Far better than I remembered (not remember at all why I hated this one first time I've read it) Galgo is an awesome mix between a badass anti-hero "Ash Williams style" and Eli Wallach's Tuco from "The Good The Bad and The Ugly", while the Engineer-hunting "Achab" is one of best Predator ever.
Top volume of the miniseries for me and the very good artworks had a great "Klaus-Janson" vibe that I really loved a lot.

Predators: Fire and Stone expands the extant over-arc and grows the backstory of our not so lovable dickhead anti-hero with the heart of not so much gold, Galgo. Believable - yes. Likable - not really. Basically, reducing to a demented/psychopathic Han Solo with a tenth of the charm, he inevitably meets up with the titular Predator who drags him back to LV-223 to get revenge on The Engineer
Our revanchist tale spews off the hoofs with the shuddering of a rocket array and roars back where whence they came. A neat, yet little vague backstory for our Predator friend spools off just before the carnage begins. Ship lands, reconnections are made and then the: “Thrilla in LV-223-a begins!”
Representing the Challengers: Predator/Galgo in this corner! Vs. The current Heavy-Weight Chamption: Giant Engineer in the opposite corner! Fight!
Total back and forth happens all across the alien landscape and the conclusion ends in a satisfactory fashion.
No complaints here. Good shit.

Spinning out of Aliens vs. Predator: Fire and Stone, Galgo gets forced into helping a Predator take down an Engineer. Chris Mooneyham's art reminded me of Walt Simonson mixed in with a rougher Mark Texiera.
These Fire and Stone books were hit and miss, with Prometheus being the best written and drawn.

WHile I heartily applaud Dark Hose for carrying the Alien/Predator/Prometheus torch so proudly, this ambitious, multi-mini-series arc somehow just missed the mark. (While this final volume is my favorite of the quartet, this review will broadly cover all 4 volumes.)
The first misstep (which is not an issue in the trade collections, fortunately) was that they released these mini-series concurrently, rather than consecutively (IE All four "ISsue 1"'s came out the same month, IIRC), depsite the fact that there is an apparent chronlogical reading order.
I thought that these titles were good, and the writing realatively solid, but it certainly could have been much more tightly entwined to tell a more cohesive story. (For instance, the "Aliens" title, listed as #2 in the quartet, is clearly a prequel, even if it ties in to the "Prometheus".)
The art was also a bit disjointed; due to amount of artwork to be done (and the aformentioned release schedule), each volume has a different set of artists, and not all of them necessarily, IMO, feel suited to the title they worked on.. [YMMV, of course, as art is subjective.]
That said, I wold give the series an overall 3.5 stars (grudingly rounded up to 4.)

A pretty fun Predator story and one that I've been meaning to read for years. Glad I finally did. Being that this was apart of a Dark Horse Alien/Predator reboot event, I had to read a few other books first before this one: Aliens: Fire and Stone, Prometheus: Fire and Stone and then with AVP: Fire and Stone, I read simultaneously with this one, since chronologically, there's sort of a fork in the road/story.
So AVP issue one, then Predator issue one, AVP 2, Predator 2, etc.
The art was very inconsistent in this one, but I thought the story was quite more fun than the first few in this event series. Not necessarily a buddy cop adventure, but the Predator ends up putting cuffs on this guy so he can help him find one of those big Engineer dudes from Prometheus to hunt down. There's some humor and a cool fight scene.
The story isn't finished yet! I have Prometheus: Fire and Stone -- Omega next and possibly somewhere down the line, I'll check out the Fire and Stone sequel, Life and Death.

This was my personal favorite of the Fire and Stone series. Think about the Prometeus movie, and then think about the Predator. What would a Predator find most interesting? Hunting an Engineer! That's what brings the Predators into the story. They show up to hunt the TRUE ultimate game, the Engineer. It's as cool as it sounds, and then we get to the final volume in Fire and Stone, Aliens Vs. Predator.

That was.....nice. Predator has always been the weakest. But I like how this brings in the whole Fire and Stone plot.

