I love the Alien, Predator and AvP films a ridiculous amount. While rewatching I decided to finally try the comics, I'd heard good things, but wasn't expecting a lot. But this is honestly one of the best graphic novels I've read in a long time. Heck just the first chapter alone blew my socks off. Great characters, super interesting story, loads of action, but not brainless at all. Would recommend to any fans of either franchise.
Enjoyable; a 'good enough' addition to the world of Aliens and Predators. It was sort of predictable, but interesting enough to keep one reading.
The art was fine, given when it was originally printed (it's not in the style I prefer).
3 out of 5 stars.

The novelisation for this is one of my favourite in the franchises so it was nice to read the original. I think it helped that I knew the story so well as a lot of the panels featuring the Predators didn't explain what was going on that well and if I hadn't read the novelisation I would have been left wondering what was going on.
The action is nicely depicted and I enjoyed the transition of Machiko from corporate hard-case to monster-killer.
The artwork was fine, nothing special but everything was clearly depicted and even each Predator was identifyable.
As a thicker graphic novel this was a very satisfying read.

Not bad, better than the movies, certainly. There's some very high-quality art. I think these were written before the establishment that the xenomorphs change depending on what their host is, so that was a bummer. Would have been really cool to see alien (different aliens, that is) xenomorph types.
