Welcome to Two-Headed Nerd Episode #674 where our sentient Cosmic Longbox has us discussing classic comic back issue reviews based on a theme! With a new and very well-reviewed Predator movie hitting Hulu the Cosmic long box decided we should take a look at the ugly motherfucker’s tenure in comics. Almost immediately after the first Predator’s box office success, Dark Horse comics would scoop up the comic license and the hunt was no longer just focused on Schwarzenegger and Danny Glover. It wouldn’t be long before the Predator would take on the likes of Batman, the Terminator, and even Archie It all started with Predator #1 at Dark Horse in 1989 which led to Predator #1 at Marvel which hit stands this week. We cover both and more using our "Buy It," "Skim It," or "Leave It" to eight classic back issue comics featuring the Predator!
