Treading a similar path to the
comic book adaptation of the original script of Alien, a new comic from Dark Horse presents
Predator: The Original Screenplay.
While I'm not 100 percent convinced that the Yautja (
or Predators) belong in the
Alien universe (
except in fan fiction, like the AvP movies), there may be something in this iteration of the story that could be lifted for use in a game.
Before there was Predator, there was Hunters.
Now, Dark Horse Comics and Twentieth Century Fox invite you to experience that story in Predator: The Original Screenplay.
Adapted from James E. Thomas and John C. Thomas’ 1984 screenplay Hunters, writer Jeremy Barlow (Alien vs. Predator: Thicker Than Blood, Star Wars: Empire), artist Patrick Blaine (Star Wars: Empire, Witchblade), and inker Andy Owens (Tomb Raider, Ghost) bring the original story to brutal life.
In Predator: The Original Screenplay, a team of military specialists are on a rescue mission in the jungles of Central America.
The details of the mission are classified, but the team soon uncovers a trail of lies and deceit.
Something is observing them — tracking their every move.
The hunt has begun!
A five-part mini-series, the first issue of
Predator: The Original Screenplay is due out on June 10 (
pandemic willing).
