Predator: Homeworld
Naturalist Maya Bergstrom and ex-combat photographer George Maxwell have just met a Predator for the first time -- an ancient, legendary warrior unlike any other Predator. But he's not here to hunt humans. His mission is to bring down three young, thrill-kill Predators that don't follow their race's warrior code. But Maya and George are on to something: the real reason Predators are flocking to Earth. If they're right, the human race is in for one hell of a wake-up call!

Not a bad read in the predator mini series run. Recommended

Cool art but story was a bit iffy. Made sense, wasn't super confusing, but also kind of...boring at times.

[My reviews are generally for me/my memory and can therefore contain spoilers. They're typically not here to provide you with a reason to read or not read something.]
Note: I read this via the second massive omnibus (on Kindle). The plan is to review each trade/mini-series/whatever as I finish them, rather than the whole omnibus or every single issue.
I honestly really enjoyed this one. The premise was simple enough but interesting. We got a couple different perspectives and it felt kind of like a fun crime drama episode with flashbacks. A biologist is out tagging some animals and ends up tailing an older Yautja, who is after a trio of slaughter-happy younger ones...who are simultaneously being followed by a photographer.
The art is...bizarre. There are aspects that are fantastic, like the coloring and backgrounds. The humans are all absolutely hideous. I LOVED the older Yautja's design, even though he went from a really nice teal to a blander green that matched the younger ones in the final issue. His Predlocks are really cool. I didn't like how gangly all of the Yautja were, though. I'd understand if it was just the older one, but it was all of them. Just really lessened the effect their appearances usually have, being so jacked and tall.
I feel like what I'm personally looking for in Predator stories may not be the norm, but I hope this is a sign that the upcoming minis will be more engaging for me. The 80s/early 90s color palettes in comics were awful and bland, and the stories were so focused on being as macho and 'Murica! as possible that there wasn't much for me to enjoy other than the Yautja themselves in 98% of the first omnibus. That's a big part of why I've wanted less human-centered stuff, unless it means a team up or something.

Starts slowly but +1 for trying something interesting with the format and art style.

September 19, 2014Atrocious artwork. Hated the illustrations so much I can't even give it a single star rating.
Illustrator Toby Cypress's adaptation of the Predator strips the creature of any intimidatory stature that had already been established, in terms of the visual design, via the films and previous comic series. Cypress opted for a slim, skinny race of Predators, a physique which calls to mind emaciation rather than menacing.
