Marvel Comics has been putting out Alien and Predator comics in the wake of Disney acquiring Fox, and it sounds like they won’t be stopping anytime soon. Marvel will, however, re-brand their Alien and Predator comics under a new 20th Century Studios label, THR reports.
According to the site’s report, Marvel Comics is “launching a new imprint dedicated to the storied movie studio’s properties,” with Alien and Predator being among those franchises.
Also in the mix? A brand new Planet of the Apes comic book series.
“Ever since we announced our Alien and Predator comics, we hoped to create a special space within our comics line to go even bigger and bolder and keep building on the iconic moments from these properties that we all know and love,” said Marvel Comics editor-in-chief C.B. Cebulski. “This 20th Century Studios comics imprint, in collaboration with our friends at 20th Century Studios, is the perfect way to do that. And now that we’re bringing back Planet of the Apes again through classic comic book storytelling, we are absolutely thrilled to officially launch this imprint for the fans, and we’re all honored to expand upon it in the coming months.”
The Hollywood Reporter details, “The new 20th Century Studios branding will be seen on Apes No. 1 in April and be followed by Alien No. 1 and Predator No. 2.”
