When it comes to the Alien and Predator properties, crossovers are nothing new. The titular titans have faced off against everyone from Superman to Archie, leaving an assortment of separated spines and open chest cavities in their wake. With that in mind, John Layman and Chris Mooneyham turn the malleable monsters towards Mega-City One and its barrel-chested lawman, Judge Dredd. The resulting free-for-all proves to be an effortless, if by the numbers, debut, and one sure to appease fans of all the included properties.
With an ain’t-broke-don’t-fix-it approach to storytelling, Layman’s script wastes no time in getting this collision course up and running. In quick succession he introduces all three of the soon-to-be combatants (though the Xenomorph is as of yet a newly resurrected husk), utilizing the machinations of the diabolical Doc Reinstot and his mutated manimals as a means of tying things together. There’s no deep exploration of shared history – though the Predator carries a Xenomorph skull, there’s no mention of Dredd’s previous shared history with the brood. Rather, the debut operates in as clear cut a manner as possible, efficiently presenting the players, the motivations and the conflict.
