Predator: Prey to the Heavens Review

Predator: Prey to the Heavens. John Arcudi and Javier Saltares. 2010. Dark Horse. 96 pages.

Rating: 1/5

Where do I even begin? This story is set in an Africa town with a U.S. (?) military base stationed nearby. The town has been decimated due to a conflict with a local warlord. And then some predators show up and start killing people. That's pretty much all that happens here. It really could have used an extra 32 pages to fill out some story.

It does give some back story on the human characters, although they still end up feeling pretty flat. There isn't much for plot. The predators are hunting the humans for unstated reasons (anyone that knows anything about predators can figure it out), and another group of predators is hunting them.

The book is full of action and the art isn't bad. These just weren't enough to carry it for me.
