Predator #4

The fourth and final issue of Dark Horse's 2010 Predator series closes out with a Raymond Swanland cover that pulses with raw, chaotic energy — a badly wounded Predator, drenched in luminous yellow-green blood, roars defiantly as it grapples with another Predator while a swarm of additional figures and targeting laser beams fill the smoke-choked battlefield around them. It's a stunning, painterly image that captures the series' tone of brutal, relentless conflict. John Arcudi and Javier Saltares bring their run to a head here, and this cover promises no easy resolution.
