Poor Communication Kills
 Alien (Marvel Comics) (Comic Book) / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: In Aliens: Aftermath, Cutter finds his aunt Jennette Vasquez's gun in the ruins on LV-426. He's clearly agitated, and repeatedly tells Woody not to come over to him, increasingly loudly. Woody ignores his objections and walks over - then falls through the rotten floor. By the time Cutter finally starts to explain why he's warning Woody, it's too late.

Hollywood Acid
 Alien (Marvel Comics) (Comic Book) / int_3133d1d7
comment
A new variant of the usual Hollywood Acid blood is used in Aliens: Aftermath. The pale xenomorph that stalks the Renegade XM team on the frozen, radioactive world of LV-426 has acidic blood that eats through clothing and objects as usual, then instantly freezes any flesh it reaches - which is swiftly followed by the frozen body parts shattering.

comment
Death by Transceiver: At the end of Aliens: Aftermath, we get Woody's camera feed as he approaches Subject Zero, whose cryo-freeze capsule is failing. The last thing we see is a close-up on a young Chest Burster's jaws as it tears free of Subject Zero and lunges towards Woody's face.

Stylistic Suck: Aliens: Aftermath opens with a broadcast message from Cutter and Renegade XM, explaining why he's blowing up a Weyland-Yutani fueling station. It's deliberately grainy art with lines across the panels, to represent the video quality.

"Everybody Dies" Ending
 Alien (Marvel Comics) (Comic Book) / int_55cd4012
comment
"Everybody Dies" Ending: Aliens: Aftermath. None of the Renegade XM team seem to leave LV-426 alive. Drake's Impaled with Extreme Prejudice, Lela's ambushed and killed by the pale xenomorph and Woody's Death by Transceiver scene shows a Chest Burster attacking his face. Cutter has some level of Uncertain Doom - he may or may not manage a Mutual Kill with the pale xenomorph - but is strongly implied to be dead regardless of the alien's fate.

Symbol Swearing: Used as standard. The series may be darker and bloodier than most of Marvel's comics, but the language stays fairly clean.

*Drool* Hello: A recurring theme, as with the original films. The first hint of an imminent xenomorph attack is often drool dripping from above.

comment
Alien Blood: As with the original films, the xenomorphs' blood is Hollywood Acid, weaponised for Bloody Murder and capable of almost instantly dissolving metal and humans. A new variant of the usual Hollywood Acid blood is used in Aliens: Aftermath. The pale xenomorph that stalks the Renegade XM team on the frozen, radioactive world of LV-426 has acidic blood that eats through clothing and objects as usual, then instantly freezes any flesh it reaches - which is swiftly followed by the frozen body parts shattering.

Hologram Projection Imperfection
 Alien (Marvel Comics) (Comic Book) / int_c5a1fb94
comment
Hologram Projection Imperfection: In Aliens: Aftermath, the MU-TH-UR 7000 system's Projected Man interface has some visible distortion. Given it's old, abandoned technology in a ruined base, this initially seems to be justified. Although it's actually justified by The Reveal that Renegade XM's systems have been hacked by Weyland-Yutani and they're unknowingly talking to an interstellar feed from Ms. Yutani herself, not a computer system.

One of the hallmarks of the original films, and a recurring theme of the comics. Often combined with an attack from behind or someone getting Impaled with Extreme Prejudice.

Surprisingly Sudden Death: One of the hallmarks of the original films, and a recurring theme of the comics. Often combined with an attack from behind or someone getting Impaled with Extreme Prejudice. In Aliens: Aftermath, Drake, the team's pilot, steps outside the dropship to do some maintenance, gets ambushed by the pale xenomorph, and is impaled from behind by its tail. She's killed too quickly to scream.

You Killed My Father: In Aliens: Aftermath, Cutter's campaign against Weyland-Yutani is fuelled by the deaths of his family. His parents went into cryo-freeze and died in transit, two of many casualties after W-Y cut safety standards to reduce costs. His aunt was a Colonial Marine, Private Jennette Vasquez, who died in mysterious circumstances on a W-Y mission.
