Dark Horse Comics will adapt William Gibson’s Unused Alien 3 script which saw Hicks and Bishop become the leads, while Ripley spent most of the script in a coma. The plan was to do a two-part story, with Ripley returning in Alien 4.

Here’s Dark Horse’s official synopsis.

“Following the deadly events of Aliens, the Union of Progressive Peoples intercepts the spaceship carrying the hibernating bodies of Ripley, Hicks, Newt, and Bishop. But unbeknownst to them, they have also picked up another deadly passenger whose discovery will unleash a race between two governments to weaponize the xenomorph in this horrifying and poignant Cold War-themed thriller.”
