So, what did we read and review? It was a collection of a few miniseries written by Mark Verheiden. It also included an adaptation of Predator 2. I don't know if it's still in print as Dark Horse has lost the license to Predator, but I'm pretty sure you can find a cheap copy somewhere. It's called:
