we seem to be divided at times at what IS canon. as no one who is in the 'qualified' position has actually stated what is canon, I would say it is easier for us, the fans, to say what ISNT canon rather than what is. I personally, would include books and comics and just say the avp movies are not canon. what r ur thoughts?

"I read the xenopedia often.I find it reliable.It was some of the things i read there that led me to starting my chestburster thread."

I generally don't find Aliens fan wikis terribly reliable, but I had a read of their canon policy, and while I didn't agree with it, it was well considered.

I think it's well put together.I wasn't certain about some of the chestburster stuff though.It seems to me that it relied too much on Colonial Marines.Also The Fire and Stone series,are they canon?

Colonial Marines, no; Fire & Stone, yes.

Curiously, yes. Each franchise license (Aliens, Prometheus, AvP, Predator) all make up a single connected storyline for both Fire & Stone and Life & Death.

Which obviously throws up questions about how the Predator and AvP films fit into things, to which I do not have answers.

Fire and Stone is canon??? There is only one answer: HA HA HA HA HA... ha ha ha ha ha... HA HA HA...

It is canon until it makes money, then it flies away - similarly to the Col Marines.
