I think it's the most successful blending of anime, Aliens and Predator to date. Make sure you "zoom in" on the image by clicking on it once you follow the link.
P.S. I think the cyborg with the huge gun arm is supposed to be Arnold.
P.S.S. there is a huge alien egg temple in the middle of a city in one of the pictures, it almost looks like the giger dune design for the terraformer in prometheus?

Sorry bud, but was Giger's design for the pyramid in Alien, before they changed the idea to the derelict ship, not a terraformer. Also the dark Horse comics and the Monolith games re-used the idea not as a temple but as a completed hive.

Yeah after the success of Aliens, Dark Horse comics grabbed the right to adapt it in their comics. Then in '87/88 the got the same rights regards the Predator and in 1989 after a visit to the toilet one of the team thought up AVP.
Throughout these stories the comics suggested that when left unchecked and allowed to spread the Aliens would create the hive, with the Queen in center, surrounded by eggs, with surrounding rooms filled with eggs and cocooned hosts (nurseries).
It was shown in an AVP strip when a predator called TopKnot or Broken Tusk (can't remember which) led a predator team into a hive to extract the Queen, so they could force her to lay eggs for one of their hunts.
