There something interesting I noticed about alien issue 7 that nobody seems to be talking about they bring up something called the extinction conlies.Conlies that are controlled by AI.In a interview Noah Hawley talks about how the show is about man primordial past and his AI control future.And it seems this is a recent thing to in the alien timeline so we can guess the show takes place after aliens.
I know the comic hasn't directly acknowledged
Alien: Resurrection, but in that regard it does almost feel like it is setting the stage for the Autons. And riffing on the "legacy" of David's mentality and his goals in the process (albeit, once again, indirectly and not by name).
I think the third arc of the comic, which will kickstart in issue 13 and is apparently supposed to run for a dozen issues rather than six, is going to delve more into the AI side of things as its primary focus.
I don't think anything here is explicitly setting up the show (the various parties at Marvel, Titan, and Cold Iron can't even seem to keep things straight among one another), and the on-screen material is always in flux itself, but I wouldn't be shocked if Hawley does plan on delving more into the AI side of things as well based on his quote, perhaps even with a similar lens as to how Ridley explored the Alien as a sort of near-perfect "construct" with direct ties to artificial beings in
Covenant.
