Predator: Marvel releasing omnibus of early Predator comics from Dark Horse

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Earlier this year, it was confirmed that Marvel will be taking over the publication of comic books inspired by PREDATOR and ALIEN, since the former home of those properties – 20th Century Fox – has merged with Marvel's parent company, Disney. When PREDATOR and ALIEN were at Fox, their comics were published by Dark Horse Comics. Now Marvel has made the very cool announcement that they'll be re-publishing Dark Horse's early PREDATOR comics in PREDATOR: THE ORIGINAL YEARS OMNIBUS VOL. 1.

Nowhere is safe when the remorseless alien killers stalk the concrete jungle of New York City, leave a trail of death across the American Southwest and ignite the Cold War by landing in Siberia! Find out if the Predators came to Earth during Vietnam or World War I and see the hunters make a new enemy in Dutch’s brother, Detective John Schaefer. Read on as an Arizona prison becomes a slaughterhouse and witness a Predator vs. psychotic Predator showdown in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey! Finally, take a trip to 1950s Hollywood, where only a child with special glasses can see the monster in the midst of Tinseltown! It’s total carnage, Predator-style!
