Aliens vs. Predator: Eternal

Rating:
Summary: Short but good
Review: This comic is very short, but the story is one that should have been on a 112 page compilation. I liked the artwork very much in this one as it expressed the dark and moody nature of the story. The dialogue is very brief and for many people it will require many reads before you will fully understand the story. The story is about a reporter, while covering a peace treaty between the rebels and the government in Africa, suddenly witnesses both sides get massacred by invisible attackers. In the attack, her cameraman is brutally killed. The reporter seeks to avenge his death by finding the person who ordered the attack. This leads her to Gideon Lee, a trillionaire who the reporter traces the attack to. Lee is a 700 year old man who has rejuvinated himself time after time through predator technology, but he is apparently running out of that technology, so when he finds out that a ship of predators has arrived to reclaim the technology Lee stole from them, Lee uses this as an oppurtunity to steal their technology so he may live longer. A good book with some great artwork. I especially liked the art at the climax. The book's weaknesses are that it is a little too short, and the appearance of the Aliens is a quite infrequent. If you like a different kind of AvP book, this is a good buy. But if prefer something extremely action packed and a longer read, then this isn't for you.

Summary: Too bad there's no "zero star" rating
Review: This is a dumb-sized book that tries to cash in on the popularity of the Alien and Predator movies. Nothing new : go watch the movies instead! No original thought and no really good SF concepts. More for a 13-year-old. Not a very bright 13-year-old, for that matter.
