Diaz delivers some fantastic art in the issue. I love the look of this issue and the environments being created within it. The Predators are sufficiently menacing and I love the look of the different characters. Read Full Review

By pulling from every corner of the cinematic Predator offerings, this new series manages to create something that feels familiar and bold at the same time. Make no mistake, for fans of the 'Predator' series, this is a franchise-spanning crowd-pleaser. Read Full Review
The first issue of this series is pretty much what I'd expect out of a Marvel iteration of the property and has some of the same problems that the most recent Alien series did as well. It is, essentially a Marvel-ized version of Predator. And that's fine, as a property can be interpreted through multiple lenses. But it always comes back to the core problem in that the Predator property can't be explored and expanded upon what we know from the films. So it's always back to this same thing, a hunt of some kind, and no actual growth. It's good for the action and I like the minor twists that we get with it in terms of the cast, but it's already looking like we're going to again be treated to something familiar and fairly standard.

A derivative script is saved by some stellar artwork and a couple interesting ideas in Marvel's 2nd attempt at a series about the galaxies most terrifying big game hunters. Read Full Review
I've been really optimistic with Marvel's acquisition of the Aliens and Predator franchises. The publisher has unlimited resources to make these things grow legs and walk, but somehow they just can't make them move. Not in a really impactful way, anyway. The creative team could swap in almost any generic monster for the Yautja, and you'd hardly notice. Read Full Review
Well-portrayed artwork of violence cannot make up for a lack of much in the way of story for this introduction to a new miniseries. Read Full Review
promising
The new story arc starts very promisingly. If the previous one was a fairly simple, direct and understandable story, then THIS story takes the concept of "Predators" by Nimrod Antal and adds quite an interesting intrigue to it. At the same time, almost direct references to the 2010 film are played quite subtly with notes of nostalgia.
The issue is very well constructed from the point of view of narrative, it has a good pace (action and moments of exposure replace each other smoothly and consistently, which does not let you get bored or get lost in the narrative).
The action is just mom-mia... Great detail, adrenaline dynamics, and a very nice design of the space hunter literally make you drown in the visual of the comic.
The more
By no means is this a great book, but it plays its role well and it's fun.
So I like the idea of looking at the movie Predators in a little different vain. The Predator looked cool. Had some nice action. Though they were shooting a lot man these soldiers suck. Then blamo cool Predator gone in a most lame way just to continue a crappy characters story. Oh well ruined a decent book.
This was just a retelling of Predators and, aside from the specimens being collected from different time periods, didn’t really add anything for anyone who’s seen the movie. Hopefully the series can find a voice of its own as it continues
