Aliens Omnibus: Volume 1 is a trade paperback published by Dark Horse Books on July 11, 2007.[1] It was part of the company's major Omnibus reissue program, which sought to collect and re-release the pre-existing comics from all of Dark Horse's major lines as easily-accessible trade paperbacks. As well as the Aliens comics, similar Omnibus volumes were also released for the Predator and Aliens vs. Predator lines. The book was edited by Chris Warner, and reuses the cover from the Aliens: Outbreak trade paperback by John Bolton.
