There's nothing wrong with doing a little research... unless your research involves the deadliest organism on Earth.

Cover by Jim Rohn. Dark Horse Comics #14 premieres part one of "The Mark: Taking Back the Streets," a sharp-edged tale of a country torn by revolution. Lutzany's current leader, The Archon, leaves for the United States. But will he be able to return or will he become Lutzany's newest political exile? Also this month, in the final installment of "Predator: Bad Blood," the Predator decides it's time to really go to town... with a vengeance. Although laboratories are supposed to be safe, clean, and efficient, when tempers flare, accidents can happen. In part 2 of "The Thing from Another World: Questionable Research," when accidents happen, THINGS get very much out of control. FC. Cover price $2.50.

Cover by John Higgins. "The Mark: What Goes Around" concludes in this issue of Dark Horse Comics when the Archon, Lutzany's despotic leader, finds himself in America at a time when his country is ripped apart by revolution and riot. But the Archon has his own plan and no revolution in the world can stop it now. Gerald Coile was a smuggler of Alien products -- Royal Jelly, Xeno-Zip, and... other "things." It was a lucrative occupation, but without retirement benefits, so he arranged his own retirement benefits via the Drug Enforcement Agency. In part 1 of "Aliens: Cargo," he discovers that such a plan definitely has a down side. Also, in part 3 of "The Thing from Another World: Questionable Research," the scientific team aboard the Donachek discovers that their research really can get the best of them. What can you do when your experiment has its own hidden and horrifying agenda? FC. Cover price $2.50.

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.
