Hey, guys. Weird question but what are some books, games, comics, etc. that play off of Sigourney Weaver’s fantastic final message for the Nostromo? An example off the top of my head would be Hooper’s message in Out of the Shadows.

Don’t ask why I want to know this but is there any word of the CIA in Alien media? I’m gonna be honest, too lazy to look through my stuff again so kinda just seeing if anyone somehow has any knowledge. Again, do not ask.
I noticed that there are no plot sections for any of the Predator: Eyes of the Demon articles. I have the book and was wondering if there’s a specific reason for the plot sections absence or if I’m free to add the synopsis.
I've been looking around and it seems that both of the Alien Fire and Stone comics have been "deemed" non-canon. Why is this? These comics are mentioned in both the Weyland-Yutani Report and in River of Pain. As far as my knowledge goes, these stories were never explicitly or purposefully retconned. Whats up?
In Alien: River of Pain, Russ dies 24 hours after implantation. In Aliens: Aftermath, its shown that Russ was frozen. What takes priority canon here?
@SynthNorbert but this is the Alien vs. Predator wiki, and things like the AVP movies that contradict films like Prometheus do not have the non-canon format. The rest of Fire and Stone/Life and Death also do not have this format. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, apologies
@SynthNorbert trust me, bought it earlier today and was planning on it
Hey, just finished reading Field Report. Checked out the Xenopedia article and noticed that is was deemed non-canonical. I thought it checked out lore wise. Why was this?
Hey, I haven't read Prey to the Heavens but I was looking at its article (I do that when deciding what should be on my timeline) and it mentions Yutani. Yutani was not officially founded until 2074 but it has been active since at least 2029. Prey to the Heavens most likely takes place in 2009. 2009 is also its release date meaning that Prometheus hasn't yet retconned the AVP films which shows Yutani in 2004. Thoughts?
@SynthNorbert well the Second Engineer is the one from Life & Death while the Last Engineer was the one from Prometheus. The Last Engineer was found in a sarcophagus in the LV-223 temple but so was the Second Engineer. I am wondering if the Last Engineer wasn’t the only survivor or if the Second Engineer came after that event
So, I am very stupid. Was the Second Engineer a survivor of the Pathogen outbreak in the LV-223 temple along with the Last Engineer or did the Second Engineer arrive after? I feel as if the answer is very obvious and I’m missing it.
@SynthNorbert I believe so
@SynthNorbert Its been a while since I read the Earth War trilogy, I should probably reread it. That seems about right, it sucks that the story didn't get the full treatment it was going to get, with 4 or so issues, but eh, I really enjoyed it!
Just read through AVP: Thicker Than Blood, can't find out when it takes place though. I was thinking probably after Life and Death but thats just based off the real world publication dates. Any input?
Just finished Predator: The Preserve. I was assuming that it took place in the late 2050’s but one person mentions the 2060’s. Just plain and simple, can yautja time travel? If not then WHEN DOES THIS COMIC TAKE PLACE???
I know that the consensus is that Predators takes place in its release year, 2010, but its stated that The Predator happens before hand despite that movie taking place in 2018. I looked at the Hunting Grounds tapes but that didn't help too much. Anybody have any feedback?
@TheD00dlebug Firefly is ABSOLUTELY not canon. Fun references but the timeline does not match up at all
@TheD00dlebug I don’t think global warming would fit too well as Peter Weyland completely stopped it in 2016
@SynthNorbert I tried so hard to cram Blade Runner in but it makes everything so messy. Planet colonization happened earlier in Blade Runner than in Alien, and most importantly, it can not fit in any pretty way with Predator
Just read the original Alien vs. Predator comic and the follow up comics in that storyline (I love TWW). Seeing the rules explained in Alien 3, I just don’t think there’s any way these books can be considered canonical with the explanation of DNA Reflex and the such. Rynths simply create humanoids despite them not being…humans. Thoughts?
