EN As if I didn't already have enough things I enjoy reading, I decided to dive into the Predator/Aliens universe in comics — I’ve always loved this universe in the movies and just can’t get enough of it.
Comics offer a way to explore these worlds in ways the films don’t, and that’s exactly what’s done here.
Honestly, for my first comic from this universe, it was pretty solid. I genuinely enjoyed it. So much so that if I had the next one, I’d pick it up right away. A great first contact — here’s hoping the next ones keep up the momentum!

PT Como se já não tivesse coisas suficientes de que gosto para ler, decidi mergulhar no universo Predador/Aliens em banda desenhada — sempre adorei este universo nos filmes e nunca me canso dele.
A BD permite explorar estes mundos de formas que os filmes não conseguem, e foi exatamente isso que aconteceu aqui.
Honestamente, para a primeira BD que leio deste universo, foi bastante sólida. Gostei mesmo. Tanto que, se tivesse a próxima à mão, pegava nela imediatamente. Um ótimo primeiro contacto — espero que os próximos mantenham este nível!

The next instalment in Ed Brisson’s Predator tale. It was OK; fairly predictable, to be honest. It’s been so long since I read any Dark Horse Predator books, I didn’t even recognise the returning character which served as the surprise ending to issue one.
The fact that there was a fill-in artist for issue three hurt the look of the book.

A good brutal, finally. Good artwork, an okay story, a nostalgic surprise, and plenty of brutality.
Theta has been hunting the Predators, making the hunters into the hunted. However, they are called Predators for a reason. They will not accept the new status quo. Theta is about to face the most dangerous Predator yet.
This is a brutal blood bath of a series finale, or is it? Could this series have more to offer? Whatever happens next, I can't wait to see it. The book finishes with a varient covers gallery.

I really wanted "The Last Hunt" to be a fulfilling conclusion to Brisson's take on the Predator, but alas, that was not to be the result here. Don't misunderstand me, The Last Hunt™ isn't terrible by any means, but it could have been so much
better,especially considering that
Brisson's first entry into the series was so good. Instead, this 4 issue arc to close out the original run is really more of a mediocre bow out than a thrilling ending. The Story is ok with Theta trying to figure out the Predator's new hunting schemes, as well as the origin of the stasis pods that transport humans to the hunting grounds, however that's not even really answered. Either I wasn't paying enough attention or Brisson never truly had an explanation. Regardless there are still more questions than answers and I don't Know if we will ever get to see them. The art is also ok most of the way through but, as seems to be the case far too frequently these days the original artist, Manna, is replaced for the final issue and while an attempt is made to replicate Manna's original style, though it's clearly not the same and it's jarring to say the least.

Marvel's Latest Predator Series: Fun, But Falls Short
I've been following the final Predator solo series from Marvel, and while it's fun, it leans a bit too heavily into being dumb.
I really enjoyed the initial arc by Ed Brisson a couple of years ago. The subsequent storyline, though a little too reminiscent of the Predators film, was still decent. This current arc brings back John, Dutch's brother, but the pacing feels incredibly rushed.
Essentially, it's a typical setup: a group of survivors against a single, incredibly powerful Predator. However, the plot unfolds almost exactly as you'd expect. Honestly, I was hoping for a darker turn this time around. That said, if you're just looking for some sweet, bloody Predator action, it's not half bad.
Overall, I'd give it a 3 out of 5.

This was alright, a co worker was like yo, you gotta read this it's awesome!
So he let me borrow it, and unfortunately, it wasn't my favorite. The characters are meh, the art is great, at least.
I thought it was ridiculous that every time the predator made a sound, it was "Skraw".
Also, is it a thing for characters in universe to refer to them as predators? that seems a little off to me.
Amyways average comic in my opinion.

Perfectly serviceable, though I've seen better in this series.
Why is it such a thing to bring up a sibling of a beloved character and use the sibling as a stand-in?
I know it's hard to write fun, original characters, but doing this just seems like pandering, and Predator already has enough pandering as it is.
For all of that, I still enjoyed what I read.

This book was awesome! Another classic Predator story with beautiful imagery. I look forward to finding the rest.

