Just announce at ECC, we have Predator vs Judge Dredd vs Aliens, from writer John Layman and artist Christopher Mooneyham! Looks like this was the big crossover that Randy Stradley hinted at a few months ago.
http://io9.gizmodo.com/judge-dredd-will-fight-aliens-and-predators-in-a-crazy-1769899641 (http://io9.gizmodo.com/judge-dredd-will-fight-aliens-and-predators-in-a-crazy-1769899641)
It goes on sale in July.
This could be something I might be able to look forward to. I sincerely mean that.. And John Layman loves the AVP films? Oh! A man after my own heart!
Hopefully, this comic won't be counting PREDATORS and Prometheus either! I would love a canonical continuation in the Dredd universe for Alien and Predator! Please, please, please be good!
This... made a smile on my face!
Edit: I just noticed that IDW (my current favorite publisher) is part of this collaboration... I know that IDW is currently doing Dredd but... I thought that the IDW Dredd was it's own separate universe from the main Dredd. Reading this on Wiki... the IDW Dredd is not part of the main Dredd continuity.
So is this... IDW Dredd or Main Dredd for this crossover? Hopefully Layman answers my questions to him on Twitter.
Ohhhhhhhhh shit ... Mooneyham? Yeahhhhhhhhh
My only question is... is this a direct continuation after the previous two AVP crossovers with Dredd, which are part of Dredd canon, or... is this an entirely separate universe from the AD 2000 Dredd Universe, and set in the IDW Dredd universe-- and is it part of that continuity?
See, reason I'm asking is because IDW has licensed franchise titles... and they're implied to be sharing the same universe. X-Files, TMNT, Transformers, the Crow-- yeah... according to IDW's X-Files Confidential run-- these titles all set in the same universe. And also IDW treats some of their intercompany crossovers as canon such as Transformers/New Avengers-- that's canon in Transformers. TMNT/Ghostbusters, is actually canon in both TMNT and Ghostbusters as well.
IDW has a really... interesting way of treating their crossovers. It wouldn't surprise me if this is somehow canon in IDW Dredd continuity but it wouldn't surprise me if it isn't canon either.
Point is.. I'm wondering if it's a continuation of the first two crossovers, or.. it's an entirely separate thing since IDW is part of this collaboration?
This has quite an intriguing story. Looks like its going to be nuts and i love that artwork
This is a really cool idea:
QuoteWe open the book with a crashlanded predator, and instead of being the hunter, as usual, the predator is the prey. He's crashlanded in a jungle overgrowth in the middle of the Cursed Earth, where he is pursued by an Island of Dr. Moreau group of man-animal hybrids, creations of a crazed genetic engineer. And this crazed scientist recovers not just the predator, but some of the predator's hunting trophies—including a Xenomorph skull, and the Xenomorph's DNA contained therein. You can probably see where this is headed, but add to it Dredd chasing the robot leader of an apocalypse death cult, and everybody on a collision course. Then shit gets nuts!
I only read one issue of JD vs Predator. It was decent. I have the full JD/Aliens mini-series, and it was one of the better crossovers, as the Aliens weren't predictably cannon fodder.
Nonetheless, I never trust Dark Horse to do either creatures justice, particularly the Alien. And I would have preferred something fresher pitting either or both creatures against one or many characters/monsters we haven't seen them fight before. How in the hell is it that we still haven't seen either creatures take on the Thing, or crossed over with the Resident Evil series? Or Jurassic Park?
They should stay clear of Alien and/or Predator vs Jason Voorhees and/or Leatherface, though. MKX's done just fine with these four. The Alien blood's lack of acidic properties wasn't badly crippling. I can only shudder imagining DH handling Alien vs Leatherface.
The Thing vs Xenomorphs would be interesting. Has the Thing being involved in any crossover comics for anything?
I'm looking forward to this one. I like Judge Dredd and the whole story there. Still haven't gotten around to reading the Judge Dredd crossovers.
So far Layman hasn't answered my questions over on Twitter.
Whether or not this connects to the previous two crossovers since IDW is now involved and has their own Dredd continuity, is entirely up in the air.
All in all, I'm looking forward to seeing this one... provided certain expectations of mine are met!
Pass :P

