I wonder if an entire anthology of AVPs might not get a bit samey... I think I'd personally prefer to see the odd crossover thrown into future Predator/Alien anthologies (assuming there are some).
What I was thinking is that they could do an anthology where they pit Aliens and Predators not only against each other in various environments, but also against other things.
There could be an entire short story on just the Predator hunting some random thing and it's done in his point of view. We got a cool glimpse of this in Indigenous Species but from a human point of view as they watch Predators hunt Gruzzlies. An AvP anthology could explore more prey.
Same with Aliens, it can pit them against other types of creatures, not just humans and Predators.
So in a way, it's still "Aliens vs Predator" technically as Predators are still hunting various "aliens" and Aliens are still fighting various "predators."
Also why not throw in Engineers if possible? Have a Predator encounter one of them. Or even the Drukathi from Tim Lebbon's Alien and AvP novels.
Just some ideas I thought up. How cool would it be to have Predators hunt Aliens in Engineer and Drukathi ruins? With the narration of the novel explaining Yautja history with these other civilisations. I loved Kalakta's descriptions of the Drukathi and how immensely advanced those aliens were/are to the point that even the Yautja were wary of them.
And if we throw in Engineers. Why not have short stories of Predators hunting other Engineer creations like Ahab did in the Fire and Stone comics?
These panels alone could be an amazing short story for an AvP anthology.