Fin de trilogía. Ed Brisson ha estado encumbrando una reformulación de ese iconico personaje de los comics de Aliens Vs Predator con Tetha. Una mujer que al ver morir a sus padres siendo cazados por los Yautjas ha dedicado su vida entera a aprender de estos cazadores alienígenas y así poder cazarlos y hacerles pagar en sus carnes ese dolor de su existencia de muerte y dolor. Ya hemos visto cómo se forja esto y una aventura donde conoce otra terrible revelación en torno a los Predator y esos secuestros de individuos para lanzarlos a planetas de "práctica de caza". De ahí se sigue en este Last Hunt, aunque por lo visto, los Depredadores han aprendido a eludir a Tetha... pero uno en específico se ha propuesto no acobardarse e ir de frente contra la mujer Depredadora.
Sigue sorprendiéndome que se haya recogido TANTO de la película Predators (2010). Aquí nuevamente añadiendo cosas como esos sabuesos que vimos en aquella película y el diseño de este Yautja bien podría ocultar el aspecto de uno de aquellos "otros" Depredadores de aquella película. El caso es que las sorpresas no acaban ahí, y Brisson recupera a su vez un personaje de los cómics de la etapa Dark Horse que está hermanado con el gran personaje de la franquicia fílmica Predator. Esto solo anima las cosas y hace pensar en una futura historia reencontrándose con este personaje (mejor aún en la próxima película Badlands). Pero tampoco aleja el foco de la trama personal de Tetha, quien consigue un enfrentamiento catártico en el que no poder asegurar su supervivencia.
Estos nuevos comics de Depredador han conformado una buena saga. Paralelamente, se están dando crossovers con personajes de Marvel Comics que amenazan con hacer perder el impacto logrado aquí con Ed Brisson. Una de cal...

Im Grunde handelt es sich um einen typischen Aufbau: eine Gruppe von Überlebenden gegen einen einzelnen, unglaublich mächtigen Predator. Und die Handlung entwickelt sich dann auch genau so, wie man es erwarten würde. Will man einfach nur gewohnte Action, ist der Abschlußband um Theta und ihren Kampf gegen die Predatoren gar nicht so schlecht.
Die meisten Fans wissen nämlich, was sie mit Brissons „Marke“ Predator bekommen: jede Menge Fluchtszenen und Schießereien vor einem weit in der Zukunft angesiedelten Hintergrund und jede Menge Easter Eggs aus dem erweiterten Kanon der Serie. Es bleibt eine effektive und unterhaltsame Formel, und als reine Fortsetzung hat mir Band drei gefallen - auch wenn ich mir gewünscht hätte, dass Brisson aus dem üblichen Muster ausbricht, denn ehrlich gesagt kann man nicht immer wieder bis zum Abwinken dieselben Charaktere in derselben „Art“ von Umgebung gegen dieselben Predatoren kämpfen sehen. Ich befürchte, dass die Serie ohne irgendeine Art von Abwechslung - sei es auf der Ebene der Charaktere, der Erzählung oder des Schauplatzes – anfängt langweilig zu werden.
Die Zeichnungen sind ebenfalls größtenteils in Ordnung, aber wie es heutzutage viel zu oft der Fall ist, wird der ursprüngliche Zeichner für die letzte Ausgabe ausgetauscht, und obwohl versucht wird, den ursprünglichen Stil zu reproduzieren, wirkt es irritierend.

Definitely the more flawed of the three issues currently on offer. There’s some weird name mis-identification with the survivors (unless two are both named Sen), and the coloring felt a bit weird (several moments where Paolo’s armor is colored like Theta’s in very distant moments, but otherwise he’s a dusky gray most of the time). Story was fine, continuing the examination of The Preserve and whether the Yautja are keeping people in stasis and for how long before hunting them. Thought the John Schaefer elements was fun and I vaguely remember him from Concrete Jungle (was he also in the novel or just the comics?). Curious if there will be much or a lot of lag time between this “ending” and wherever the series picks up next.