The relationship between Galgo and Ahab is the highlight of this story arc.
August 25, 2024
Las ilustraciones son buenas y el guión, aunque flojo, nos deja una relación inusualmente entretenida entre los protagonistas, un superviviente humano al que no sabes si quieres ver morir por cabrón, y un Predator que le tiene preso al que le coges simpatía por puro síndrome de Estocolmo. No me había planteado hasta ahora que se puede escribir una historia en la que quieres que los protagonistas vivan para saber qué más les va a ocurrir, pero pensando en que sus muertes serían totalmente merecidas.

I feel like I should have read something before this 🤔 Definitely not the first in the series
EDIT.
So yeah this definitely is not the first in the series (it's 4th). I had somehow gotten the order mixed on my shelves and was too lazy to make sure this was the first one when I started *facepalm*

I loved Ahab! It was hilarious with the leash. I like that this gives insight on how the predators feel about the engineers. They know as much as we do, but predator aren't seeking the engineer for answers to their existience, they seek them out to prove themselves greater. Ahab kept coming across information on the engineers, making him want to hunt them. I like this a lot.

A decent space-romp with the Predator taking on the Engineers from Prometheus with some great John Buscema-esque artwork by Christopher Mooneyham. It's not the best series but it's certainly not the worst. If you're a Predator fan you'll want to read this.

Tough guys, both alien and human, are the same no matter what world they are on. Fun read.

Very solid turn. Bit of a buddy comedy vibe to it. Quite enjoyable.

Horrible, arruina todo lo construido en Prometheus y Aliens. el nivel de dibujo, color y tinta es mediocre.

Bien, correcto. Universo Predator. Te lo pasas bien cuando lo lees y luego lo olvidas.

This crossover event joins “anything starring Machiko” as basically the most essential AVP comics in my opinion. This had a very cinematic scope that is exactly what you are probably looking for out of this franchise but is often actually lacking in other comics. And I also love how interconnected everything is but also that you could read any one of these individual series and still get a complete story and not feel like you were missing anything.
Remember the asshole military guy who abandoned everyone in Prometheus: Fire and Stone? Well, in Alien vs. Predator: Fire and Stone he basically did that again by escaping with a detachable part of the ship everyone was escaping in. I guess he’s got one move and he’s gonna use it. Anyway, this arc happens basically concurrently with Alien vs. Predator: Fire and Stone, and stars him and everyone on his Abandon Everyone 2: The Re-Abandoning ship. Guess what one of the first things the protagonist does is? If you guessed literally anything other than “ditches somebody,”] awww, you’re doing great, sweetie.
After all that, the Predator still ends up catching Abandony McBetrayerson with his net gun, and after hurling threats about how if the Predator just lets him out of the net he’ll kick his ass, the Predator calls his bluff and he backs down and pisses his pants like a little bitch. Sadly instead of taking jerkface’s skull/spine as a trophy, the Predator reveals he knows the humans encountered an Engineer and he wants to hunt it.
The Predator intimidates him into going back to LV-223, and literally drags him around on a leash, and then at the halfway point of the arc the abandoned crew (which, again, were basically all the non-assholes, including lesbians!) reenters the story!
The concluding issue is advertised as Predator vs. Engineer, and it delivers. This fight kicks serious ass. I honestly don’t care nearly as much about the human protagonist’s redemption arc as the story clearly wants me to, but the Predator vs. Engineer stuff is more than enough to carry this story. It is all kinds of awesome.

