Alien: Earth is the newest bankruptcy within the Alien collection, however it’s some distance from the primary. No longer best does the franchise reside in its many films, however the Alien universe additionally exists in comedian books, nearly all of that have been printed via Darkish Horse Comics.
The Darkish Horse technology of Extraterrestrial beings comics considerably contributed to the wider lore of the collection. Sadly, not anything that came about in the ones books is, strictly talking, canon. However, because the Alien franchise continues to extend within the type of a tv collection, Alien: Earth has the ability to mend that.
Many downright stunning moments within the Darkish Horse Extraterrestrial beings comics can be absolute best for a long-form canon collection like Alien: Earth. So absolute best, in reality, that it could be no marvel if enthusiasts requested themselves: if Alien: Earth does not come with those 10 stunning scenes, what is the level?

Alien vs Ninja
Alien‘s Xenomorphs are identified for fighting Colonial Marines and Predators, however one comedian displays Xenomorphs preventing an absolutely other form of enemy: ninja. In Extraterrestrial beings: Song of the Spears, ninjas ruin right into a pharmaceutical corporate to scouse borrow an Ovomorph (Facehugger egg) and to find themselves surrounded via Xenomorphs.
The combat between the ninjas and Xenomorphs is as epic as it’s distinctive, particularly for a Sci-Fi franchise. However the most productive section is that it occurs on Earth, as Xenomorph wisdom and experimentation have grow to be reasonably commonplace at this level within the franchise.
If Alien: Earth ultimately normalizes the Xenomorphs’ life on Earth the similar means Darkish Horse Comics did, then there is no explanation why this ‘Alien vs Ninja’ scene could not exist in a later season.

Human/Xenomorph Hybrids
Alien: Earth explores the theory of human/artificial hybrids. However what about human/Xenomorph hybrids? That is a hellish amalgamation presented in Extraterrestrial beings: Colonial Marines, and those alien hybrids had a reputation: Trojan horse-Males. The Trojan horse-Males traveled the cosmos as armed infantrymen, spreading Xenomorph lifestyles anywhere they went.
The Trojan horse-Males were not merchandise of human experimentation, nor had been they created via the Xenomorphs intentionally. They had been common people who were mutated via medication derived from the Xenomorphs, a horrific (but attention-grabbing) facet impact of introducing Xenomorph DNA into their our bodies willingly.

Xenomorph-Derived Medication
The Trojan horse-Males mutated as a result of they took medication made from Xenomorphs, however Extraterrestrial beings: Colonial Marines is some distance from the one time enthusiasts listen about those medication. The aforementioned Extraterrestrial beings: Song of the Spears and Extraterrestrial beings: Genocide additionally closely function Xenomorph medication, two of that are referred to as Royal Jelly and Xeno Zip.
Royal Jelly is a hallucinogen that faucets human minds into the similar frequency of verbal exchange because the Xenomorph, whilst Xeno Zip is an ‘higher’ that briefly offers people the power and pace of a Xenomorph (however now not the creature’s sturdiness).
Those medication are why pharmaceutical corporations are as obsessive about Xenomorphs as Weyland-Yutani or Prodigy, as they’re reasonable to make (certainly, the firms principally best want a Queen Xenomorph) and are extremely addictive. Medication like those can be a great addition to Alien: Earth.
7
Xenomorph-Worshipping Cults
As showed in Alien: Earth, Xenomorphs keep up a correspondence via high-frequency sounds that the human ear can’t listen, however that the human thoughts can intercept. When there are sufficient Xenomorphs round people (ie, hives on Earth), some individuals are pushed subtly insane via the Xenomorphs’ verbal exchange.
Those other folks grow to be more and more occupied with the Xenomorphs to the purpose the place they lengthy for the ‘include of the Queen’ via impregnation. They worship the Xenomorph Queen, and so they imagine it an ideal honor and privilege to hold a Xenomorph inside them.
Some cults use medication like Royal Jelly to grow to be extra hooked up with the Xenomorph hive, which best will increase their eager for impregnation. If Xenomorphs are going to stick on Earth in Alien: Earth, then the collection will have to completely introduce those annoying cults.

