I come bearing news of literature and one of them is a massive shock to me. Announced sometime in 2004, Civilized Beasts look to finally be making it’s way into the stores. It recently received an updated cover and Dark Horse has just released a preview!

20080320 Civilized Beasts in South China Sea

As well as that the profile page for Predator – South Sea China, formerly The Island, has been released. You’ll find a synopsis on there. It’s due out in August while Civilized Beasts is penciled for next month. For more information on South Sea China check out our forum. Thanks to nchurch81 for the news.

that be a python they live in south china burma and so on. Anacondas are from south america and are good swimmers so you'd think that it was a anaconda on the cover but this novel takes place in south china

Erm... thats a Python not an Anaconda... An Anaconda would crush a Predator like a block of chalk.

Very cool. Sorry I have not posted here in ages now! I just wanted to say I made a fan site, it's not mainly a fan site for AVP stuff, but it's still very cool. I made a review on AVP-R there too, in the movie reviews section. Go see! Please sign my guest book there too! The site is my home page. You should be able to get there by clicking my name. Thanks! Also I almost got a comic volume like that only it was an Aliens one.

I'm asking the same question everyone else is. Why cant these cover arts stay away from AVP armor?

Yea I dont have a prob with the AVP armor. Im cool with any pred wear from the films as long as a Pred is wearing it. This looks to be a fun novel, and the pic is just awesome beyond words. I cant wait.

Yeah I've also wondered why covers now have AvP armour because its just silly and out of place unlike the sleek stylish armour of Predator.

I dont like the idea that the team of AVP: Thrill of the Hunt will be making this new graphic novel. If you read there previous work it isnt that good.

Not that interested in the novels, but the cover art is really nice. Clearly photoshopped, but it's nice either way.
