This post relates to: Predators
I thought the first Aliens vs Predator movie was okay. I saw the trailer for the second a few weeks ago. Looks better than the first. Good. Including an exclusive comic seems like a good idea for this set. A lot of the hardcore fans may not even be aware that the comics exist. More readers means more future comics. I'm sure a lot of fans of the comics will be a little bothered that the only way to get the limited comic is by buying this massive dvd set. Fifteen discs is a lot. I can only imagine the price tag. Limited to 10,000 and only at Best Buy could mean high prices on ebay. I think this is cool but I'm glad I'm not a huge fan or I might be a little upset over the comic not being readily available.
Dark Horse Comics is proud to announce the limited release of Alien vs. Predator: Sand Trap. This exciting, stand-alone story was written and illustrated exclusively for Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment for inclusion in the limited edition AVP Ultimate Showdown Collectors Set.
An unfortunate desert platoon gets more war than they bargained for when they unwittingly end up in the middle of a battle where the warriors are not human. The soldiers soon discover that this chaotic region has proven to be an ideal hunting ground for the Predators’ latest conquest, and even Blackwater was no match for the forces unleashed in the thrill of the game. Will the new squad fare any better than the band of brothers before them? In space, nobody can hear you scream. On Earth, it won’t matter.
In addition to AVP: Sand Trap, the AVP Ultimate Showdown Collectors Set will include every film from the Alien and Predator franchises in a two-disc version (fifteen discs total), exclusive collectible Alien and Predator figurines, and two tickets to see Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (in theaters 12/25/07). The AVP Ultimate Showdown Collectors Set is limited to 10,000 pieces for worldwide distribution. It will be available in the U.S. on November 27, 2007, only at Best Buy. AVP: Sand Trap will not be offered for individual sale or through other retail outlets.
