LETS ROOOOOCK! The ultimate bug hunt is coming to Newport this weekend!
“Look into my eye.”
The ultimate bug hunt is coming to Newport! Comic Con Wales 2026 has locked in a massive sci-fi celebration this weekend (August 8–9), bringing together an elite trio of Colonial Marines from James Cameron’s 1986 masterpiece, Aliens.
While Michael Biehn (Hicks) unfortunately had to cancel due to a last-minute filming conflict, the remaining squad is locked and loaded. Fans at the ICC Wales will have the rare chance to meet:
- Jenette Goldstein – The unforgettable, smartgun-wielding Private Vasquez.
- Mark Rolston – Her fierce smartgun partner, Private Drake.
- William Hope – The stressed-out commanding officer, Lieutenant Gorman.
Beyond individual autographs and selfies, Monopoly Events has officially cleared a special Aliens Group Photo Op. This is your chance to stand alongside Vasquez, Drake, and Gorman for a once-in-a-lifetime professional photo.
Tickets for the event and photo sessions are flying, and Saturday entry is nearly sold out.
