Cover by Bill Hughes. To his tribe, Suom isn't yet a man. But he has seen the Night Reaper, whose hideous reign of fear and death strikes at night and steals away by morning. Only Suom has seen the face of the Reaper and survived, and only he can conquer this beast in part one of "Alien," featuring beautiful art by Paul Mendoza and the story of a horrifying coming of age by John Arcudi. It was a time before the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Empire. Dark Horse Comics is proud to debut "Droids," its latest Star Wars tale, featuring C-3PO and R2-D2, caught in the crossfire between Olag, a ruthless trader, and a deadly battle droid. Part 2 of "Predator: The Hunted City" continues as Max is pursued by warring families, each intent on discovering who or... what... has been killing them off. The only thing they know for sure is that Max knows more than he's telling -- and they'll beat it out of him if they have to. FC. Cover price $2.50.
