Ok, well the cat is out of the bag.
As far as comics go, I think the very first 2 or 3 Aliens series written by Mark Verheiden were by far the best of all the Aliens series, but IMO, they were destroyed not by Prometheus, but by Wilks and Billie. Reading those retconned books, you end up thinking the whole time that this should be Hicks and Newt. But yes, a retelling of those stories would be fun.
The logic presented in Alien: River of Pain works much better than the old Dark Horse retcon, but honestly I think people would much rather have Hicks and Newt. I know there will be those who disagree...