Punch Part II: the Punchening.
So my major problem with Alien vs. Predator: Fire and Stone was that there wasn't much story, it was all action among people that I didn't care about. Predator: Fire and Stone has one major character that I don't care about at all, and one that I do but had some problems identifying with.
Galgo is the one I don't care about, which is a problem because the other character is a predator and so never speaks any English. Galgo is the viewpoint through which we can interpret the predators actions, the one who talks about what's going on, the voice of the story. He's also a mass-murdering thug who deserves far more than the multiple times he almost died at the hands of the predator, and there's no amount of anti-hero redemption that will work. He not only condemned much of the crew to death on LV-223, he deliberately murdered part of the crew to take the ship and then murdered some of the mutineers to preserve his own life. Sorry, he's irredeemable.
The predator is a more interesting character from the little we learn about him. He's been hunting for over a century, he's chased the most powerful prey around, and now he's going for the ultimate prey--if the aliens are the most thrilling hunt for most predators, how much more thrilling to hunt an engineer, the creators of the aliens?
There's a lot of questions about the predators--where do they get their technology? If they have space travel and plasma weaponry and cloaking, how come their culture is focused around hunting animals and stabbing them in the face? Are there predator scientists doing research on crop yields out there somewhere among the stars? So how much more true is that of the engineers, who created the aliens and who have the ability to terraform worlds on a far faster and far more complete timescale than the humans? I appreciate the old predator's quest to bag the ultimate game, as it were, but he only speaks the predator language throughout the book, so it's harder to really understand. We just have his actions and Galgo's continual narration of what's going on.
I think I would have liked this better if the previous book hadn't also been full of hunting people down and punching them, but the predator didn't really punch it up that much for me.

Predator: Fire and Stone by Joshua Williamson and Christopher Mooneyham, is part of an ongoing series named Fire and Stone that encompasses the Alien, Predator, and Prometheus franchises that Dark Horse has set up in their comic universe. I didn't know that was case when I picked this up and thought it was just a standalone story. There is a brief summary at the beginning of previous events that occurred in the story but I will look at this as someone who did not pick up those other books and just wanted to read a cool Predator book.
Anyway, the story follows a man named Galgo as he is reluctantly brought back to the planet LV-223 which filled with Xenomorphs and feral creatures by a Predator named Ahab so he can help guide him to the next target of his hunt, an Engineer.
The story is pretty simple and is a bit short but unlike with the Mortal Kombat comic, I feel that this comic does it much better. With Mortal Kombat, it felt like they tried to stuff as much as they could into what little space they had while Predator: Fire and Stone is filled with action and character development which is something I would rather have in a book. I'm not looking for anything groundbreaking in a Predator strory, just something enjoyable which is what I feel that I got here.
At first, the two leads end up starting as enemies but over the course of the four issues, they start to bond a little and become comrades in arms. Galgo starts off as a selfish prick and who is willing to airlock one of his crew mates in order to kill Ahab but towards the end, he sacrifices his one chance to escape the planet and risks his life to save the Predator from dying at the Engineers hands. Galgo is still a bit of a jerk but its nice to see someone redeemable go through a character evolution like this. Since I never read any of the previous books, I don't really know what the full extent of his character's journey is but maybe I'll pick them up at some point just to see now. Ahab on the other hand, he is just simply awesome. A seasoned warrior covered with scars, wearing the trophies of his previous kills, and always looking for his next challenge. This is how you make a Predator. Not much to say otherwise about him. The human/Predator team up is something that isn't really all that new to the franchise since we've kinda seen it happen a few times in some of the films but this is the first time that I've seen it done well. I would love to see the concept done right like this again if they ever make a new Predator movie.
As much as I enjoyed the characters and the story of the is book, I'll admit that the art just wasn't the best fit. It comes off and looks a bit scratchy at some points but as the more I read on, it started to grow on me. Thankfully it didn't ruin the way the characters emoted or the fight scenes for me but I'm sure there are others who may or may not disagree with me on that point.
VERDICT
Predator: Fire and Stone is a short and simple story with so-so art, good characters, great homage to the Predator franchise, and awesome fight scenes. Not perfect by any means but still a fun journey that will make you want to turn to the next page in anticipation and excitement.
FINAL SCORE: 7 out of 10

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
In an effort to fill the massive gap left behind when Marvel reclaimed the Star Wars franchise, Dark Horse began pushing the Alien/Predator/Prometheus shared universe.
When I first heard the announcement and saw the connected artwork, I was both intrigued and excited. When I finally got around to reading this trade, I realized nothing had changed from the old Dark Horse Alien Vs. Predator comics. Ok, wait, there is one difference... now they have the Engineers from Prometheus running around, too.
Nothing new. It was a fun book to read, but the script had one of my pet peeves when it comes to the Alien Mythos- the main characters were referring to the Alien as a Xenomorph. I hate that. Yes, they do call the alien a Xenomorph in Aliens, but that is only because there is no true name for the creature. Xenomorph essentially means "creature of Unknown Biology". I hate when people refer to the alien like that. Not only that, but they were calling the Predator a Predator and the Engineer and Engineer!
I hate when the people classify each of the creatures like that. Am I just crazy? Don't answer that.

