This is what AVP should look like
Review date: 2008-07-17 Rating: 10 out of 10

Although it is quite a simple tale it is well written, brilliantly drawn. Written years before AVP or the even more dire AVP 2 this collection show how the story should be. In Aliens Vs. Predator Omnibus: Volume 1 on the planet Ryushi the old manager of the planet is retiring and the new female boss is not liked, a mix of a small ranching community and big buisiness a robotic craft lands and unloads Alien eggs The load herd is soon infected by face huggers but the local farmer gets them loaded on a huge space ship rather than lose a bonus because of illness. The local vet goes to where the herd got ill there he finds is a class of Predators have seeded the planet with the Alien eggs in order to create the hunt. The Predators chase the Vet who crashes into the Predator ship causing and explosion but the young Predators don't know is that their leader has been knocked out in the crash and not killed. The young Predators go on a hunt but killing the local farmers rather than Aliens. The new boss goes to find the missing Vet only to find the Leader, She takes the leader to town when the youngsters attack, while all this is happening one of the eggs must have been an Alien Queen and now the Space ship if full of thousands of Aliens, the hunters become the hunted and they may have to turn to the very same humans they have been hunting if any of them is to have any hope of survival.
More in the Aliens style this tale is the reason why AVP ever happened if only AVP was as good. Maybe the should have just filmed this.
