A quarterfinalist in the 2012 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Competition, Jordan has been published in the occasional magazine and anthology, and wrote the sold-out Noir Revue for the Spiegeltent in the Old Parliament House rose gardens for Canberra's Centenary. In a previous life he ran a boutique hotel for writers and artists. He hopes that in at least one other past life he was a dinosaur.
Se molesta de más en querer profundizar en unos personajes que no dejan de ser mera excusa y carnaza para una nueva cacería comiquera Yautja, y no hace tan interesante como debería el set up de ese torneo de lucha libre ilegal con los luchadores más brutales (algunos incluso siendo prácticamente cyborgs por situar la historia en un futuro más allá de la película THE PREDATOR). La presencia del Predator es eso, una presencia pero mínima e incluso anecdótica para hablar de emular suspense de la franquicia o prometer algo en esta cabecera.
art was fine, I think the colours took away from them. story was very basic. group of fighters on an island grt attacked by a predator. however unlike predator stories, we didn't love in the first genre/stoey long enough. it should be that stoey for a portion and then a predator is thrown in.
the dialogue was bad. so much exposition and poorly executed. the characters weren't fun or interesting. the jokes didn't land either. avoid.
And just like most series with the Predator title this is off to a great start, its not often a comic book fully engages me after just one issue usually takes about three but this one does it, One of our Yutia (however it's spelled) has his heat vision focused on a off the grid illegal bloodsport tournament.
Extremely fun start to a new story. The protagonist was humanized is a good way, makes you want to see him survive till the end. This is a fun concept for a Predator to enter and shakes up the established rules. Excited to see where it goes.
