HUNT. KILL. REPEAT. In the near future, a young girl sees her family slaughtered by the deadliest and most feared hunter in the universe: a PREDATOR. Years later, though her ship is barely holding together and food is running short, Theta won't stop stalking the spaceways until the Yautja monster who killed her family is dead...or she is. Ed Brisson (IRON FIST, GHOST RIDER) and Kev Walker (DR. STRANGE, DOCTOR APHRA) forge a violent, heartbreaking and unforgettable new chapter in the PREDATOR saga not to be missed!
Rated T+
This minor niggle aside, the final page delivers a moment of air-punching fan service joy, and offers up some genuinely thrilling possibilities for the remainder of this series. Brisson's Theta is already firmly entrenched in the upper echelon of Predator protagonists, and this new series looks poised to give her the send-off she truly deserves. Highly recommended.

If you like hard sci-fi, you'll probably like Predator: The Last Hunt. There are interesting ideas at work here as Theta continues her quest to kill every last Predator, and she anchors the story with a character you can root for. Read Full Review
And while Predator: The Last Hunt #1 is mostly table-setting, this could be a blast. Read Full Review
Plot
This comic takes place in the year 2066 almost five years after the events of the previous Predator arc, where THETA and PAOLO continue their galactic hunt for any other Yautja or Predator, but without having achieved any.
Apparently the Yautja know that they are being pursued and now they have changed their hunting strategy and are always one step ahead, leaving messages for Theta and Paolo in the form of decapitated beings and employees.
But they finally get a tracking device for these beings and arrive at the planet where they keep all those beings they want to hunt for practice in ecstasy capsules. This is a significant development because Theta could get the Predators' planet for the first time, whose lo more
The art is fine, but the dialogue and exposition are immersion-breakingly lazy. I thought that maybe the recap box at the beginning of the issue was done that way on purpose, but then the whole issue is that way and all we get is setup; nothing happens. The story is serviceable but the execution is noticeably unspectacular. I hope it picks up; the previous arc wasn't amazing, but I enjoyed it.
I liked the drawing and dialogues between the characters, but unfortunately, without even seeing the cover of the second issue, I already knew what their meeting with a new stranger would turn out to be and which way the plot would go.
Bit of a shame as this has huge potential for an ongoing series but falls flat on its face as an Issue 1. Nice script with okay dialogue that really could have scored really high with a killer last page. The art is Marvel all over just now. The real issue with this kind of art is it really can't build tension and that again is a real shame as the lead character is awesome and with moody dark art and tighter dialogue this would be great.
