Alien concept art...

I don't quite get this.  Its cool, don't get me wrong, but are they working on a prequel and sequel to the series at the same time????

Artistic license I get but this is a step too far.  To rig up Ripley in a suicide vest is a bit more than distasteful, to a Western audience it should be an automatic "don't do".  I am probably jumping to conclusions but is the writer equating the extremist fight to what his fictional Colonial Marines are facing against the Xenomorphs?