I have the opposite opinion
JD vs. Aliens was OK
I thought JD vs. Predator was really good, especially for a cross over
The action was good, the link to Dutch was a bit coincidental but rather clever, and the pacing was good as well. Very solid comic in my opinion...grabbed me more than JD vs. Aliens.
I finished both series...so not just basing my opinion on a partial reading.
AvJDvP looks like it'll be really interesting
The last issue of Judge Dredd vs Alien was the first Aliens comic I ever read. I found it at a news agent at a local indoor market. I think I actually got it the same day I got the Aliens Earth Hive/Nightmare Asylum omnibus from a stall at the same indoor market.
That said, I'll pass on this one. I'm not a massive fan of the multi-license properties - aside from AvP, of course. That just works for me.
I'll probably pass as well, i have quite a few crossovers and I'm just always been more interested in the alien and predator focused stories. Except batman vs predator, that series is classic.
I like some cross overs ... and I don't like others
Archie vs. Predator? Pass
Vampirella vs. Aliens? No thanks(but better than Archie)
Aliens vs. Judge Dredd vs. Predator...art by Chris Mooneyham? Count me in
I think this is definitely worth a look
Rather confusingly named to be almost identical to the Predator vs. Judge Dredd vs. Aliens trade paperback collection from a couple of years ago.
Sounds like the Predator is captured quite early (like Captive or Thrill of the Hunt)...surely not killed?
What the hell is it with these boring arse crossovers, we'd rather see another ongoing Aliens or Alien series, I know there's defiance, but we can use more. Enough of these micky dicky mouse crossovers please. Enough of ALiens vs Preds, enough of Aliens vs anything, just Aliens vs Humans.
And the stories have to be great too, the last Aliens series have been total flops, but I still buy them.
I will buy this one too, but will wait for a trade paperback edition. And no hardcovers please, I dont even bother buying hardcovers, soft, please.
...vs. Superman vs. Terminator vs. Batman vs. Robocop... *facepalm*
I'll pick this up, but I was hoping that the "big crossover" would be something in-continuity and to do with Life and Death, Fire and Stone, and Defiance. This should be fun, though. I liked the previous Dredd crossovers.

The Dredd crossovers are fun but I'm just wondering will this one connect to them or... will this one be a separate but canonical universe from the previous two crossovers since those were directly handled with 2000 AD? I mean since IDW is involved with this one... It maybe in the IDW Dredd continuity, which is separate from the main 2000 AD one.
Gah! I'm too excited but at the same time a little scared about this one! The last crossover (Vampirella/Aliens) wasn't very good.

Would you you prefer the upcoming crossover to be in the main 2000AD continuity or the IDW continuity or its own "pocket universe"?

Want to make apocalypse stew? Throw in four Judges, one insane genetic scientist, a smattering of emoji-based cultists, a dash of Predator, and a pinch of essence of Xenomorph, mix, and retreat to the nearest bunker. In this issue, Dredd follows a criminal cult leader into the Alabama Morass. A crew of Predators arrives on Earth to rescue a kidnapped comrade. And they both unwittingly wander into the territory of a revenge-obsessed, gene-splicing scientist who's just gotten his hands on a Xenomorph skull – and the universe's deadliest DNA!

The Judge Dredd franchise more or less deals with the concept of a multiverse, and the crossovers with Batman, Alien and Predator are considered canon in the overall Dredd franchises. However, the Dredd character has come across an alternate version of himself more than once I believe. He even killed his Sylvester Stallone counterpart in one comic.
When IDW obtained the licensing rights to the Dredd franchise, it was a whole new take on the Dredd storyline.

Norm Keillor tends to... take a lot of the material verbatim from other AVP Encyclopedic resources. I haven't talked to him about that but I should. Really, it's just his site, he maintains it but I just contribute information to him whenever I find it to be worth of interest.
We do have a page dedicated to Alternate Canon where the Alien and Predator characters are canonically featured in external franchises. Mostly that was my research which I contributed to him.
Well the original Yautja Encyclopedia website copied my stuff wholesale back then too, so at least the tradition is being continued.

Would you like to reach Mr. Keillor?
Not especially.

Oh I didn't realize this was an entirely different site.
Either way I'm not surprised.
My concern is that...
1. The predator is captured
2. The xenomorphs aren't really xenomorphs
...sounds like it might be similar to AvP F&S (i.e. Sebela's steaming pile)
Yeah, I'm worried about the hybrids, too. Hopefully we get some "true" xenomorphs, as well. At least Mooneyham is doing the art, so it'll look nice either way.
This is out in July?

