In the slew of AvP3, Predators and prequel news I opted to let the comic news fall by the wayside until it calmed down. So onto the news:

That elder predator would smash that alien royal guard or not. Ive never seen predator armor like that b4. Differ tribes have different armor and weapons depending on the class..The pred takes the whole fuc*in bakery..

Yeah, it's probably one of those crappy praetorian things in 'Earth War' They didn't actually do much an ordinary Alien couldn't, it's just that they had huge tusks and, I think, they could force open an APC, but that was it. They were anti-climactic, really!

I think the xeno is the version of an Alien in Dark Horse's Alien: Earth War. This breed was a guard for what is basically a mega-queen alien, the mother of all mothers. Portrayed on this cover by John Bolton: http://www.atomicavenue.com/atomic/IssueDetail.aspx?ID=227543 This was published before Alien3, so there are continuity errors.

I looked at a copy of the new Alien series first issue and well I wont be buying it, and I certainly wasn't too keen on the aliens' mandibles either.
