Predator: Badlands
Marvel Comics has announced that the upcoming “Predator: Badlands” films will get a tie-in prequel comic which release November 12th. Ethan Sacks wrote and Elvin Ching illustrated the comic with director Dan Trachtenberg set to write the foreword.

Sacks says care was taken to make sure this prequel story ties into the film. In the one-shot, a young Yautja warrior is given a seemingly simple task by his father: retrieve a piece of technology from a derelict spaceship that crashed years ago. Inside, however, an ancient and deadly threat lies in wait. [Source: Coming Soon]
