I like the ideas enough to read through them, and applied my imagination to what they could have been, but they aren't really fantastic on their own. Compared to other less mainstream books of the day, the books are okay. The books also had an inconsistent tone and pacing. I appreciated Stradley's original stories, though I felt they suffered badly from inconsistent and mediocre illustration, mostly a consequence of inconsistent pencillers and inkers.

But the world he created, of Predators seeding planets with Xenomorphs to fight them, continued on. His original protagonist wasn't picked up by anyone else. In his wake, a new franchise was launched, eventually spawning two films, novels, and a continuing comic series. Stradley left the comic to other writers and artists. In her first stories, she fights alongside the Predators, gains their trust, is welcomed into their tribe, and later leaves to fight against them when they begin hunting and killing human colonial marines.Īll of these stories were published in the early nineties. Stradley's continuation of his story, in a world that he first created, followed the life of a woman who came in contact by accident with Predator (called "Hunters" in these books) hunting grounds, where they were stalking Xenomorphs that they had seeded on the world expressly for that purpose. That first story, called simply Aliens vs Predator, was the first crossover of the two franchises, and the best selling independent comic of its day.
