Alien Art Puts a Horrifying Twist on Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody
Warning: Contains spoilers for Alien #11
The latest issue for Marvel's Alien series has unveiled cover art that's giving Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" a terrifying twist. The current comic series centered around the iconic Xenomorphs has provided a range of gorgeous artwork. From seeing the terrifying alien in all its glory to seeing Facehugger parasites latch themselves on unsuspecting prey, cover artist Marc Aspinall has perfectly captured the dread and fear that has been associated with the franchise since the first film's 1979 release. What's interesting though is that the covers have all been relatively straightforward as they showcase iconic imagery like eggs, Facehuggers and the Xenomorph itself. The newly unveiled cover for Alien #12, however, features Aspinall managing to sneak in a clever homage to one of the biggest rock bands of the 1970s.
The previous issue, Alien #11 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Salvador Larroca ends on a bleak note to say the least. After Jane and her group of Spinners get caught by a settlement of androids, they're thrown into a dark room where they discover the horrifying truth of what happened to the humans at Gamma Station. All of them are dead, and they're stuck in there with a plethora of Xenomorph eggs with Facehuggers already beginning to hatch. This is the penultimate chapter to the comic's «Revival» arc, and it's taking readers down a path of unfathomable darkness and dread. What's amazing to note though is that the newly teased cover art for Alien #12 sets up the unsettling situation they're in...while also being a pretty amusing Queen reference.
