The plot is also tighter than similar tales, taking place over a handful of days rather than months or years. The ending is appropriately bleak.
Esad Ribic's artwork is terrific, a perfect match to the story. Count me in for more content in this strange crossover playground.

3/5
The premise was intriguing — the opening was cinematic — but then the story started to unwind in an anticlimactic way that was not as interesting or cinematic. I liked the concept of Mr. Sinister harvesting a more powerful xenomorph but I think this should’ve been introduced in the beginning of the story in order to raise the stakes. The xenomorohs alone aren’t much of a threat to the avengers but merging with the DNA of super humans would make them a HUGE threat.
I think them being bred from powerful marvel characters by one of the avengers villains would’ve been a great start to the story, making the stakes feel higher for them. From there they could put together a team of avengers around the globe to stop the xenomorph spread worldwide. I think this would’ve made better than what we ultimately got. It wasn’t bad but could’ve been better.

This book somehow ended up being the best sequel to Prometheus/Covenant that we have received so far, a surprisingly gnarly Marvel vs Aliens book, and maybe even something like Hickman’s finale chapter of his decades long Marvel work. I know he’s been doing other stuff, but I think we can all agree that he’s been phoning in most of it. It’s just hilarious that his best work since Inferno is here in this crossover.
Esad Ribic is a generational talent, and I’m very glad he was given enough time to complete this fully. Of course I wish it was longer, but I’m very happy with what we got here.

Continuing to harness their existing license for the Aliens franchise, Marvel Comics assembles the superstar team of Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribić to deliver on a four-issue limited series where an aging Avengers team must serve as the final resistance against human extinction. Set decades into the future, the remnants of Earth's Mightiest have holed up in the last stronghold of humanity, whilst Xenomorph hordes devour all else and have dismantled all of society. A fun enough premise for Hickman and Ribić to sink their teeth into, and most of it works well.
Characterization and setup work by Hickman is pretty much top notch. The opening issue is suitably grandiose and Hickman's penchant for cinematic sequencing pairs well with Ribić's painterly art style. The dialogue is equivalent to that of a war epic, where the urgency and desperation of the Avengers are very much felt. Ribić contributes to the bleak tone well with his art featuring aging Avengers looking morose frequently, and a muted color palette to sell the doom of humankind.
It's unfortunate though that this series doesn't really feel conclusive or cohesive by its end. Hickman, per expectation at this point, sets up imaginative conditions for the Avengers to be fighting Aliens, and yet the reader is left a little cold by the climax. It feels almost tongue-in-cheek at this point that Hickman can't quite close on stuff since his last few outings with Marvel have all felt prematurely completed, and it feels particularly egregious for it to happen with a four-issue miniseries. Aliens vs. Avengers is a pretty fun time, but it feels like with Hickman and Ribić involved, there should have been more staying power to this.

A very unique blend of two of Disney's IP's, that in the wrong hands would have been terrible. Hickman and co clearly took the time to attempt to blend them together, and I admire that. this is in his wheelhouse, with the grandiose speeches about survival and civilizations. The abject horror that comes from Xenomorphs is present throughout, especially as you watch heroes you love go down. There is more Prometheus/Covenant in this than I expected, and still, it feels like it could have still gone further. So much could have been done for this, and there is still time for something as absurd as a facehugger launcher. I was disturbed, I cheated, and I was surprised at how well this shakes out. it could have been so much worse, but it also could have been better.

Took forever to end but like nothing I’ve ever read. Spectacular the art and the writing, so many ideas I never saw coming. The ending left me a little disappointed but it could mean another story. Or what I hope is it just ends, would work so well with how the alien movies are as well
December 13, 2025
This is a What If style story featuring, as the title suggests, Aliens vs. Avengers. They could have called it Aliens vs. Marvel Universe because the X-Men and others show up as well. It's tied heavily into the Aliens/Prometheus universe, at times almost too much because some of it got confusing. Very dark story. Slight spoiler alert, the ending wasn't very satisfying, at least to me. Overall not a bad read though.

With Hickman writing, I knew I would enjoy it!
The premise is simple, but the execution and ending are bleak. The Xenomorphs get seeded throughout the galaxy, including Earth. The Avengers survive longer than most, but eventually lose, as all usually do. Don't want to ruin anymore details. Read it.
Recommend.
....and yes symbiote triumphs over xenomorph. No doubt in my mind. :)

This was fun but not especially groundbreaking as a crossover. I loved some of the concepts which felt like a clever thought on what the Marvel universe would be like if it crossed over with Xenomorphs, but it could have done with another issue or two to properly flesh it out.

Brutal and beautiful and gut churning. Reminded me of reading Martha Washington for the first time and learning that my world had become big enough that I was encountering comics that didn’t follow the rules, where everything was not going to be okay.

9 - My only complaint is that this is too short. Six issues would have given Hickman the opportunity to build up the tension even more and explain more of what is going on. But I'm very happy wiht the condensed four issues we have. The art is fenomenal and makes this book a worthwile read in itself, but I liked the story as well. This is the kind of superhero/franchise-story I like best - not part of an ongoing story (that will never end by design), but a story in an alternative setting, with no status quo to protect, where consequences can be explored. This also provides a place to explore the original ideas of the characters more fully. The crossover aspect works well too, as this is not only a Marvel-story but also the best sequel to Prometheus/Covenant so far - with especially the cosmic horror themes of the Aliens-mythology teased out (the androids and the engineers in a battle over existence itself). All the time reading this I felt a sense of dread in my belly (the sign of the best horror, in my opinion), that didn't go away until the very end. This is, however short, filled with great ideas (among others the role of Venom and the plans of Mr. Sinister). But I also loved the depiction of Bruce Banner a lot. This works as a high concept SF-horror story very well, even if you do not have much of a connection to the Marvel-universe. And the horror-aspect will satisfy the fans of that genre. So, yes, I can recommend this - even if you (like me) have soured a bit on the repetitiveness of the super hero-genre.

There was so much potential for this to be an amazing book, but it never lived up to it. Even my favourite part, the art, had some issues in the details.
The plot is typical Hickman, which is unfortunate since I’m not a huge fan of how big he makes everything. I think the story bit off more than it could chew. I’ve seen all the Alien movies (and show) and I still didn’t really understand the world building he was doing/playing off of. But at the heart of it, there was a narrative that anyone could pick up and read and enjoy.
Really loved the art style and will definitely keep Ribic in mind when looking for new books. But there was some continuity/errors in the details of the art which bugged me.
There were a few “cameos” and surprise moments that were sprinkled in which helped my enjoyment too.

Just a fun book with some Avengers fighting some aliens. If that's all you're looking for, you'd be satisfied. There are a few trademarks of comics from Jonathan Hickman that I recognized here. There's some scenes of the creators of the xenomorphs or whatever, but they're not really important to this story. Maybe their from the Prometheus movie or one of the other ones I haven't seen. IDK, doesn't matter. One thing I felt was missing was the horror aspect.
The artwork is solid.