Can we be sure IDW Dredd is a different universe to 2000 AD Dredd? I know the year One series was intended to be the original continuity.
Quote from: EJA on Jun 29, 2016, 05:56:42 PM
Can we be sure IDW Dredd is a different universe to 2000 AD Dredd?
According to Wikipedia, the IDW Dredd is an alternative version of the 2000 AD Dredd. It is listed as an alternative version.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judge_Dredd#Alternative_versions
Also there is this tidbit:
QuoteJudge Dredd is a comic book series by IDW Publishing, based on the character of Judge Dredd from the British comic magazines 2000 AD and Judge Dredd Megazine. The series is made up of an ongoing series, Judge Dredd, and occasionally a miniseries. There is also a third series, titled Judge Dredd - Classics, which is a republishing, in color, of the original British stories and is not part of the IDW continuity.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judge_Dredd_(IDW_Publishing)
So there you have it.. IDW Dredd is a whole other universe.
Predator vs Judge Dredd and Aliens vs Judge Dredd: Incubus all took place in the 2000 AD Dredd Universe, along side with the Batman/Dredd crossovers and are considered canon in the Dredd franchise. But where this new comic takes place, either in 2000 AD or IDW universes, is relatively unknown right now at this point.
Personally... I'd prefer it in the IDW universe in case they do wanna throw in that PREDATORS/Prometheus schlock.
This type of art is right up my alley

I'll be sure to get this on Friday when I go to my new comic book store..
Hopefully, it'll be good and hopefully it won't have any Prometheus or PREDATORS references.. and if it does.. hopefully it will be set in the IDW Dredd universe, and not the 2000 AD Dredd universe where the previous two crossovers happened.

The art is fantastic...really suits my taste.
Looks like there will be mutiple judges, predators, aliens, and animal-men duking it out in a jungle/swamp.

Apparently, the Predators in this crossover can be either Yautja or Hish'qu-Ten... :-\
Literally it's in the character introduction.
Almost walked right by this comic in a comic shop. The cover blended in with other comics for me, didn't really stand out (issue # 1). Picked up issue one and the sketch variant. I never really liked the sketch variant covers for comics, seems like everyone is doing it now. Either way, should be a fun read!

Apparently, the Predators in this crossover can be either Yautja or Hish'qu-Ten... :-\
Literally it's in the character introduction.
I'd like to know a bit more about this, could you expand on it please? Is it the way they behave? Or is there a written description of them that gives this vibe?
Both are written as the names of the species.
Literally, this is how it goes:
They are Yautja. They are Hish'qu-Ten. Who cares what they're called. They're Predators.
Even the narrator boxes do this.
EDIT: Here's a link to the fight card... and some page scans. Put under spoilers for anyone who doesn't want anything spoiled.

Really enjoyed issue #1. I think this story is already more exciting than the Life and Death series so far. Seems likely we'll see a predalien in this series also, which would be really rad
Nomenclature aside, the portrayal of the species is clearly more Yautja-esque than Hish-like. They're trophy hunters and the ship looks straight outta P2

I just felt like that the inclusion of both names really wasn't needed. Never was needed in the comics before, so.. it just feels... off to see it in the comic. But they do seem to be more Yautja... let's hope they're referred to that more than Hish.
Also... the name for the Predator homeworld. Yautja Prime... Where did THAT come from? Before someone points the finger at NECA, I do recall it coming from Xenopedia before NECA did the figures which had the backstories which included that name...

I thought they got that from Xenopedia as I saw an article on Yautja Prime on there. I don't remember NECA mentioning it though.
Thanks for those scans, Rakai. This comic looks interesting.

I remember seeing Yautja Prime on Xenopedia sometime around 2009 to 2010.. though it was known as the Predator Homeworld prior to 2009. So I always thought that someone on that site pretty much gave it a (terrible sounding) fanon name, and it went uncontested and unchanged on that site for years. So in my opinion, seeing the name in officially licensed works is... cringe inducing. I don't like it.
Also NECA mentioned Yautja Prime in their backstories for Berserker, Nightstorm, and a bunch of the Kenner Predators. I think they got it off Xenopedia too.

So far, aside from the confusing names... It looks to be interesting. Mooneyham does some good Predators. I like the way he draws them.
....Also we see Rocksteady from TMNT in the comic.. Not really, I just call that mutant Rocksteady cause well... come on, humanoid Rhino!
Interesting to see the Hish mentioned. Looking forward to getting my copy in the mail.

Looks like John Shirley finally gets his wish, Hish and Yautja officially appear to be in the same universe (sort of). I remember he wished for Yautja and Hish to be in the same universe but as different clans.
This comic took it further.
You know how in the Rage War, the Predators are said to have different languages? Yautja and Hish-qu-Ten can easily be their version of human, hominum, ningen etc (all these are various different languages for "human")
At least for these new Predators we seem to be getting, that seems like a more plausible theory rather than the whole different species because honestly, one version has huge females and the other has sex changing characteristics.
It makes much more sense to make them both the same species just have a different word for their kind like we do. I like seeing it this way because it seems more consistent and makes sense to me. I disregard the Hish books as they don't fit that well with the timeline, but I like some elements such as the name Hish-qu-Ten and some of their clan customs can work for a more outlandish clan.

