 Predators Movie Adaptation TP |
 Predators: Preserve the Game - Not Final Art |
Written by Paul Tobin with art by Victor Drujiniu & Tony Kordos, Dark Horse’s Predators Movie Adaptation TP (MAY100022V, $6.99) presents the film in a unique way – from the perspective of Isabelle (played in the movie by Alice Braga), a "Black Ops" assassin whisked with a group of modern-day warriors to the predatory aliens’ jungle hunting grounds. Its 72 pages of full-color action as only Dark Horse can offer!
Also solicited in May is the Predators: Preserve the Game One-Shot (MAY100023D, $3.50). Scripted by David Lapham (Stray Bullets) with interior art by Allan Jefferson & David Rivera and a cover by Sean Phillips, this 40-page, full-color comic picks up where the movie leaves off, showing the aftermath of the Predators’ hunt and the desperation of the attack’s few survivors.
Since the first film appeared in 1987,Predator has been one of Hollywood’s hottest properties, and thanks to FOX’s Alien vs. Predator films and the upcoming Predators movie, the diehard franchise is experiencing renewed popularity with consumers. As anticipation grows for the new film’s release, your store can start building your “traps” to ensnare moviegoers both before and after July 9 with Dark Horse’s wide selection of Predator products. To see why you should be as excited about this movie as your customers are, check out the official trailer below.
Dark Horse set the entertainment industry on its ear with its comics expansion of the Predator mythos, a comics series so true to the spirit of the original 20th Century Fox film blockbuster that concepts from the first Predator comics series were incorporated into the Predator screen universe. Collecting many of these tales are the Predator Omnibus TP Volumes 1-4 (APR070018V / OCT070044V / FEB080081V / JUN080072V). In each volume, cinema’s most popular alien trophy hunters are back to prove themselves worthy to the rest of their race and hunt their favorite game – humans! Then, two of the Silver Screen’s most frightening creatures collide in Aliens vs. Predator Omnibus Volume 2 TP (JUN070037V).
Fans of the intergalactic race of hunters will be able to score some great beach reading as the characters get the prose treatment in Dark Horse’s Predator: Forever Midnight Novel (NOV050034V). Written by John Shirley, the 250-page science fiction tale takes place in the year 2117 A.D. Humanity has seized the stars, using reverse-engineered alien technology to explore the far reaches of space. For a hundred years, the sadistic extraterrestrial Predators have been a dim memory. For a hundred years, humans have been safe. All that ends now.
In China, the art of carving and engraving "chops," a device used to imprint a personal seal of identity, dates back over 3,000 years. Dark Horse has taken this ancient art into the distant future with the creation of Alien vs. Predator (AvP) Chops. Designed by Curt Chiarelli, the AvP Predator Chop Figure (FEB050083U) stands 5.5"-tall, features a stone texture finish, and has unique symbols – based on the hieroglyphics seen in the film – molded into the bottom.
With Fox’s Predators film on the horizon, demand for related merchandise is monstrously strong with consumers, making now the perfect time to line your shelves with Dark Horse’s Predator products to keep those ravenous fans coming back for more!
