It looks like artist Sam Kieth is working on another Aliens comic book.

Back in the early 1990s Kieth illustrated the third series of Aliens comics that was set about a decade after the movie Aliens (1986) in a world where the movie Alien 3 (1992) never happened. Here, characters Hicks and Newt returned to Earth to find it swarming with aliens.

After Alien 3 was released which opened with the deaths of both Hicks and Newt, later releases of the comics were edited and Hicks was renamed Wilks and Newt Billie.

I always thought that after the movie Aliens the Dark Horse Aliens comics were much better than the films.
