Chris Roberson on Aliens

Io9: Are you keeping all of the original four movies as canon? Is there anything you're dropping?

Roberson: Definitely, everything in the original movies is "canon" as far as I'm concerned. We won't be directly referencing anything that happened with Ripley and company, but nothing that we'll be doing will contradict or conflict with anything we've seen before, either.

So that means the charcters are all new, right?

Roberson: This will be an entirely original cast of characters. We might well have the occasional reference to someone that we've seen on screen before, but they won't be appearing "on stage," as it were.

Are there any major changes that will surprise readers of the previous Alien comics?
