Plot
The Story takes place in the futuristic Aliens vs. Predator universe, where Earth has been overrun by Aliens, and the social elite have taken refuge in gigantic skyliners. Caryn Delacroix is the protagonist, with an unclear past regarding both the Aliens and Predators throughout most of the comic. An artificial intelligence serves as the primary antagonist, while the Xenomorphs and the Predator are many times in cooperation with Delacroix and her companions for parts of the series, in particular a Predator called "Big Mama".
Crossovers
Apart from the obvious Aliens/Predator universe crossover, Claremont also made references to his previous short comic Renegade.[1]
- Several notable comic book characters also make cameos as Predator trophies. These are Magneto, Wolverine, Batman and Cyclops.
