Dark Horse To Reboot Comic Series

[RakaiThwei]

I'm just looking forward to the inevitable full-page hero shot of the battle-wounded Predator triumphantly de-spining an Engineer. 

Or... we could see a mutated Predator who was infected with the black liquid.

Can't wait either way.

Oh, I'm hoping for that, too. It would also be cool if we got an Engineer fighting in his chair suit for a bit, for Jockey aficionados.

Oh, I'm hoping for that, too.

We may end up getting that. Something tells we may end up getting that.

A Predator with blacked-over eyes, foaming at the mouth, and maybe even going full-on concept art Fifield would be spectacular.



Another plot device I hope gets explored is that of LV-223 as a Chernobyl-esque bio-hazard gone out of control. I like the idea that LV-223 was pretty well contained until the crew of the Prometheus showed up. Maybe there were even alarms they triggered that cause more Engineers to rush to the planet as this series goes on to try and out the spill back in its box.

Found this quote (Rakai's greatest fear) : "Predators are the Engineers' domestic pets like dogs."

Lololol

What's the quote from?

Prometheus Forum.

I googled the quote and found it as a comment on Prometheusforum.net from 2012. It's not from Dark Horse.

I've seen some members here question the integrity and possibly intelligence of the people on Prometheus Forum.

Speaking of things we hope we'll see in the new series, I would love if they rescue expedition in the Prometheus comic had a synthetic like David. It would be nice if he could read the Engineer hieroglyphs, and the human characters actually bother to ask him to translate some of them.  That would be a great way to answer some fan questions.

[The1PerfectOrganism]

Indeed but that particular member just feels like Predators don't belong thematically in the Alien universe.
If they have to exist it should be in a minimal status apparently.

[Ultramorph]

It's a big universe. They can establish the backstory to say that Predators and Engineers haven't had much contact.

[The1PerfectOrganism]

Thematically means to him that unless the Predator suddenly has some depth it will never fit.
I hear where he's coming from but I feel that if you twist the Predator's arm so to speak it could work.

Not integrity and intelligence so much as levels of ignorance.

And some integirty and intelligence too.
