Aliens vs. Predator

A five-issue miniseries from Dark Horse that launched in 1990, Aliens vs. Predator was the first official crossover between the two iconic movie monsters, pitting the xenomorphs' relentless hive instinct against the Yautja's ritualistic hunt. Written and drawn by a talented team of comics veterans, it established the core dynamic of their rivalry—the Predators stalking Aliens as the ultimate prey—and set the template for countless stories to come. This series matters because it proved these two franchises could clash in a way that felt natural and thrilling, birthing a shared mythology that remains a cornerstone of Dark Horse's horror-sci-fi legacy.
