Predator vs. Judge Dredd vs. Aliens #1
IDW Publishing, July 2016
Writer: John Layman
"Predator vs. Judge Dredd vs. Aliens" is a crossover comic book from American publisher IDW Publishing. As the title suggest, it features three extremely popular science fiction franchises. The central figures of each go head-to-head against each other in a story that is expected to favor flashy action over narrative depth. ("Predator" began its life as a motion picture starring action actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and features a monstrous alien which hunts humans. "Alien" is a series of motion pictures involving a terrifying "xenomorph" species with acid for blood, retractable jaws and a penchant for laying eggs inside its human victims.)
Do not envy the task of a writer who needs to craft a solid, coherent and believable inter-franchise crossover, especially if the characters exist on completely separate and incompatible universes or timelines.
