I guess I won't mention it specifically since there's literally someone three posts up who hasn't read either draft, but yeah there's one key part of both drafts that's a lot like something they did in Alien Covenant that's along those lines. I did like how both drafts acknowledged the potential for the Alien to have originated as a bio-engineered weapon, but I did think they went a bit crazy with the "New Beasts", especially in the first draft.
It kinda looks like the comic is going to be taking the second draft as its main inspiration, but with some changes here and there that weren't present in either, but I'd almost prefer thy'd adapted the first just because of how absolutely nuts it is, as well as clearly the version that would have required a far bigger budget to realise on-screen.
