Reviews

[Chad · Rating 2 out of 5]

Aliens get loose on a transport ship when a Predator also arrives. Humans are stuck in the middle. The standard plot of any AvP story.

[Ill D · Rating 2 out of 5]

Crossovers are a notoriously notorious grab bag of hit & miss and our derrière titled adventure is no exception.

This Aliens Vs. Predator featurette while the sharing the name of a pirate’s object of affection, has disappointingly little to do with it. In fact, there nothing distinctly pirate-ish about this other than an interstellar boarding by our titular Predators. Henceforth, nothing super exciting happens and the ending is just as unfulfilling.

This short story was originally serialized in Previews before being collected as a one-shot. It’s… fine, I guess? Not really anything to write home about.
