Well... What's the alternative with PREDATOR?
Because I don't see one, I think taking it seriously is evidently a bit of a one trick pony. Maybe I'm wrong and we'll get a good, serious Predator film or game in the future though.

Taking it seriously and a film production bringing their A game. We've had the combination all of once.

I'm not sure what you're trying to ad to the discussion with that ??? Are you agreeing? Disagreeing?

I'm saying it happened once, but everything else since that's been successful to some degree, at least to keep the brand afloat were varying degrees of not-so-serious. And I'm not advocating for slapstick comedy, but just a colourful, dark, twisted Predator mythos that- like themselves (running around in fishnets and loincloths hunting men in a jungle) may seem ludicrous at first glance, and to a degree it is but- is taken seriously in the context of it's own narrative.

Thanks. Not sure how I was supposed to get all that from "Once."

In what context are you using "seriously" here? Because if you mean tone, I'd say at least twice ('Predator' and 'Predators').

Predators fell short of the second half of the combination.

Just read issue one. It was ok. Much better than the second half of Defiance just on the basis that it was competently written.

Not super excited about the prospect of continuing Amanda's story like this, and the portrayal of WY is pretty cartoon villain-esque, but I have a soft spot for Zula and Davis.

Issue 2 felt quite average, meh, whole story feels unnecessary. But I wouldn't mind seeing those combat synths on other stuff.

Solid issue! Already impatiently waiting for issue 3 though with that cliffhanger! My only critique is the dialogue boxes on certain panels make it difficult to figure out which character is doing the talking. I know some comics give different shades to the dialogue boxes to help differentiate but it's usually done with superheroes who always wear the same color making it easier to color coordinate with.

I really like that synthetics run this black site. It makes sense as they wouldn't have to worry about pesky human ethics haha

Agreed...  Honestly, I think I had a bigger problem with it than you did.  I kind of struggled to understand what was going on for a lot of this issue.

If the majority of the dirty work is being done by androids under the cabal's direction, I think my concerns over the pretext have been assuaged.
