Wow this sounds pretty awesome. I'm loving the cover picture too of the Predators bringing the Aliens into war on chains like the Spaniards and their "dogs of war". It's been a while since we've had a good AvP comic series.
I also really dig Warner's description of why the AvP universe has survived and prospered for so long:
To me, the Aliens represent the horrors of the natural world, and the Predators represent the horrors of which Mankind is capable, and those are interesting magnetic poles for any story, Warner said of the concept's lasting appeal. 'Aliens vs. Predator' on some level calls up the struggle of Mankind to tame the Wild, and the instinct of the Wild to stay wild. I think the themes and subtext become even stronger as the untamed world dwindles. And no matter how advanced we become, it seems that the natural world continues to fight back against us, to mock our arrogance, to strangle us with our own hubris.
I have always said that while many crossovers are a lot of fun: Marvel vs. Capcom, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, Freddy vs. Jason, King Kong vs. Godzilla, Frankenstein's Monster vs. Dracula, etc. only Aliens vs. Predator really makes sense to me concept wise. I love the whole "macho arrogance" side of the Predators in believing that they can successfully hunt these dangerous creatures. I really think Chris Warner explained the appeal of this crossover very well and very poetically above.
Now if only they could make an AvP movie worth watching...
