Written by John Arcudi. Art by Javier Saltares and Andrew Elder. Cover by Raymond Swanland. Where there is armed conflict, there is money to be made. And in the midst of a third-world civil war, the military contractors of Graham Directive Security have sold their skills to shield their corporate clients from the sectarian violence tearing a country apart. But the GDS guns-for-hire soon discover that they are in the midst of not one, but two civil wars, one of extraterrestrial origin. And while the brutality and ruthlessness of mankind is well documented, it is nothing compared to the heartless savagery exhibited by the star-spawned Predators, especially when warring clans of the alien terrors are each sworn to wipe the other from existence. The hunt is on as Predator returns to comics with a vengeance in a lethal new series written by John Arcudi (Aliens, B.P.R.D.) and illustrated by Javier Saltares (Ghost Rider). Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the first Dark Horse Predator series. 40 pages, full color. Cover price $3.50.

Written by John Arcudi. Art by Javier Saltares. Covers by Wes Dzioba and Raymond Swanland. While the guns-for-hire of Graham Directive Security knew they were entering a third-world war zone when they signed on, they never bargained for stumbling into the middle of an interplanetary blood feud. After barely surviving a brutal firefight with a squad of Predator soldiers, Thorpe and Briggs hightail it to the GDS compound only to find their base under siege by the offworld marauders. Thorpe and his crew haven't got a prayer of survival-that is, they wouldn't if they didn't have the most unlikely ally in the universe. Blood is in the air as Predator returns to comics with extreme prejudice in a deadly new series written by John Arcudi (Aliens, B.P.R.D.) and illustrated by Javier Saltares (Ghost Rider). Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the first Dark Horse Predator series. 40 page, full color. Cover price $3.50.

Written by John Arcudi. Art by Javier Saltares. Covers by Wes Dzioba and Raymond Swanland. Think that a third-world civil war is messy? How about an off-world civil war? Caught in the middle of a blood feud between rival Predator clans in an east African war zone, private military contractor Thorpe barely makes it back to base with his hide intact after a pitched firefight with a squad of extraterrestrial marauders. But clean sheets and hot chow will provide cold comfort once the alien killers and their lethal technology track Thorpe down, and he has precious little time to marshal the Graham Directive Security crew for a desperate defense. They might have had a chance had they not lost their most potent ally, a lone rival Predator warrior, but now Thorpe and the GDS soldiers are out of options and out of time as they prepare to make their stand-their last stand. Don't miss the explosive conclusion to the all-new Predator series. And be on the watch for a special preview of the new Aliens vs. Predator series, launching in January! Cover price $3.50.