3.5, not a bad ending to the Brisson Theta series. The ending felt a bit rushed but Theta got her revenge. So after years and years of searching they get some closure on the human harvesting hunting story. What I liked was Brisson's writing on Theta becoming Aware she was older and not up to par anymore, she had not fought a Predator in a few years. It was a good realization when heroes usually never waiver. She comes up with a plan have her ending via poison and in a twist a fate, it works better than she imagined. I also liked that the ultimate predator could not really be defeated with wits or brawn, he was a serious Mofo. Cool tie-in to Dutch as well. Altogether this series was a good ride considering Marvel has the ropes now.

I really liked Theta in the first volume, but I stopped caring somewhere in the second one, because it just never feels like she wants anything meaningful. She got her revenge against the actual Predator that killed her family a long time ago, and then in the second one she's just... trying to kill more Predators? As individuals? So in this one she's allegedly trying to find out where the Predator cryofarms or home planet are, but because she doesn't actually do that or add anything to what we know about Predators, it just feels pointless, and frankly silly that she's even trying to do it by herself in an ancient old ship.

A decent ending to Brisson's Predator trilogy. Theta is back. She's wiped out every Predator she's ever found and now they are on the run. She hasn't seen one in 6 years. Time for a trap. I really liked how Brisson tied this into the original Dark Horse Predator comics. That was a great idea. I just wish he'd taken it further.

It's the end of the Theta trilogy...
It's all led up to this. There's a battle to end all battles. Theta is back to hunting the Predators (or being hunted?)
It's epic.
It's...repetitive(?)
It's definitely the farthest we've gone, in recent years, in search of the Predator homeworld and lore drops.

Decent enough artwork, but the story lacks any real substance, feeling like little more than one long fight with redshirts who nobody cares about getting offed panel after panel. The inclusion of a character from earlier comics also felt a little gratuitous, and really didn’t add anything to proceedings.

Theta was a rough character, a bad-ass, but still rough. She feels fully evolved in this. She finally grew into her strength, and instead of letting her rage control her, she uses it as a tool.
I was surprised by a character that I didn't expect in this. He's in several books and comics. Schaefer from Concerete Jungle and Cold War. That was awesome.

Finally got around to reading the closing act of Ed Brisson's Predator trilogy and it was a great way to close out this chapter and open up what could potentially come next. Brisson writes a fast-paced story and he re-introduces a fan-favourite character from the OG Dark Horse series. The artwork fits the story perfectly and I'm really hoping they allow him to continue this story.

Fun entry into the world of Predators. It establishes its world and characters well, so no precious familiarity of the comic books is needed. Good art and a balanced story that is both complete and leads the reader to wanting more.
February 19, 2025
Meh.
The whole thing with both the Alien and the Predator species coming up with the Bigger! Badder! version is getting really old really fast. Use the creatures you have, and give us a meaningful story, instead of just a bigger fight.
I've lost interest in the Predator series.

Great story. Couldn't put the comic down. Enjoyed the art style. Looking forward to the next volume. Definitely going to check out other comics from this author.

Great series - if you’re a fan, don’t miss them!
Great series that brings the same entertainment the Predator universe is known for. Lots of action, lots of stealth and an unhealthy dose of brutality.

3.5
Just like an 80s slasher, the Last in the title is sure to be a misnomer.
I would gladly read more, although the character of Theta has ceased to develop, so some more focus there wouldn't go amiss.

You get what you paid for, I guess. Not particularly imaginative, but decent enough story that rounds out the Theta trilogy. Or does it? (the ending suggests more to come)

Wow Life in this tired Franchise? Yes, good story hemmed some by the conventions of the woke publishers, but fun gun and run. Man is not just prey but Predator as well. Enjoy.
August 28, 2025
Simple but engaging story premise, beautifully drawn, maybe a bias review as predator fan but this ticked most the boxes from what I want out of a predator comic.
August 29, 2025
Decent action. I guess bringing back John Schaefer is a fine twist, but the only interesting thing about the character was his connection to Dutch.
September 17, 2025
Interesting characters but you really ought to read the previous Brisson stories before reading this; this is acting as a start to a conclusion that, as far as I can tell, has yet to happen

Review is for the three volume arc
Serviceable and entertaining, it fulfills the implicit promise of the title.

probably 2.5.
My least favourite of the three.
weakest art and story but caps off the trilogy. I feel with more issues this could have been better or unnecessary to do.
