Cool to go back to Nakai. This time getting his grandfather's history with the mighty Predator race. While it didn't add much to the lore was still a decent read.

[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 first 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.
Upon seeing that this was a follow-up to Big Game, I groaned because I didn't really like that one and I really didn't like the art.
Buuuut, this is a different writer/artist, and I actually liked it quite a bit.
We're shown what Enoch has been up to since his encounter with a Predator, which is mostly that he's been honorably discharged and has frequent nightmares about those events. But then his grandfather shows him a spear tip that looks like the one he saw, and tells the story of his own father's encounter with a Predator (and shitty white folks). It felt like an exciting childhood story time (with really graphic content) and this was probably the best art in the omnibus so far.
Really hope this indicates a turning point from the go-tos for this series (namely, the "macho white military broski spouting sexist one-liners" parts, but also the not-so-great art).
This is one that I wish could have been longer, instead of the ones like Bloody Sands of Time.

A short story that follows a little more from the character Enoch Nakai, from Predator Big Game.
This story is mostly told from his grandfathers perspective as he tells Enoch a story about his great grandfather’s encounter with a predator.
I really enjoyed that it follows up with Enoch. It has good art and a cool atmosphere. We follow native Americans and Enoch’s great grand father which it’s mentioned in the story, takes place 75 years prior to the events of Predator Big Game.
This was a dark horse presents story, and is a 2 part short story, but is the length of a standard issue.
I really enjoyed this short story, as I think it’s a great companion piece to read after reading big game.
How I read the story: Predator the original years omnibus Vol 1.
Best way to read as of 11/16/25: Predator the original years omnibus vol 1.

Decent little follow-up for the Enoch Character seen in the Big Game story. Was mostly enjoyable but the payoff at the ending was a little bit of a letdown. Also very little Predator artwork. This feels like it could've been another issue longer.
3.5 stars.

Short. Most of book is a back story about lead character's great grand father's run in with a Predator. Very little Predator action, but the story of the Native American's treatment shows that not all predators come from outer space.
