Predator Volume 1: Concrete Jungle by Chris Warner, Dark Horse Comics
4.0

A fun throwback before Predator 2 made a splash on the big screen.

Funny enough alot of the start feels like Predator 2. Gang wars, fucked up city, cop storyline. All very familiar. I will say though by the half way mark this goes in a wildly different direction, a Alien invasion, and some brutal kills and fights. This is the story of Schaefer, who's the brother of Dutch from the first Predator movie. We follow him as he links everything together and learns about the Predators. It's a fun romp with a lot of 90's action with some cool kills from the Predators themselves.

I will say though the story feels disjointed, and jumping around to WAY too many areas at times. It starts simple but by the end, it goes in a insane direction, which is both good because entertaining, but a bit too wild that you question things.

Overall, if like a fun storyline with a cool 80's action star, and Predators murdering people, this is really solid. A 3.5 out of 5.
