Alien vs. Predator: Fire and Stone #3

Part three of four in Dark Horse's 2014 crossover event, this issue delivers a cover by E. M. Gist that puts you right in the thick of it: a hulking, battle-scarred Predator dominates the foreground, fist raised and jaws open wide, its body streaked with vivid neon-green acid, while a sleek Xenomorph lurks close behind. The tension between these two apex hunters practically radiates off the page, making the penultimate chapter feel genuinely urgent. With Christopher Sebela writing and Ariel Olivetti handling both art and color duties on the interior, Fire and Stone continues to be one of the more striking AVP stories Dark Horse put out.
