The comic’s description reads: “For years, fans of James Cameron’s legendary Aliens have wondered whether Carter Burke, a company man more loathsome than Xeno themselves, had actually survived the traumatic events that occurred on the terraforming colony of Hadley’s Hope. Thirty-five years later, Burke is living a cursed existence on an isolated asteroid. With his once promising career in the toilet, Burke’s only remaining purpose in his life is to care for his daughter, Brie. He hates him, probably because he’s a horrible person. And when will he find out what he’s doing now? It won’t be a friendly reunion. Has Burke learned his lesson or is he about to have all of his companions killed again?

Reiser said in a statement: “For years, people have asked me about Burke, what it was like to play a ‘bad guy,’ to which my response was always ‘You say ‘bad,’ I say ‘misunderstood.'” Now the world will find out!”
