Anyone who knows me, will tell you that I’m a huge movie fan. I can remember growing up, how I was an avid viewer of Entertainment Tonight back when John Tesh and Mary hart were still hosting. This was also a time when print was still somewhat successful, and there were more than enough magazines to keep readers entertained and informed with the latest news. One of those magazines was Premiere magazine, which was exclusively about movies.
I remember reading an article in Premiere about them making a sequel to Predator, this time with Danny Glover. I had my doubts then, but when they movie came out a year later, it blew me away. There have been some comparable sequels since; including the excellent Prey, but Predator 2 is masterpiece. In the debut issue of Predator, we get an story added to the canon, one which upends everything we know about these extraterrestrial mercenaries.
We are taken to a remote planet, where a group of humans are being hunted by a group of Predators, who are eviscerating them one after another. As they find cover in a nearby cave, they soon find out about each other, that they may have been under hyper-sleep, waiting to be used as prey and each come from different times and places throughout history. They eventually look for supplies including ammo, when they see a supply drop. By the issue’s end, they discover they are in a alien gaming preserve and are just a few of the many prey there for the Predators and a familiar menace shows up to save them.
Overall, Predator #1 is an action packed debut that will leave fans of the franchise reinvigorated. The story by Brisson is amazing. The art by the creative team is beautiful. Altogether, another excellent addition to ever expanding Predator canon.

Black Tape #2 (AWA Studios) – The first issue was interesting about a musician who died and the viper’s circling to take advantage of what’s been left by him.
Bloodline: Daughter of Blade #2 (Marvel) – The first issue was a lot of fun putting the spotlight on a relatively new character and taking a familiar dynamic and switching it up.
By Water: The Felix Manz Story (Plough Publishing) – The true story of the conflict between establishment reformer Ulrich Zwingli and his student Felix Manz.

The Gimmick #1 (AHOY Comics) – It’s superpowers meets wrestling in a very interesting debut that sets up an intriguing world and story.