This could potentially be the case but... I don't think that it might be seeing as Layman more or less mentions in the fight card that the semantics really don't matter, and it's probably open to interpretation. As for Shirely, well... Yeah, he more or less said that but at the same time he did say that they were also supposed to be cousin races, just one was supposed to be less developed than the other. He said the latter in regards to the Yautja.

We need to remember that the new EU and the Rage War more or less have no footing here in this crossover, especially since it's set in the IDW Dredd universe. And I'm not even sure if that is even at all canon in IDW's continuity, so there is a good chance that isn't, unlike with the first two AVP/Dredd crossovers which are set in the 2000 AD continuity.
I mean I get what you are trying to say but... all of that holds no real weight in this universe. For all we even know, the Engineers and the Black Goo might not even exist in this universe (and I hope to God they don't).
To me, it's like Layman looked at the Wikipedia article for Predator and just briefly researched it and said: "Screw it, semantics don't matter! Tomato-Tomahto, they're frickin' Predators" and well... his writing seems to indicate that, humorously!
Quote from: The Alien Predator on Jul 31, 2016, 04:13:56 AM
It makes much more sense to make them both the same species just have a different word for their kind like we do.
For me, I would prefer if the traditional Predators were the Yautja, but the Super Predators were the Hish'qu-ten. Whether or not this will be reflected in the current canon EU, remains to be seen. The fact that Lebbon more or less confirmed that he wasn't aware of the Hish until I brought it to his attention in that Q&A, more or less seems to indicate that might not be the case.
Now.. if we want both species to be Yautja (which I find... disagreeable), fine.. but give them faction names. I mean look at the Protoss in the Starcraft series, all factions of the greater affiliation are Protoss but you have the Khalai, the Nerazim and the Tal'darim. I'd be okay with this if they ALL had to be Yautja, but the traditional Predators were Yautja, the Super Predators were Hish... and if there HAS to be a third faction, then something else.

The Hish just... left a really bad impression for me, and I'm surprised they're making a come back. If they have to make a comeback, retcon them and fix them. If they have to be a separate race, apply that to the Super Predators but if they have to ALL be Yautja.. do what Starcraft did with the Protoss.
Anyway... as far as THIS comic is concerned... let's hope that what it did doesn't catch on in the canon(s). Also, I hope that this comic more or less doesn't leave me so underwhelmed like the Vampirella vs Aliens comic.
Something I'm learning about these new comics Dark Horse is putting out.. If it's not one thing, it's another.
In Mortal Kombat X, there's a variation called Hish Qu Ten
There's also a move called Yautja Strike
I really wouldn't dig too deep into why Predator vs. Dredd mentions both (like MKX)
The writer apparently gave it little thought

All I can say is, at least the current New EU continuity is using A Yautja concept (note that I didn't say THE Yautja concept-- as in the original by the Perry's).

Ok, so wow. :D
Just finished reading issue #2 and it really is meeting my expectations.
Spoiler
Loving the individual Predator designs and we even have Judge Dredd reference that he met the Aliens in the previous crossover! :D Continuity is always a win!
We get a human/Alien hybrid mutant as well as a Predalien right at the end which will be squaring off against Dredd in the next issue! :D
I love the seamless blend of humor, action and body horror, the writing is top-notch as is the artwork.
So far this may end up becoming my favorite of our current fair with Defiance not far behind. :laugh:

This is my favorite ongoing series in the Alien/Pred universe right now. The preds are rad looking. In general, the art style in this is excellent and full of energy.

Thanks for sharing! :)
Looks like the PredAlien is almost taking cues from Requiem. Is it? Sans the Queen's crest of course.
I had little interest in this, but the reaction it's getting is tempting me...
Yeah I was going to pass this but it does look good, i'll probably get it when its collected.
I saw some art from Dredd vs aliens and I may have to get that one as well.

How are Aliens portrayed in this series though? Are they used as target practice or what exactly? Still not convinced on this one..looks like Dark Horse's regular mad scientist shoot em up fkfest. I hope I'm wrong?
How is the series going so far has anyone read any issues yet? I have the first 2 but I haven't gotten around to reading them yet but I probably will after I read Future Quest.
Apparently, the lead Predator's name is Bosu.

