This Summer, Predator Hunts for Four-Panel Glory
It's been a tough decade for Predator fans, what with two Aliens crossover movies and nary a watchable scene between them. Will the '10s be any kinder to our favorite E.T. hunters? If Robert Rodriguez has anything to say about it, they will. The Grindhouse director is planning a reboot of the series for 2010 called Predators (smartly titled in accordance with James Cameron's first Alien sequel to whet fanboys' appetites), which promises a return to the good 'ole ass-kicking days of Arnold in a rain forest -- minus Gov. Schwarzenegger, of course.
If that's not enough to get your infrared sensors ablaze, take a sneak peek at Dark Horse Comics' Predator #1, the first of an all-new comic book series written by John Arcudi (Aliens, B.P.R.D) with art from Javier Salteras of Ghost Rider fame. The story, to be released this June, unfolds as the world grapples with a bloody third-world Civil War only to find that two warring tribes from the stars have chosen Earth as a battleground for their own conflict. We know, sounds a bit too much like Alien vs. Predator. But Arcudi's a proven talent with a host of palatable Aliens stories, and the art looks downright mesmerizing.
Don't believe us? Take a look for yourself in our Horror Comics Horror Movies photo gallery, where you'll find comic art for everything from Resident Evil to Plan 9 From Outer Space. Relief from the Predator doldrums is finally only a click away.

EVERLASTING
Selling Planet Earth in Exchange for a Utopia? What’s the Catch?
Humans sold planet Earth for peace, but little did they know peace would come at such a high cost.
A long time ago, Humanity sold planet Earth to a group called the Evers in order to gain peace and a virtual utopia for themselves and for future generations. However, the cost of this paradise turns out to be too much for some to deal with and the humans soon find themselves ruled cruelly by the very beings who offered them salvation and at one point given them so much hope.
Humans that were originally treated with high regards, made to feels special, are now being treated as animals, some humiliated and shipped away to some unknown fate…each being told what they could or could not do, under the guise of it being in humanities best interest.
With a feeling of dread, a small group declares war on the more advanced Evers in hopes of returning things to the way they should be…to the way they had been. John and his make-shift crew of humans and hybrids (half human/half Ever) must not only find a way to break free of the mistakes of the past and find out the disturbing secrets that the Evers have hidden away, but they must also deal with their own personal issues and learn to live, grow, and deal with each others’ emotional issues of love, regret and fear.
Will man give up youth and perfect health to live in the past? And will John take the chance of restoring Earth to its former state even though there’s a good chance his life-threatening disease can return?
