One of the many highlights of this series has been the variety of styles in each story. There is a nice mix of action, story, and tension. I didn’t think I could be surprised at this stage. I’m glad I was wrong. First things first, the artwork in Predator: Fire and Stone #2 is fantastic. Christopher Mooneyham did an exceptional job capturing the essence of the Predator. If a gritty world could ever be described as gorgeous, this is it.

Badass. That’s how we start Predator: Fire and Stone #2. A pair of aliens, who might be a long lost relative of Goro from Mortal Kombat are on the run from a Predator. They make the mistake of calling out for the Predator after discovering a fellow warrior dead. After disposing of his foes, the Predator stumbles upon a wall drawing pointing to LV-223. The hunt for the Engineers begins. Flipping back to current events, Galgo finds himself strung up by the Predator. Galgo is a resourceful fellow, and manages to save his own skin because he knows what the creature wants: to find his way to LV-223. Suffice to say, they both end up going to back the planet despite Galgo’s flat out objection to the idea. It gets messier after the odd couple lands, but I will not ruin it.

SUMMARY

I felt this was an enjoyable issue. The Predator and Galgo were the only two characters for the entirety of the issue and it worked well. I like where they are going with the story, let’s just hope it all ties up well.
