Mark Verheiden Knihy

This is the first hardback edition of a series of movie tie-ins. The stories range from the competition on Earth to develop the Alien as a new kind of biological weapon, to Earth being totally overrun by Aliens, to the return of Lieutenant Ripley.

Wilks and Billie confront their worst fears when they return to the Aliens' homeworld. Among their team are those who want live specimens, and they intend to get them, whatever the risk. This new edition includes text updates and colour gallery pages.

Now reprinted in its entirety is the hottest miniseries of recent years! This volume collects the now-classic six-issue series by Mark Verheiden and Mark A. Nelson, as well as the short story from Dark Horse Presents #24.

V první knize sbírky kompletující komiksové příběhy s nelítostnými lovci z vesmíru, se podíváte jak do amazonské džungle, tak na ruské ledové pláně, navštívíte jak domorodé kmeny, tak mocné drogové barony. Na více než 400 stranách zavítáte jak do epochy samurajů, tak do éry kolonizace i zákopů první světové války… a dostanete se i na další místa, na kterých se země zbarví krví. A je jedno, jestli je ta země pokrytá trávou nebo sněhem. Tak šťastnou cestu… a pozor na hlavu. Lovci z jiného světa, přitahovaní teplem a násilím. Predátoři. Jsou nám fyzicky nadřazení, vybaveni smrtící mimozemskou technologií a navíc se dokáží udělat téměř neviditelnými. Po celou dobu lidské historie využívali Zemi jako svou soukromou loveckou oboru. Zjevovali se na bojištích a na gangy ovládaných ulicích, ne proto, aby si nás podmanili nebo aby nám pomohli v boji se zlem, ale jen aby získali své děsivé trofeje. Jejich kořistí totiž nejsou lvi nebo sloni, ale ta nejnebezpečnější lovná zvěř ze všech – člověk. Americké nakladatelství Dark Horse se odvážně pustilo do rozšiřování filmové legendy. Úspěšně nastartovalo komiksovou řadu, která vycházela z ducha a událostí původního filmu – a udělalo to tak dobře, že mnoho věcí z komiksu se zařadilo do predátorské mytologie a překonalo nepříliš slavné filmové pokračování.

"The galaxy's most terrifying creatures are coming for Earth! Years after the first two Aliens films, a Xenomorph attack in space leads the Colonial Marines to take action. Soon, the badly scarred Hicks and the now-grown Newt find themselves swept up in a dangerous mission to locate and destroy the creatures' homeworld! But when Earth itself is overrun by a Xenomorph outbreak, Hicks and Newt must join a renegade group fighting to reclaim the planet. Can an obsessed military man train Aliens to wipe out their own kind? And can an old friend help Hicks and Newt turn the tide - by capturing an Alien Queen Mother? Plus: An outer-space treasure hunt becomes a battle for survival when Aliens attack! "--Page 4 of cover

Wilks, Billie, and Bueller were the last survivors of a devastating assault on the aliens' home planet.

Now, in an otherwise unmanned military transport, they hurtle through space, destination: unknown, while in the cargo hold they carry with them a legacy of death they thought they'd left behind

These are the comics stories that kept fear alive. Since 1988, whether there was an Alien film on the horizon or not, Dark Horse Comics delivered scares that audiences demanded. From the depths of space, to bizarre alien worlds, and even to surface of our own dear Earth, in the pages of comic books there were dozens of sequels and spinoffs to the films, as well as original stories that carried the monsters and the mythos to new heights

Her actions, and the repercussions, are explored in this controversial saga that leads into INFINITE CRISIS.Collects: SUPERMAN #218-220; ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #642-643; ACTION COMICS #829; and WONDER WOMAN #219-220.
