Predator: the Original Years Omnibus Vol. 1
by Mark Verheiden
100% did not expect to enjoy this as much as I did.
As some people know I've been waiting for this Omnibus for like 2+ years, maybe 3 years, now and I'm so glad to finally have it. Predator goes back and gives us the stories originally published years and years ago after the movie was a huge success.
Opening with one of the biggest stories, Concreate Jungle, we have the Predator come to New York City. What starts off eerily similar to Predator 2 the movie quickly turns into a full on invasion storyline by the end equipped with a whole army of the Predators. It's a fun story that kicks off this collection the right way.
After that we travel through various different stories, some funny and over the top like the Italian mob verses predators to ones more serious like a Pirate fighting for his life with a Predator to more somber stories such as the final one titled Kindred which sees a small town attacked by the creature of darkness. While there's a few stories that didn't work for me, the vast majority are either fun and dumb or actually legit really well done Predator stories that I'd love to see in a movie some day maybe.
Overall, a great collection for Predator fans. I'd dare say better than even any of the Alien Omnibus (Even the first which I enjoyed) and far superior to 2 and especially 3 for Alien Omnibus. I hope we get another which I believe will finish it up. So give me more Marvel. MORE!!!