Xenomorphs Breeding People
Xenomorphs have at all times been portrayed as extremely smart, and so they use their intelligence for something above all others: breeding. The Xenomorph’s number one serve as is to develop its hive in any respect conceivable. And, in Extraterrestrial beings: Labyrinth, they discovered a in point of fact annoying option to just do that.
The Xenomorph hive featured on this comedian used to be loss of life, and the extraterrestrial beings best had a handful of people left for replica. So, the Xenomorphs saved the susceptible and ravenous people alive via feeding them items of former hosts (ie, useless other folks) ahead of making an attempt to reproduce the people like livestock.
This may well be the horrific destiny of Netherland in Alien: Earth if a possible Xenomorph outbreak had been contained at the island. And now that enthusiasts know that is a chance, it is laborious to consider the collection going another means.
5
Alien’s Connection to The Terminator
Alien: Earth has taken the Alien franchise to Earth for the primary time, opening the potential for canonizing a connection made in Darkish Horse Comics with The Terminator franchise. It is printed in Extraterrestrial beings vs Predator vs The Terminator that Alien takes position in The Terminator‘s long run after humanity defeats Skynet.
Granted, it is much more likely that the Alien universe will grow to be formally hooked up with Blade Runner because of Alien: Earth than The Terminator. Alternatively, the comics have already established the relationship, and all Alien: Earth has to do is verify it.

Additional Exploration of the Xenomorph’s DNA Reflex
Alien enthusiasts have identified for years that the Xenomorphs undertake characteristics in their hosts, even though the films (and now the TV display) infrequently discover that facet in their biology. The nearest enthusiasts got here to this used to be in Alien 3 with the Runner Xenomorph, which used to be born from a canine.
Alien comedian books, on the other hand, have explored the DNA Reflex broadly, however none so completely as Kenner’s Extraterrestrial beings: Area Marines. Those comedian books had been packaged with Kenner Extraterrestrial beings motion figures and served as in-story explanations for the number of Xenomorph toys.
Alternatively, simply because those comics had been made to promote toys does not lead them to any much less lore-accurate. And now it is time for Alien: Earth to discover what a Xenomorph would appear to be after gestating inside of an enormous mantis or alien rhino.
3
Xenomorph Synthetics
Synthetics seem to be a vital facet of Alien: Earth, specifically within the context of human-synthetic hybrids. Alternatively, there is a extra fascinating artificial ‘hybrid’ within the comics that has but to be delivered to the display screen, one that might be absolute best for Alien: Earth – Artificial Xenomorphs.
Darkish Horse Comics presented an artificial Xenomorph named Jeri in Extraterrestrial beings: Stronghold. To be transparent, this wasn’t an artificial with the thoughts of a Xenomorph (just like the hybrids in Alien: Earth); Jeri used to be merely an artificial that resembled a Xenomorph. Alternatively, that on my own gives some a laugh narrative probabilities.
Within the comics, Jeri used to be used to infiltrate Xenomorph hives undetected. Plus, Jeri used to be a foul-mouthed, chain-smoking, gun-toting Xeno-Synth, and that visible on my own is sufficient to warrant his live-action creation.

The Black Goo’s Terraforming Functions
The Black Goo is a substance derived from Xenomorphs (particularly Facehuggers) that the Engineers used to seed lifestyles on worlds around the universe. Peter Weyland used to be obsessive about refining the Black Goo to grant himself immortality, which is why David dubbed the substance “Prometheus Fireplace“.
In Darkish Horse Comics’ Alien, Predator, and Prometheus crossover miniseries Fireplace and Stone, it is printed that the Black Goo additionally has the ability to terraform complete worlds, because it did to the moon featured in Prometheus, LV-223.
With Alien: Earth‘s heightened center of attention on clinical breakthroughs, it could be attention-grabbing if the collection delved additional into the Black Goo’s terraforming features, particularly as Weyland-Yutani is canonically at the verge of launching its “Development Higher Worlds” marketing campaign.

The Creation of Metal Staff
This access if truth be told is not from a Darkish Horse Extraterrestrial beings comedian, however fairly Surprise Comics’ Alien: Icarus. Metal Staff is a staff of artificial particular forces. They make the most of their heightened power, pace, sturdiness, and near-immortality to take on missions that human infantrymen may just best dream of achieving.
Alien: Earth had already teased a an identical staff when Prodigy’s “Misplaced Boys” sprang into motion following the Weyland-Yutani send crash-landing in Prodigy Town. Now, all Alien: Earth must do is extend on that concept with a sound artificial particular forces staff, similar to within the Alien comics.