So far they've been built up a lot, the usual mad scientist talk of their genetic perfection and such, but they've yet to actually make an appearance. I have high hopes, but then again... Dredd has to survive against a mutant Human/Alien hybrid and a PredAlien and Dredd is unarmed as the scene ends... I swear, if Dredd punches a PredAlien to death I will cry, but I think the writer has more class than that. :P
I liked issue #2 quite a bit! Mooneyham's art is just as great as I remember from
Predator: Fireand Stone, and I'm digging the design of the Predators and how their story is unfolding.
Spoiler
I don't love the human-Xeno hybrid Judge, but I'm more than excited for a proper PredAlien. This series has had a good tonal balance so far. It's good to see that it's not taking itself overly seriously.
"Impersonating a messiah" also got a laugh out of me. :laugh:
This series is surprising me, and I'm looking forward to the next issue.
I hadn't realized it was the same artist as in P: F&S...I'm tempted now. I feel dirty. :laugh:
I thought this was a monthly thing...
#3 only coming out in November. Why???

#1 late July
#2 late Aug.
#3 early Nov.
#4 late Nov.
Weird schedule
Art delays perhaps?
Most likely yeah.
But its still a pain. So far the only comics I've been getting lately, that havent had delays are:
Aliens - Defiance
The Life and Death saga
Doctor Who - The Ninth Doctor Year One
Thats it

Okay so only two of the series I've been getting havent had delays
This wait is excruciating
2 months is a real killjoy
I know we can always speculate that it was an art delay but the last issue came out Aug. 31st now they are expecting #3 Nov. 30th and after that Dec. 28th for issue 4. Anyone know if anything did happen? I remember picking up the first issue the day it came out in New York at Midtown comics and they certainly had hype around it, it feels like an eternity now from that time.
Who knows, it could even end up getting delayed again.
Wow...last time I checked...it was delayed from end of Sept. to early Nov.
Now it's end of Nov.?
f**k this shit
So was this comic quietly cancelled or is it still ongoing? My local comic shop knows nothing about when issue 3 is coming out.
It's a shame because the story and art are really really good!
I mean these Predators actually have very different armor from each other and everything is so detailed!
Issue 3 due Dec 7. Issue 4 due Dec 28.
Thanks, SM.
I was a bit bummed that it got delayed, but on the bright side, at least we'll get two issues in December.

Interesting that they more or less are using the AVP-R PredAlien design... at least I think they are, or something close to it.

5 out of 5.
#3 was all right...expected a bit more action...

The pred with the sword arm dies really nonsensically
He stabs the weird human/alien mutant in the back, and a ton of acid blood somebow douses his...face?
Then the mutant and the predalien get blown to bots firing squad style...was expecting a more interesting clash
I think this series is going to have a rushed ending
Finally got my own copy of issue three of the crossover series, and I can happily say that the series has redeemed itself for me.
According to Judge Anderson, the Predators DO REFER to themselves as Yautja. So as far as I am aware, that is what they are definitively according to Anderson, since she can peer into their minds and interpret what's going on.
Also that ending is INSANE... I love the Dreddverse Aliens and Predators!

Awesome, how does she come to the conclusion that they're Yautja? Did she read the thought and mention it to Dredd? I just wonder how she would know since they'd probably have a very alien thought process.

We have to remember that the Dreddverse Aliens and Predators may not necessarily follow the current canon (THANK GOD!) which Dark Horse is currently running. While I do agree that the Yautja thought process is alien, I remember reading in the old EU that some Yautja were powerful psionics, but most had a latent potential. Either way, looking at the panels, Anderson just says that she is able to understand them clearly enough.
Also, these Predators are strangely much more heroic than the ones we've ever seen, more so than Dachande and even Ahab. I like these Predators. I like them a lot. These are the Predators I grew up with.. Good to know they're in a way, still alive albeit in another universe's canon.

Awesome, how does she come to the conclusion that they're Yautja? Did she read the thought and mention it to Dredd?
That's exactly what happened.

I just got reminded of Dutch's descendant in the previous Dredd crossover with Predator that was able to psychically connect with and understand the Predator.
What makes these guys heroic?

Psi-Division Schaefer wasn't as powerful as Anderson, the latter being considered the most powerful Psi-Judge in the Dreddverse. Schaefer had trouble controlling her own psionic abilities, and said that they came and went. But when she drank the blood of the Predator in the Judge Dredd vs Predator crossover, she was able to see through the Predator's eyes-- and it was able to sense her probing her mind. So was she able to psychically connect with the Predator? Yes, but only through ingesting Predator blood-- and able to tell that it was dying from heart failure. Although this connection was very brief. Compared to Judge Schaefer, Anderson might as well be Jean Grey.

The fact that they actually went out of their way to save Judge Anderson, then captured Reinstot and his Animen, and lock them up within their own holding-- not to mention agreeing to spare Reinstot and his creatures for Judge Dredd to sentence. Not to mention, they're working alongside Dredd and Anderson-- and if the ending to this issue is an indication, you know where this is going to go.
Does this story have the Angel Family in it? There was an old Judge Dredd vs Predator along time ago which I thought was good. I'll have to check this out.