Out all every single Alien/Predator/Prometheus comic I've ever read(and I've read all of them), this one stands out as my favourite.
I get it the Universe sucks and everything is trying to kill you, but is it that hard to put on some lighthearted, charming or funny moments between characters?
I see everyone hates Galgo, but he and Ahab are easily my favourite duo characters of the series, a rogueish-selfish asshole making his way with his Predator friend in his tropical alien hellscape, being hunted and hunting a creature akin to a demigod.
By the way the way the series portrays the Engineer, as this mysterious Titanic force is the sole reason I finished this whole series.
And easily the worst part of the entire series was that dumb android and his the aliens which were just zerg at that point, I can tell whoever wrote him had 100 IQ.
But yeah the scenes with Galgo, Ahab sharing a few lighthearted moments and the scene where they find and fight the Engineer is and will be the only scene I will remember from this series

This series follows
Alien vs. Predator: Fire and Stone
and occurs after the renegade humans split off with a stowaway Predator on board. Then it wants to go hunt one of the Engineers back on the planet. The art is worse than the Prometheus series, but better than the Alien vs. Predator series, and it's not quite as confused either. 2 stars for the guy campfire-bonding with the Predator. Continues into
Prometheus: Fire and Stone Omega
.

I think I enjoyed this one the most of the series because I felt like a lot of story lines that had been started previously were more able to continue. SPOILER ALERT: I love that our tough ladies in the first one were spotted again in this one! I wondered what had happened to them! I really enjoyed being introduced to Predator as well. I grew up on the Alien movies but honestly, the only Predator ones I've seen were Alien vs. Predator. This introduction to Predator certainly makes me far more interested in looking more into those stories. Another amazing book in this series and can't wait for the next!

This is the 4th in the 4 part series of Fire and Stone, and I read it first. For that reason, there was some distortion and catching up for me when I read it. I found this to be somewhat interesting, but I also feel some overload with the variety of characters and action going on. I would personally enjoy a more subtle book, but I understand that there is a big demand for action and brashness, rather then the "boredom" of mood and setting. I suspect that much of what I am complaining about comes from mashing three themes (Prometheus, Aliens, and Predator) together.

Why couldn't this have come after Prometheus and Alien instead of AvP? The story stumbles a bit in the first issue because of having to deal with leftover stuff from AvP, but afterwords with the beginning of issue two I was 100% on board. What a great and simple motivation to involve the predator. I also absolutely loved the Galgo/Ahab buddy cop dynamic. I would be pleased as punch if that kept that team-up going. All in all, I really liked this one and would have rated it higher if it weren't for the first issue.
April 21, 2015
I was the least excited to read this one because I am the least familiar with the Predator world, but I think the authors did an excellent job intersecting the plot of this title with all of the other "Fire and Stone" titles by Dark Horse. I will say that I liked the art style in this title the least, but overall it propelled the plot of the other titles forward and it got me interested in Predator beyond the comics which I think is a success.

The Predators wander the galaxy looking for a challenge and in Prometheus, Riddley Scott created a new race of badasses in the Engineers.
It only makes sense to have the two go at it.
Unfortunately, there is a group of humans stuck in the middle of this.
On the bright side, it's the bunch of weaselly mercs from the 'Aliens: fire and stone' mini-series, so they deserve to get slapped around.
Fun bit of macho sci-fi. One of the better of the 'Fire and Stone' comics.

I thought the artwork is so so, and I didn't find it quite interesting enough. But if you've ever wanted to see an engineer fight a predator you'll like it. The cover to issue 4 is a cool homage to the cover of issue 1 of the original DH AVP miniseries.

This is not a review, merely a statement. The Fire and Stone series ... all four books has re-energized my love for the Aliens/Predator franchise. I love that they pulled Prometheus into the fold. It is a great story with fresh ideas all around.
