Warning ! This clause contains spoilers for Alien Vol . 3 # 1TheAlienfilms have only shownXenomorphs invade planet Earthtwice , and in both cases , they wereAlien vs Predatorstories . However , those apparently innocuous additions to the widerAlienmythos actually take hold the electric potential for world catastrophe , as the firstAlien vs Predatormovie revealedhow Xenomorphs will eventually take over the planet , and the latestAliencomic series just confirmed it .
While the Xenomorphs were annihilate inAlien vs Predator : Requiem , the first movie left things a bit more open - ended . In 2004’sAlien vs Predator , the Yautja who teamed up with the man charter in epic combat against the Queen Xenomorph , and with the service of his human ally , the two sink the Queen to the arctic - depth of the Arctic sea , presumably to never be seen again . Unfortunately , something very similar happened in the most recent issuing of 20th Century Studios’Alien , and those Xenomorphs are far from dead .
Alien’s Xenomorphs Can Survive Freezing Temperatures, & the Comics Confirm It
InAlienVol . 3 # 1 by Declan Shalvey and Andrea Broccardo , proofreader are brought to the all - new worldly concern of LV-695 , which is basically a barren icy tundra . A crew is there extracting urine for other off - domain terraforming colony , but one sidereal day , they come across something a bit odd : a Facehugger . Not only that , but the book itself bring out that a whole portion of the moonlight is littered with Xenomorphs in stasis , trapped in the ice . The crew members alert their hirer ( which , incidentally , is Weyland - Yutani ) , and the troupe transmit a representative almost immediately to investigate the title of a lawful Xenomorph sighting . Within a few minutes of the company representative get in on - site , the Facehugger the crowd found started to thaw , revealing that Xenomorphs can live even after being frozen upstanding .
While it ’s no surprise that the Xenomorphs endure after being immobilise , since they have been able to survive the void of space , the events of this issue does give some clearness to the termination of 2004’sAlien vs Predator . Everyone think the Queen was killed after being extract down to the bottom of the Arctic sea , including an entire legion of sr. Predators , but this issue confirm that she was not . That means Earth just has a Queen Xenomorph under the ice in the Arctic in a perpetual land of stasis , ready to be found and release just like the Xenomorphs in this comic – and that is how the Xenomorphs will take over the cosmos .
If the timeline remains tentatively the same be active forward in theAlienfranchise , with the twoAvPfilms taking spot around the early 2000s with humanity ’s next Xenomorph encounter happening in the 2100s , then it makes common sense that the Queen would emerge in the more ‘ advanced ’ epoch of theAlienmythos . The furthest into the futureAliengot was withAlien Resurrection , which take place in the year 2381 , nearly three centuries after the Queen Xenomorph fell into the ice in 2004 . By that time , the Queen Xenomorph could perfectly be uncovered from the icy sleep she was pull into in Alien vs Predator , at which spot , she could lay more Ovomorphs and seed the world for a Xenomorph plague . This chain of events was always possible ever sinceAlien vs Predatorfirst came out , but it did n’t become an inevitability until this unexampled comic series , asAlienjust confirmed how Xenomorphs will stamp down the Earth .
AlienVol . 3 # 1 by 20th Century Studios is available now .
