Could Korean Sc-Fi Space Sweepers Fit In The Alien 'Verse?

Set in the year 2092 and follows the crew of a space junk collector ship called The Victory. When they discover a humanoid robot named Dorothy that's known to be a weapon of mass destruction, they get involved in a risky business deal.
2092 was the year Ellen Ripley was born and a year before the Prometheus disaster, so Space Sweepers - based on this trailer alone - could fit in your Alien 'verse headcanon.

Guess we'll see when the Korean sci-fi drops on Netflix on February 5.

In Comics, No One Can Hear You Squee

Main cover by Inhyuk Lee

The first, new, Alien comic from Marvel - new custodians of the franchise's comic book universe - arrives on shelves in March.
Gabriel Cruz gave his life to Weyland-Yutani - in the case of an alien attack he barely survived, almost literally!
Recently retired, Cruz is trying to patch things up with his abandoned son with the help of his friend, a Bishop-model android, but his re-entry into civilian life is not going smoothly... and his encounters with the deadly Xenomorph are far from over.
Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Salvador Larroca team up to tell an all-new tale of the titan of horror and science fiction that has scared audiences for decades.
No one is safe. No one is innocent. And no one can hear you scream.
Issue one is scheduled to dock on March 24.
