It's also very bold of them that the bad press surrounding the book has seemingly spoiled the reveal of this book's villain.
Or possibly hero...?

The Alpha being in a dream sequence here but turns out to be real later. I might be wrong but I'm almost positive that's what's going to go down. The book takes place after Alien 3 (someone correct me if I'm wrong) and this is the company trying to recreate the Xenomorph and the Alpha is the first attempt at cloning Ripley. I'm almost positive that's the case.
Right on the money timeline wise, Alien 3 is in 2179, this story is 21 years later, a whole generation since Acheron. That Ripley clone attempt is a fascinating idea, it would sort of make this a prequel to Resurrection if it turned out to be the case.
In all likelihood this is yet another total start-from-scratch reboot, but in the Not Bloody Likely event that they kept this in continuity with the original Verheiden comics, this story would be taking place about 6 or 7 years after the Infestation, selective incineration, and reclamation of Earth, about contemporary with 2009's "More than Human" era.
So the golden age of Alien Cultists thriving in the shadows of society and rampant access to banned xeno-biological materials for corporations to illegally experiment upon. Kinda right on the money era-wise with Kliest and his bugmen too. Though, once again, seriously doubt Marvel would pick up any DH threads, but a girl can dream.
