-Chris has an embryonic Alien Queen growing inside her. She knows this day must end in her death, but is there a way her demise can save her friends?

-Angela leads a party trapped aboard a spacecraft controlled by one of the enigmatic, god-like Engineers. The ship is headed for Earth—for home—but arriving there may doom humanity.

I was just popping in to point out the one shot had a new title, Final Conflict.

The Alien Predator

I'm glad they changed the title, it makes more sense.

Ultramorph

Bleeding Cool has a short preview of the Prometheus one shot. Nothing too spoilery.

I'm liking this variant. Love a Predator with a sword.

Russ840

 Not sure I like the style of the variant but yeah, a Predator with his own sword is cool as f**k

happypred

They kept teasing a Pred with a sword in Life and Death




Guy didn't get much of a chance to wield it

HuDaFuK

The original Predator was supposed to have a sword too, but they dropped it.

Russ840

As in Jungle Hunter ?

I didn't know that

HuDaFuK

Yeah. It was designed to slip into his backpack, but they dropped it because the handle kept catching on his dreds when Kevin Peter Hall turned his head.

Omegamorph talked about it on his Monster Legacy blog, but I can't find the article off-hand.

Russ840

Cool. Is there any art or production pics you know of showing the look of the sword ?

HuDaFuK

Found a couple from Omega's blog (hope he doesn't mind me sharing them).



Nyarlathotep

I definitely think that they made the right decision in dropping it.
