Well this is something that would SUIT like Disney.... the Comic Books basically are the same (they do-not all Directly Connect as Canon, but offer alternative Stories within the Universe of Alien that loosely Connect).
We see this with the BATMAN Movies... the Tim Burton are NOT like Canon to the Dark Knight Series, likewise the Batman vs Superman/Dawn of Justice and the latest Franchise.... THE BATMAN...
These are all Alternatives that do-not Connect to each other or Effect each other and are to be ENJOYED on each of their own Merits... maybe this is the WAY that Disney will Proceed with the ALIEN Franchise?
