Over the course of its run, numerous different individuals worked on the series. It was written by Chris Warner, Paul Guinan, Kelley Puckett and Dan Jolley; illustrated by Tony Akins, Allen Nunis and John Nadeau; inked by Guinan, Terry Pallot, Ande Parks, John Del, Bob Smith, Jim McDermott and Jordi Ensign; colored by Matt Hollingsworth, Pamela Rambo and Doug Jones; lettered by Clem Robins; and edited by Randy Stradley and Dan Thorsland. The series featured cover art by Robert Mentor and Joe Phillips. The story takes place after the destruction of Charon Station. It focuses on a rag-tag unit of Colonial Marines investigating Xenomorph-related activities in a backwater sector of space and coming across a mysterious group of Human-Alien hybrids loosely referred to as the "Bug-Men." The series also featured the appearance of the first relative of a character from the Alien film series in the form of Carmen Vasquez, younger sister of the eminently popular Private Jenette Vasquez from the film Aliens. In the Aliens comics line, Aliens: Colonial Marines was preceded by Aliens: Horror Show. In the midst of what was undoubtedly Dark Horse's most active year of Aliens output, it was published concurrently with Aliens: Rogue, Aliens: Sacrifice, Alien3: Terminal Addiction, Aliens: Taste, Aliens: Crusade, Aliens: Backsplash, The Compleat Aliens, Aliens: Labyrinth, Aliens: Salvation, Aliens: Cargo, Aliens: Alien, Aliens: Music of the Spears, Operation: Aliens and Aliens: Stronghold; the unreleased comic Aliens: Matrix was also due to be published concurrently. After its conclusion, Aliens: Colonial Marines was followed by Aliens: Earth Angel.
