The Alien vs. Predator volume published by Dark Horse Comics in 2017 collects the four-issue miniseries written by Dan Abnett as part of the Life and Death crossover. It depicts a confrontation between Xenomorphs, Predators, and human survivors in the same narrative strand running through the related Aliens, Predator, and Prometheus miniseries published concurrently.
Abnett’s story continues the conflict established in the preceding volumes, with the AvP encounter providing the crossover element that ties the separate creature storylines together. The book is primarily aimed at existing fans of the Dark Horse Aliens and Predator comics rather than casual readers, and reading it as a standalone without the companion volumes limits its impact.
As with the other Life and Death entries, the book emphasizes action and creature horror over character development. It was among the last major licensed comics Dark Horse produced for the Aliens and Predator properties before Marvel Comics took over the licences.
