Name: Predator #1
Published by: Marvel comics
Writter: Ed Brisson
Artists: Kev Walker
Colorists: Frank D'Armata
Letterer: Clayton Cowles
While the story of revenge for having your loved ones killed isn't definitely something new, Ed Brisson did reverse the role of the predator and prey to give the story a new twist with some bombastic art to boot. And this is a high time for the franchise with the new movie being a hit and Marvel starting to publish new comics.
This first issue introduces us to the human protagonist, who might remind readers a bit of 'Naru' from 'Prey', but despite having the quite done and dusted background of being motivated by revenge her character was fleshed out quite methodically and her ships AI has its unique attitudes to be quite likeable.
This issue had a fair bit of action sequences which were drawn with jubilant style and colors, giving a sense of action and urgency. The ship designs were quite delightful and the author did try to give us a bit of information about the activities of the Predators as a race of hunters. But I myself expected some more actions, specially knowing about the history of the franchise.
Overall, any reader will fill invested in Theta after learning of her past and her mission and her dire predicaments after the ending of this issue.
This one gets, 3.5 out of 5 stars from me.
