What does this have to do with Alien you may be wondering? Well, Author Joseph Conrad wrote a novel called Heart of Darkness published in 1899.

Much to the dismay of many fans, the chance to see Ripley, Hicks, and Newt together one more time on the big screen are now dead. Not happening. However, with the release of this Alien 3 comic book series we will once again see some of our favorites back in action again.