We don't know if they are straight up the Kenner versions... considering that the hosts were well... spliced, think if Bebop or Rocksteady had been hosts to Xenomorphs. Imagine.. a Bipedal Rhino Alien. I think that's what we're getting.

Aren't there, like, two Dredd universes now? The one IDW has been writing, and the "vanilla" 2000AD one that's been published for decades? Or does the IDW stuff fit into the regular one?
Also does this new series make any references to the old Dredd crossovers with Aliens or Predator?

Dredd mentions having run into both creatures before I believe.

Yeah, there are actually MULTIPLE Dredd universes. IDW's is just another addition to the Dredd multiverse.
Though some of IDW's material does cover over what happened in 2000 AD's continuity and fit in it-- according to the Wikipedia entry anyway.
Quote from: 426Buddy on Jan 27, 2017, 01:04:13 AM
Dredd mentions having run into both creatures before I believe.
He only mentions the encounter with the Aliens in issue three, I believe.. So far nothing in regards to encountering the Predators but it's not unreasonable to assume that he did if he encountered the Aliens prior, as both crossovers are set in the 2000 AD Universe.
Yeah, I'll think I'll stick with the Dreddverse Aliens and Predators. Also... that's something that needs to be discussed more.. Alien Theory should touch on that topic. Aliens and Predators existing canonically in external universes.
Off the top of my head, Aliens canonically existed in the Wildstorm universe until the DC New 52 reboot. You could also argue that they exist in the Top Cow (Witchblade/Darkness) universe, although it's a little bit hazier whether crossovers are "canon" in that universe.

That they did, but at the time, WildCats was part of the Image universe too but... well, characters and writers transitioned and all went to DC.. But I would think that the Crisis event of the 2000s more or less undid Aliens/WildCATS when Superman Prime punched reality. And then the New 52 happened which... yeah, pretty much re-wrote everything. Though they might exist still considering the whole Convergence thing... Speaking of DC...
The Batman and Dredd crossovers are considered canon in Dredd too... so... if Aliens and Predators and Batman exist in the Dredd universe, it's hypothetical and theoretical that the Batman vs AVP crossovers probably happened in the same universe. Not sure about the Superman ones.

I wouldn't think so in the case of Witchblade/Darkness, as the origins of both the Witchblade and the Darkness are tied to the Angelus, where the crossovers hinted that the Witchblade was apparently meant for the Predators to use. Which was weird. Cool but weird.

specifically in the Dredd universe, but you'd be kinda using the same logic behind The Tommy Westphall Universe theory (https://thetommywestphall.wordpress.com/). :P

To be fair the Witchblade/Darkness/AvP crossovers were written well before the "true origins" of the Witchblade and Darkness were spelled out. I was more of arguing from the logic that Witchblade has had a
shitload of crossovers over the years, and they're never really outright treated as being "out of continuity".

Well, it was just a theory and hypothetical thought which I was offering up. Chances are that the Batman crossovers might've involved an Elseworlds Batman which was different from the Batman seen in the AVP/Batman crossovers. But yeah... I see what you mean.

I've never really read the Witchblade/Darkness stand-alone titles. So you probably know more about those than I do.
I was a big Witchblade fan for a long time (and to a degree, I still am).

I'm referring to their TMNT comics which I've become quite the fan of, as they are very good, but... yes..
I wonder if this.. hold up has anything to do with Dark Horse cancelling on the Star Trek crossover, which IDW also has the license too.. Probably not but, it seems odd that cancellation happened and this delay upon delay is occuring. Is there a falling out we don't know about?

I know... they've gotten so far already with it. It's 4 issues and they done 3 already. I wonder what's troubling them so much to keep pushing the last one so far back.
I would hate it if there is some sort of clash going on with the two collaborating companies. I mean it would suck if this story was incomplete.

Tfaw is saying May 3rd now. :-\
Starting to wonder...
Ok... It's gonna get cancelled...
If they cancel this series with one Issue to go, Im gonna get on a plane and punch someone
DH and IDW must be having problems. Between this and the Star Trek crossover getting canceled it looks that way.
That really sucks, whats worse is that the work on the issue is probably finished and still may never see release.
This series was too fun to just go unfinished.
I know its futile but i'm going to write another letter to DH, I'll let them know they must find a way get this series finished.
Literally just one issue is left to do.
It's not like that Alien and Star Trek crossover which wasn't even started, just some concepts on the covers were done and the idea was pitched.
But this series is more than halfway done. Just one more issue and it's completed. It'd suck to see this cancelled.
I really hope this delay bullshit doesn't signify this comic getting cancelled.. The Dreddverse Predators might be all I have left to enjoy what I can of my favorite alien hunters. If it does get cancelled, I'm going to be immensely disappointed.
If there are problems happening between IDW and Dark Horse, I'd like to know what is going on.

