Meet Cross: outlaw, freelance avenger, and, when the situation calls for it, professional killer. He's just the kind of person the Predators might take an interest in -- which is why the government's Predator Task Force wants him! Next month Predator: Race War debuts as a four-issue color miniseries. Story by novelist Andrew Vachss (Hard Looks), adapted by Randy Stradley (Aliens vs. Predator) and artists Jordan Raskin and John Beatty (Punisher). Also: Jo Duffy and Maya Sakamoto's Nestrobber preview concludes, and the heroine of Gary Davis' "Paleolove" seeks a love potion from Mudwike, the dwarf. Painted cover by Ray Lago (Hellraiser).
