Looks like Captain America is going to have a few harsh words for those xenomorphs, as Marvel has announced Alien Vs. Captain America at San Diego Comic-Con.
Written by Frank Tieri, with art by Stefano Raffaele, the big question given the series is set during World War II is if a face-hugger will jump on Hitler’s face and then a chestburster will come out of Hitler and the resulting xenomorph will take on the main characteristics of Hitler, aka, being a “just okay” artist.
“Ya know, sometimes a project comes along and you just have to pinch yourself that you get to be involved with it,” Tieri said via press release. “I mean, here you have two of the most iconic properties in entertainment—Captain America, who is basically the ultimate hero, going against Alien, one of the ultimate names in horror. As a writer, what more can you ask for than that? Now I pitched this knowing I wanted it to be a period piece with WW2 as the backdrop because I knew it would give me so many fun elements to play with… Cap vs the Red Skull, Baron Strucker in the Himalayas looking for Attilan, Bucky interacting with the Howling commandos, Hydra using the Xenomorphs as weapons, etc. We’ve got all that in the and more as fans can expect a nice mix of horror and heroics… and more than a few surprises thrown in for good measure.”
A few surprises, hm? Like… XenoHitler? I guess we’ll find out when Alien vs. Captain America #1 hits stores on November 5, 2025. Check out the synopsis and covers by Leinil Francis Yu and Dan Panosian, below.
SMASHING THROUGH, CAPTAIN AMERICA COMES FACE TO FACE WITH—ALIENS?!
It’s World War II and Hydra seeks a new weapon to defeat the Allies and win the war. To that end, the Red Skull has sent Baron Strucker on an expedition to the Himalayas to find the fabled city of Attilan. But instead of finding the Inhumans, Strucker uncovers something much more deadly. Much more… Alien. Can Captain America and the Howling Commandoes stop the Skull and his newfound xenomorph weapons… or will the First Avenger learn that in war-torn Europe… no one can hear you scream?
