@maddpanda531: More than likely this is a separate continuity from the old one which was established 25 years ago. I've even asked Christopher Sebela, the writer for the AvP comics if they were going to be over-riding the old comics and knocking them out of canon. His answer was no, they were not knocking the old comics out of canon whatsoever.
Scott Allie has confirmed that this is a hard reboot. Everything in the last 25 years is pretty much being ignored and they're going to be doing something relatively new. Where they will be going with these new comics is hard to say but they are also not going to be revisiting characters like Machiko Noguchi or Broken Tusk, that much is certain.
They're using the films as a spring board for these new comics, but this reboot doesn't retcon the old comics, it just ignores them and does something completely new.
Think of it like this, we now have two Alien-Predator comic continuities to follow. Pick which one you want to follow because they're both canon. Unless Fox steps out and addresses the old comics as non-canon (which I highly doubt will happen since Fox likely doesn't care), this is pretty much the way things are. Pick between new and old which you wanna follow.. or both!
Win/Win situation if you ask me. If you don't like the new comics, stick with the old.. If you don't like the old comics, go with the new. If you like both, then you are a winner!
