Cover by George Pratt. Tony Vincenzo is what you might call "a family man." So is Bernie Jinks. Up until now, they had their own little disputes in the heart of Manhattan. But this time around someone's knocking off both Vincenzo's and Jinks' boys. Vincenzo's in the slammer, but he isn't telling everything. The truth is too unbelievable. But he has a plan. Don't miss this issue's premiere of "Predator: The Hunted City." Also, "Aliens: Cargo" concludes in this issue with part 2 as Coile realizes being trapped with an Alien isn't as bad as he thought -- after all, he has his wits and a five-minute head start. What more do you need when you're faced with the universe's most voracious and hungry xenomorph? In the pyrokinetic conclusion to "The Thing from Another World: Questionable Research," Douglas finally realizes what he has unleashed, and it's up to him to stop The Thing in its tracks -- even if it means sacrificing himself in the process! FC. Cover price $2.50.
