CAPTIVE
The aliens known as Predators are the deadliest hunters in the universe. They possess advanced technology such as nuclear warheads, infinitely sharp cutting weapons, and personal cloaking devices. What’s more, they seem to live to kill. They are far more advanced than we, but utterly uncivilized.

This combination made them an irresistible subject for study. So when Tyler Stern of Stern Industries managed to get hold of a captured Predator, he built a specially constructed biodome to mimic its native environment. Then, he periodically fed it prey and watched it—all from the safety of his computer screen in the command center.

But something is wrong. The prisoner, who should be utterly unable to escape, is taking his confinement too casually. Then, there are the atmospheric leakages that indicate that someone—or something—has gotten out…


STRANGE ROUX
It all took place back in 1931. There in Bayou Lafource, Louisiana, it was killing time. An alien hunter was stalking the bayou, preying on the local wildlife. In this case, that meant muskrats…and men.

With little clue as to what was in store for them, three of the locals decided to find out what sort of animal had been raiding their traps. Some thought it might be an alligator, but one of the men was sure it was the fabled Gollywomp—a voodoo creature who was part man and part frog. No matter what it was, these three sons of the South had no doubt that they could handle it.

If only they knew that they faced a Predator, more of them might have lived to tell about it…

HARD TO FIND COLLECTORS ITEM FOR FANS OF ALIENS AND BATMAN.

There are all kinds of killers. Some, like Gotham City’s Leo Brodin and Alex Yeager, are the “hands-off” type, mob bosses who order others to do their dirty work. Others, like the thugs they hire, have no such qualms and blindly follow their violent orders. Batman is used to dealing with all of these, but now he’ s up against something new: a killer of astonishing strength and savagery who hunts humans for the sheer joy of the blood sport.

Gotham’s mob rivalries had been intensifying for some time, with Brodin and Yeager eager to divide the town between them. But now this new player—a Predator from another world—has begun hunting Gotham’s power players. How can even Batman hope to stop a killer who is stronger than any man, kills using alien technology, and who can not even be seen with the naked eye?

Born and bred as a “trophy wife” for a rich businessman, Caryn Delacroix is almost genetically incapable of being unhappy. Now Caryn is not just unhappy, she is terrified. She dreams each night of a strange creature who stalks her through the floating airship which has been her home. Cornered at last, she wakes up screaming.

In the wake of Aliens: Earth War, Montcalm Delacroix took to living in his floating city in the sky. That way he felt he would at last be safe from the terrors of the Earth. But all too soon his sanctuary is invaded—not from below, but by a Predator from the stars. Now his—and Caryn’s— worst fears are becoming reality.

The tag team-sounding title of this series doesn’t do justice to the gripping, well-developed story within. Written by Chris Claremont of X-Men fame, Aliens: The Deadliest of the Species is a first–rate thriller.

Dark Horse returns readers to the world of Ryushi, site of 1990’s epic Aliens Vs. Predator saga. In this new series, soldiers answer a distress call from the last remaining inhabitant of Ryushi and make their way toward the planet. Although they are unaware of the events that transpired there before, they are cautious nonetheless since they suspect Aliens are involved.

When they land on the planet’s surface, however, they are ill-prepared for what they find. Not only are Aliens lying in wait for them, but Ryushi is also the unwilling home to the alien hunters known as Predators. The Predators’ ship had crashed upon the planet earlier, and ever since they had been fighting a deadly duel against the Aliens who had overrun the planet. Naturally, the soldiers discover the true nature of the situation they have walked into only when they are squarely trapped between these two warring races.

Aliens and Predators make planet Ryushi their preferred hunting grounds.
