Trivia
- Rising Threat will become the third comic book to bear the Aliens: Colonial Marines title, after the original Aliens: Colonial Marines series from 1993/1994 and the one-shot Aliens: Colonial Marines - No Man Left Behind from 2012. It is also the second such comic to serve as a tie-in to a video game — Leave No Man Behind was a limited edition tie-in for the video game also called Aliens: Colonial Marines.
