Publisher Description.  Predator: Badlands, the new entry in the Predator film franchise, arrives in theaters on November 7.  That same week, Marvel Comics will publish Predator: Badlands #1, a tie-in comic by writer Ethan Sacks and artist Elvin Ching.  Serving as the official prelude to the highly anticipated film, the one-shot is being produced in close collaboration with director Dan Trachtenberg, who will also write a foreword for the issue. Today, fans can check out never-before-seen interior artwork as well as all three of the issue’s covers.

Predator: Badlands, which stars Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, is set in the future on a remote planet, where Dek, a young Predator outcast from his clan, finds an unlikely ally in Thia and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary.  Taking place shortly before these events, the Predator: Badlands comic explores the film’s new approach to Predator franchise storytelling, introducing readers to Dek and other key characters. 

THE HUNT BEGINS.
In the one-shot, a young Yautja warrior named Dek is given a seemingly simple task by his father: retrieve a piece of technology from a derelict spaceship that crashed years ago.  Inside, however, an ancient and deadly threat lies in wait.
