4.0 out of 5 stars
Same flaws as the film, possibly to a lesser degree, November 30, 2004
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Alien vs. Predator: Thrill of the Hunt (Aliens Vs. Predator) (Paperback)
Plot synopsis:
A Predator is captured on a hunting reserve in the distant future. Despite security measures the xeno-life-form escapes...and leaves a trail of Aliens for the pursuing humans to fight their way through.
It seems oddly coincedental that a graphic novel which claims to borrow elements from the movie shares its flaws. To get things done quickly and conveinently:
Pros:
-Predators and Aliens have equal on-screen (on-paper?) time
-Pred (yes, not predS, Pred) drawn well, Aliens okay
-Interesting story, but not perfected
-Pred executes hunting techniques frequently
-Pred's lack of camouflage use explained well
Cons:
-Cut short
-Aliens and Predator never fight (YES! YOU HEARD RIGHT! The Predator and Alien never engage each other in combat!)
-Predator seems underpowered
Well, that wraps it up as quickly as possible...

2.0 out of 5 stars
Late and small, October 16, 2004
This review is from: Alien vs. Predator: Thrill of the Hunt (Aliens Vs. Predator) (Paperback)
This was originally due on September 1 and didn't ship until Oct 13, and when it finally did it was digest size as well instead of the usual larger prestige format that special comics like this get. Its a great length for a prestige, but as the digest size it just seems very very small.
The presentation is nice however, even with the non-glossy paper. The story ties in well with the film as well as the established history of the characters in Dark Horse's prior titles, and still takes a unique stance on the entire thing as well.
Its just too little too late, and too small. Huge letdown.

Worse AVP Aliens title ever, December 30, 2006

By far the worse title, doesnt compare to the others at all. Poorly written, poor story, waste of money, sorry.