OMG...has to be legal conflict
It will almost be a full year before all four issues have been released and that is IF issue four comes out in May. Dark Horse still has it listed on its website so we have that going for us, that and they have the pre-order option still up. I want to say it has something to do with a legal problem or they are timing it for Covenant.

I'm just glad that Aliens and Predators canonically exist within an external franchise that Fox doesn't own and are pretty much legit AU versions of the mainstream Aliens and Predators, which is something, I think should be talked about and accepted with open arms about.

It's thanks to 2000AD's strict chronological approach to Dredd. Other publishing houses reset their history quite a bit. I love having 40 years of canonical Dredd. The bonus is getting great crossovers that are not ignored further down the timeline (the first Batman/Dredd crossover concluded an earlier story that had Judge Death and Mean Machine on the loose). It's pretty cool.
How do they explain Dredd's advancing years? I've got a lot of 2000AD comics that were originally from the late 70's to mid 80s, but I've not read a new Dredd comic - other than crossovers - for a very long time. He wasn't exactly young when he was first introduced.

I'm not well versed in Judge Dredd, but I think there's a drug or some treatment that keeps the Judges young.
But PsyJudges such as Judge Anderson aren't allowed to take said drugs. So you actually see her age until she reaches her fifties while Judge Dredd and the other Judges remain young looking and ever ready for duty.
That's what I learned when reading up on Anderson online as I found her interesting in that crossover with the Martians from Mars Attacks.
I just hope its gets released at this point, i have a bad feeling that its gonna be canceled. Especially if they cant even get it out on or before alien day.

He's in his 70's now and getting on, though a recent issue had him undergo a rejuve to smooth over some of the cracks in Ol Stonyface.

Not to the mainstream Alien/Predator canon, no..
But it is canon to the mainstream 2000AD Judge Dredd canon. So, Aliens and Predators DO canonically exist in the Dredd universe... Think of them as legit, AU versions of the creatures we know. That might be the case. It's kind of like King Kong existing in the Toho Showa-era Godzilla universe.
Got around to properly reading issue #3, and I have to say it felt really rushed.
Spoiler
Moonryham is still killing it on art, but the PredAlien was dispatched way too fast. The series could have used an extra issue to flesh things out. That, of course, is assuming the last issue ever actually comes out. It would be a shame if this series never got completed. The Kenner xenos at the end were cool, here's hoping they actually get an issue to shine.
One gripe is the series seems to lack a "regular" xenomorph, i.e. a humalien gestated inside a human host

There might be a chance for you to still enjoy Predator especially with this upcoming Predator comic that features returning characters from the old EU like the Native American guy who faced them, I think he was a Navajo.
Plus the new Predator Anthology has Steve Perry returning so we might get some of his old Yautja stuff in his story. John Shirley's also writing his own in the Anthology but I don't know if he'll do the Hish in it, maybe integrate them as some sub species.

Clinging onto old things and getting heart breaks when the franchise tries new things that you don't agree with isn't gonna do you any good man.
So what is it about the new comic that was announced that you don't like this time? Because from the previews that I saw, it shows the usual thing you'd see in the old comics, Predators hunting. And best of all, it's some familiar characters as well from the old EU.
Rakai, sometimes I do questions why you're still here man. You're always welcome, but you're starting to get so negative about this franchise and refusing to at least give some new things a chance that it's illogical to linger around and be reminded of how much things have changed. Even Steve freaking Perry can't save it for you anymore then you know you're jaded as you've always liked his Yautja stories.
I think you'll be much more happier on DeviantArt or on places about franchises you still love such as TMNT (including the TMNT thread here as well.)

I think you are correct in that its a rights issue, IDW was also supposed to co-produce the now canceled aliens vs star trek series. I'm guessing there is some serious issues going on behind the scenes.

Alright, at this point I'm sure there is some issue going on between Dark Horse and IDW. I wouldn't be surprised if this sours future collaborations between two companies to where they won't want to work with one another again.
I'm sure it will leak online, eventually.

It's Eddie from Iron Maiden :)

Thanks...who is Eddie attacking (in the avatar image)?
Just some guy :) Eddie's bursting out of a stone tomb and grabbing him by the throat. It's the original artwork from their No Prayer for the Dying album (later versions edit out the man and just show Eddie busting out of the grave).
Thanks bro...I like that art

It is an awesome piece of art. I do prefer it to the 1998 Remastered Version :)
Also has PvsJDvsA been brought forward to the beginning of May now?

