We have just uploaded the 56th episode of the Alien vs. Predator Galaxy Podcast (right-click and save as to download)! The latest episode of our podcast sees RidgeTop and myself chat to Bryan Thomas Schmidt, the editor of the upcoming anthology Predator: If It Bleeds.

We talk about If It Bleeds, Bryan’s love for Predator 2, crossovers, what reboots mean to fans and the studios, canon, his and Holly Roberd’s short story starring Mike Harrigan and Garber, the usual detour to something Star Trek related and plenty more! Bryan also reveals that Titan is published a novelization of The Predator!

When Bryan refers to Nancy Collin’s comic, he is talking about Predator: Hell Come a Walkin’. Predator: If It Bleeds is due for release on the 17th of October and is available to pre-order on Amazon (UK/US). Be sure to head on over to the reviews section and check out my thoughts on the upcoming anthology!

Can't wait to listen to this. Unfortunately if it bleeds hasn't been released in the states yet! Does this contain spoilers?

No spoilers.  It's safe to listen to.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I found Bughunt middling but If It Bleeds just kept going from strength to strength for me. Really enjoyed it.

Bryan was really fun to chat to! I'm glad he took the time to join us for a nerd session.  :)

I think I have to agree with 426buddy on this one, excellent job boys! I love how Bryan Thomas Schmidt is such an enthusiastic predator fan. "If it bleeds" sounds like it's going to be a killer read!

Thanks. I am a cool guy...   words no one in high school ever said about me LOL. And I hope you all enjoy. I made this book for us.

Well Mr. Bryan Thomas Schmidt let me welcome you to the coolest fandom around(said no one ever probably.)Thank you again for your contribution to everything predator! By the way, do you have a favorite scene in P2? I would have to say either the meatlocker scene or the ship scene when the clan arrives! Great stuff!

I love the scene where they fight on the building and the Predator crashes into the apartment and the old lady comes with the broom...hilarious.  One of many.

Terrific Podcast! Such chemistry between all of the personalities involved makes for an entertaining listen.

Pre-ordered this book, but the wait is proving difficult. Will read though Turnabout again as seems relevant! 
Drug War also sounds really great.

"I don't think he gives a shit..."

For me, it was always that scene when Harrigan steps into that spaceship. When I saw it as a kid I was fascinated by all the design choices and those skulls.

Thanks, Tony! Glad you enjoyed it! Bryan was so much fun to have on.

lol, finally listened today. I was laughing at work when I heard the hot tub and your mother remark.

I think I will enjoy reading an anthology of short stories rather than a full novel.

Are you planning on picking this one up? Didn't think you were into the books? Good choice, though!

I do read books and comics on my tablet actually. I have read mystery and Witcher novels but nothing from the franchise. It's really hard to just sit and read quietly.

When I'm at home I have to have everything turned off but when I'm out and about I find I'm able to turn everything else out. I'll generally always have a book on me when I'm travelling and I'm not driving.

The book is officially out today, folk! Go pick it up!

Excellent podcast! Great info and very entertaining. Glad I found this site. Ordered the book today.

I thought Drug War was great - it was awesome to see Harrigan back in action - brought back a lot of memories from Predator 2 so had to go watch it again! There are so many great stories in If It Bleeds that i really hope that they get to do another anthology and yeah - it would be awesome to see an AVP anthology - i am so needing to find out what happened to Alexa following her encounter with the aliens and the queen. It would be great to see a continuation of her story, she was one of the key highlights of AVP.
