Finally read Hunters, it was decent. As always, I'll wait till the TPB hits.

Afghanistan is called the "Graveyard of Empires," but it may also soon be the graveyard of the Hunters when they go up against a Predator who has honed its skills fighting the jihadi and U.S. forces!

That piece he shared is apparently interior art! That looks like some damn good interior art.

Don't read this one then. Personally, I think Hunters acted as a nice pilot. Apes off OWLF and Stargazer quite well and I'm happy to see them take the concept further.

I love it...so I'll read it.

Nothing beats humans hunting and killing predators. This kind of out-of-the-box concept will revive the franchise and rake in the cash. Mark my words...

Sounded sarcastic.

Okay, so it isn't exactly reinventing the wheel, but Predator: Hunters II does exactly what it needs to.  If you enjoyed the first series you'll absolutely love this one, and it's a lot of fun to watch Warner, Padilla and Menon working cohesively together to provide another solid entry into Dark Horse's rich Predator history.

Rating: 4/5.

First review for #1 is in.

Just read it.

As with the first series, it doesn't break any new ground but like the first series, the character work is good.  I really enjoy these characters.  A couple of points here also have me interested.

Spoiler

there is a nice little reference to the original film which has me excited.

Who is the character that Soames sees and gets all cagey about. Dutch? Probably not.

The artwork is Kentucky and detailed.  The predator looks great (in his traditional/classic appearance here)

I would honestly be happy if this series was an ongoing. 

An all round solid Predator comic.

Just finished issue 1. Solid issue that has me thoroughly hooked!

I wonder if those randomers are Stargazer??

Spoiler

[Corporal Hicks]

I do. Seems like the right time to try to tie in.