We're not gonna see this anytime soon.
Oh Jesus Christ, what the hell is going on?

One can hope. This might be the last good Predator well... anything I might be able to dig. I'd hate for it to be cancelled.
Come on man! June 14th isn't that far away! You can do it!
Still June 14...is this happening?
Wow, is this actually happening!? ;D
They even has the collected version listed over on the DH site! It may be happening.

I ain't gonna lie...I wouldn't be surprised by a re-scheduling on June 13
There's still time for a delay! :laugh:
It is not a good sign that there is no preview yet.
Edit:
Don't worry. I found this review.

Finally! I cant wait to pick this bad boy up tomorrow ;D
Not so favourable review of #4 (surprisingly...posted a week ago)

Sounds like a problem is that Dredd overshadows the preds and xenos
Its been released. Hallelujah

But in some alternative universe somewhere, it's been delayed until July. :P
Was a pretty cool final issue, wish we didnt have to wait so long for it but glad we got it. This issue was a bit sillier but i did like its continued sense of fun.
Probably the weakest of the 4 issues, but overall it was a really enjoyable crossover.

Yeah July 2018
I did enjoy this issue a good end to the story, although it did seem a bit quick, but it probs would have flowed better if it hadn't been delayed constantly
I agree with Whiskey, it would've flowed smoother if it wasn't being constantly delayed.
I noticed that the
Spoiler
Predators are kind of unknown in this crossover as opposed to the last one. They were classed as "unknown lifeforms" when the Judges scanned the Predator ship.
In the last crossover, the Predators were well known and a news reported was talking about the hunt taking place lol. I guess despite Dredd in this new crossover "has encountered them before", it sort of has this little contradiction which makes me think they're not really linked and are just their own stories.
Rakai will love it, more multiverse. :P

Of course I love having choices, having alternatives is a good thing.
Now if we can just get Fox to f**king make it official for the mainstream stuff...

I can't help but feel the actual number of people who want that is pretty tiny, while it would probably just serve to confuse most casual fans.
Yep.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the introduction of the manliest Alien of all in the fourth issue, the Beardomorph! XD
I enjoyed the the comic but it felt more like a set-up that was snuffed out in the prologue. It could have benefited with a few more parts and the Aliens and Predators having a greater impact. Also, I've said it many times and people are probably bored with hearing it but... I really don't like the "heroic" Predator buddies of mighty humanity thing. But that's just me and I guess having too many antagonists would make for a clusterf**k of a narrative.
Just finished reading Predator vs Judge Dredd vs Aliens #4-- and what I consider to be the FINAL appearance of the Yautja I grew up with from the 90s to mid 2000s... So what are my thoughts?
After delayed months of waiting... this series starts off with a bang in the first issue, but ends on a whimper. The Predators didn't get to do much in this issue, and I think the clan leader, Bosu, dies without a second thought. Which.. is kind of off-putting. The Spliced Xenomorphs were cool, and weren't done full Kenner, thank God. The Reinstot Queen was a nice touch. I liked this series but felt more could've been done and the last entry felt rushed.
Methinks that the issues which IDW and Dark Horse had may have been a factor in why the ending feels... off.
Since I've been revisiting some of the older crossovers lately and finding I'm actually enjoying them I picked this up on the shelve when I picked up the new comics yesterday. And again, I enjoyed it! I'm not knowledgable about Dredd but I enjoyed him well enough in here.
You can't take these crossovers too seriously so it works as being fun. I liked all the DNA splicing stuff and all the crazy-ass hybrids! Especially enjoyed the Predator design with the Alien torso as armour.
Yeah this crossover was great fun, i really like the predators in this one.
Aliens vs Judge Dredd: Incubus was really cool too. I recommend it if you havent read that one yet.
I think it was actually the first Aliens comic I owned - if not read. I remember picking up the last issue from a local news agent when I saw it on the stand. It was definitely the first I brought myself, if it wasn't the first I read, then that was Superman vs. Aliens from a local library.

Ya I just find the crossovers to be fun reads with my favorite movie monsters. Plus I love seeing different artists' take on Xenomorphs and Predators. Archie vs Predator next?
Predator vs Judge Dredd (1997) was really fun also.
Of course, the Predator loses again but what can you do

The 90s Predator vs. Dredd has better story and actio IMO...and the predator really shines (it's a great idea...a terminally ill predator on a final glorious hunt)
I do love Mooneyham's art, but the rest of the latest Predator vs. Dredd is mediocre
