Of course, since Predator is very famous for a certain colour of blood that it bleeds, that gives this comic the licence to have black, white, red AND green colouring!

This series is an anthology, leading with a multi-part story set in Australia. There's also a completely nutso story about a woad-covered Celt taking on a Predator that weirdly ends up going very The Last Knight.

The third story, a third of which is under the cut, involves the rather genius idea of Predator going to a gun show.

Now, of the holy trinity - Alien, Terminator and Predator - I must confess that the last of the three is my favourite, even though it is objectively the least good. But even I, a moderate Predator fan, have to roll my eyes whenever someone tries to paint it as any sort of 'honourable'...

On the surface, Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion is a story about Miles Morales returning to a very different Ultimate Universe to rescue his sister. Looking at how the story plays out, it's a promotional showcase for the various Ultimate comic titles, with Miles visiting each one in turn in the hopes of getting a reader to try out a new title. See how cool Spider-Man is in issue 1, check out Wakanda in issue 2, look at these funky X-Men is issue 3...

What's most interesting to me though, is that issue 2 is where we get a little more insight into what's up with 6160 Hank Pym. We get Killmonger saying:




and we also get Hank monologuing over "What do we do for the people we love?"

There's the effects of that previous issue's well-teased end.

There's Thor after the fact as was solicited -

" .. [meeting] the Serpent who wore his own face and held his own hammer. "

It's a little more bitter than their meeting in #17. )

"David Sexton: gave Not so long ago, there was a magic based mini-series (which I won't name) that climaxed in a battle between a good wizard and an evil wizard. After the evil wizard head-butted the good wizard, it cast a spell on some innocent bystanders by pointing its evil wizard finger at them and uttering that most famous of magical phrases, 'Bang!' Reading that sequence kind of crystallized some of the things I had been thinking about regarding magic in comics. Magic is not a gun. It should look and feel different from technology or from a mutant power. Magic should be depicted in an imaginative manner. Magic only exists in our shared imaginations, so a writer needs to provide that kind of convincing detail in order for the reader to 'believe' in what they're reading...The rules have gotten rather mushy, but 'The Magic Gun Syndrome' can be stopped. If a character or a creature manipulates magic in a new and different way, fantastic, but the reader needs to understand how. The magic has to make sense. Not rational sense, but it should have what Jung referred to as 'Mythopoeic' meaning."

As a warning, "The Slavers" (specifically the later issues) deals with sexual slavery. To Ennis' credit it's taken very seriously but it's still raw reading.
