*These comics were edited as well as coloured after the release of Alien 3 to match up with the film canon as these arcs featured Newt, Hicks, & Ripley following the events of Aliens. Prometheus: Life and Death - Final Conflict Oddity comics such as topps comic panel cards or video game advertisements, for example, will not be included and will be placed in their own list so as to avoid questions about them not being included.Īlien: The Illustrated Story (adaption) ***Īliens: Apocalypse - The Destroying Angels Īliens: Headhunters Prolouge in Comic Shop News #500 *****Īlien: Resurrection (adaption, flashforward ^) **Īliens: More Than Human (includes Aliens FCBD prologue)Īliens: Colonial Marines - No Man Left Behind (Video Game Tie-in) **.As this order is done by arc some separate prologue and epilogue comics will not be listed as they were pulled into either the arcs omnibus entry and/or TPB rerelease.The Prometheous line only appears in crossovers, as such, it will not receive its own order but be included in the three line orders with this colour.Crossover comics between different universes will be placed into their own separate order as they are all non-canon if the crossover comics form their own canon then they will receive their own order.The post-hiatus 2004-20XX comics will come after the omnibus comics and will follow publication date whenever possible. In the event where a line crossover is necessary, I will order it and give it the colour of its respective line.

I will denote aliens comics as, Predator as and AvP as with the volume number of the respective omnibus replacing #. The lines will start off by being ordered as they appear in the omnibuses which cover most of the pre-hiatus 1988-1999 comics as it is the easiest and cheapest method to read them.

Predator (AvP) will be separated into their own three lines due to limited crossover between them, and issues with timelines. The movies will be assumed to have been watched, and if the movies are referenced the adaptions will be used in their place whenever possible. It will focus exclusively on the comics and not the books.

Here is the reading order for Dark Horse's Aliens, Predator, & Aliens vs.
