Looking for new alien comic

[RodneyBigBottom]

So I'm looking to get into a new sci-fi comic that's less about subtext and complexity and more about balls to wall, pulpy fun about humans and aliens battling each other. Does anyone have any recommendations for a comic like this? I would prefer it to be relatively new so that I won't have difficulty finding a #1, please. Thank you in advance.

Don't think I'd call it pulpy, but check out X-O Manowar from Valiant Comics. That might scratch your itch.

The story follows a young Visigoth prince named Aric in the year 400 AD (or so) who is kidnapped by an alien race called the Vine. Forced to toil in years of captivity, Aric eventually escapes and steals the Vine's greatest weapon - the sentient X-O Manowar battle armor. Aric returns to Earth to find 1600 years have passed, and he is now in modern times. The most primitive man on earth holds the most powerful weapon.

I don't read it, but there's currently an Aliens / Vampirella six-issue mini-series.

If you haven't read it I really dug the fairly recent Fire and Stone story. Also, while it's a slightly more complex than aliens and humans battling each other, the Manhattan Projects is pure mad scientist fun with loads of aliens in the mix.

Okay cool, thank you all very much, I'll check those out when I go to pick up my pulls!

Millar's Starlight (Image) might be a good idea.
X-O Manowar is not exactly what you ask for, but I'd recommend it as well.
John Carter Warlord of Mars from Dynamite is an updated pulp hero, fitting your description.

Thank you! I'll add those to the list! Any more suggestions?

The first 3 volumes of Warlord of Mars Dejah Thoris are really good



... and a new Dejah Thoris series will be launching soon



There was a mini series a while ago called Caliban by Garth Ennis ... it was pretty cool (quite intense tho)
