New York Times best-selling comics writer Brian Wood gives us a gripping story of strength against all odds in the face of the most frightening monster in deep space. Joined by artists Tristan Jones, Tony Brescini, Stephen Thompson, Eduardo Francisco and Riccardo Burchielli, Defiancé brings the nightmare into stark relief. An AWOL Colonial Marine battles Aliens and her fears in the deepest corners of space to protect humanity from the Xenomorph threat. Colonial Marine Private First Class Zula Hendricks is in for the fight of her life. After a frightening discovery in deep space, Zula goes on an AWOL mission to undermine the nefarious Weyland-Yutani Synthetics Corporation. Battling for her life against aliens, space pirates, and her very own painful demons, Zula must prove that her own strength and loyalty are enough to save humanity.
