Following all The Predator trailer excitement yesterday, Dark Horse Comics have now announced (via Comic Book Resources) a brand new Predator comic series! Dark Horse’s next venture into the Predator universe is a continuation of last year’s Predator: Hunters (which we rather enjoyed!) and is currently titled Predator: Hunters 2.
“Since the beginning of time, Predators have come to Earth from their home among the stars to stalk and kill the strongest of humans for sport. But now the tables have turned, and a group of human hunters has set their sights on the Predators. But they soon find out they are competing with a mysterious government agency that is after the same prey. The hunt is on, and only the strongest and smartest will survive!”
Chris Warner, veteran Alien and Predator comic artist and writer who also wrote the first Predator: Hunters series, is returning to the scripting duties for Predator: Hunters 2. The last series’ artist, Francisco Ruiz Velasco, is not returning for Predator: Hunters 2. Agustin Padilla will instead be tasked with illustrating the new series.
Currently there is no exact release date but according to the announcement Predator: Hunters 2 is expected to debut in August 2018. Thanks to Ultramorph for the news!

From the islands of the South Pacific to the mountains of Afghanistan, the Hunters go wherever the Predators appear—even if it’s in a war zone and into conflict with a mysterious government group hunting the same prey!
Despite the casualties suffered during their first mission, the Predator Hunters are on the prowl again!
• New Predator movie coming soon!
Wicked Cover....not something I'd want to tangle with.
This should be cool, has anyone seen the artists work before?
Has that been confirmed anywhere? Didn't see Stradley comment on it.
Awesome news, though! Thanks for sharing! Really dug Hunters and one of the things I said about the last series was that it felt like a pilot episode so happy to see them continue with the story!
Colour me excited.
