Nuff said?

"I've never worked on a licensed or 'non-superhero' property the entire time I've been at Marvel, so when all of this came together almost two years ago, I kind of jumped at the opportunity," Hickman tells EW. "I love the Aliens universe and the mythology, and obviously just how atmospherically and well-designed everything is has always gotten my creative juices flowing. It was tricky finding a way to make these two things work together, but I think Esad and I landed on something that works for fans of both franchises."

…

"Probably one of the coolest things about the project is how we've found really fun ways to 'Avengerize' Aliens and 'alien-up' Avengers," Hickman says. "I think fans will be surprised at how elegantly some of those things fit together. It really turned out to be a chocolate-and-peanut-butter situation."

The brief plot synopsis for the crossover says, "It's all led to this: Xenomorphs reach Earth! The perfect organism meets a planet of superhumans. Who will be first to fall?"

Let's hope the avengers fare better than the image heroes did.

[Morgoth]

That's... Not what I expected from Hickman.
Looking forward to it.

[Marvel Wars]

That's not really the kind of comic that I want from Hickman...
If he has fun writing it, good for him I guess.

[Riv86672]

^^^Thats not really the kind of comic I want at all. Pass.

Cool. Wolverine vs Predator and Justice League vs Godzilla sold very well. It makes sense for Marvel to play with what they can.

[Bruce Wayne]

Are there going to be data pages?

[D.Z]

Kino. Love it.

[Marvell2100]

Avengers vs Predator would be better.

[Tony Stark]

SOLD, SOLD and SOLD!

[D.Z]

Too bad no video game.

[Alan2099]

Could be fun.

[Gaastra]

If we don't have an alien fight the brood in a flashback scene they have failed!

The four-part epic is set in a new timeline many years in the future and features older, grittier versions of Marvel characters. It also will be the first-time readers will see certain parts of Alien lore in the Marvel Universe—like the home of the Engineers. In this unmissable series, Xenomorphs reach Earth, and the perfect organism meets a planet of superhumans. But who will be first to fall?

"Probably one of the coolest things about the project is how we've found really fun ways to 'Avengerize' Aliens and 'alien-up' Avengers," Hickman shared with Entertainment Weekly. "I think fans will be surprised at how elegantly some of those things fit together. It really turned out to be a chocolate-and-peanut-butter situation."
"Hickman and Ribić are storytelling masters, and they bring a cinematic quality to this that seamlessly merges the high action and soap opera that Marvel fans expect with the deep terror and cosmic awe that the Alien universe so inspires," Marvel editor Sarah Brunstad said. "Watching them cut loose across the entire lexicon of these two great franchises is jaw-dropping. ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN IN THIS BOOK—get ready."

The X-Men to the Avengers: "first time?"

(Actually not a first for Carol. She will go all Binary one them at the first sight.)
