Aliens: Special (1997)

A 1997 Dark Horse one-shot collecting two original Xenomorph tales. In '45 Seconds' (by Darko Macan and Frank Teran), a Colonial Marine drops a pulse bomb in an infested compound and counts down. In 'Elder Gods' (by Nancy A. Collins and Leif Jones), a religious sect mistakes a Xenomorph idol for a holy relic and pays the price for their faith.
