Published in 1990, Aliens vs. Predator #1 took the comics industry by storm, becoming the largest selling title to date from an “independent” comics publisher. The series inspired computer games, toys, two major motion pictures, and a parade of likeminded crossovers. AvP showed that comics could become an integral part of a media property’s development and canon.

Now Dark Horse Comics presents, “Aliens vs. Predator One for One”. The inhabitants of the colony planet Ryushi are peaceful ranchers – men and women who lead simple lives. But their lives are tragically shattered as they become part of a “coming of age” ceremony for that race of deadly alien hunters – the Predators. However, the Predators’ prey are not the human inhabitants of Ryushi, but rather something far more dangerous – Aliens!

Story/Spoilers:
A bizarre pod lands on the planet of Ryushi, nearby the rhynth ranching colony of Prosperity Wells, that is currently expecting the arrival of the Lector for livestock shipment. As the seeding pod begins laying Eggs, it is detected by the ranch’s long-range scanners, and replacement administrator to Hiroki Shimura, Machiko Noguchi, is notified. Machiko shares a tumultuous relationship with the personnel of the ranch, and is forced to pacify a group of workers complaining to Shimura in regards to a higher pay cut. As the Lector enters Ryushi’s orbit, a Yautja hunting party’s shuttle lands within Prosperity Well’s horizon, the group led by the Leader Broken Tusk. By nightfall, workers Ackland and Jame Roth discover dead Facehuggers and a herd of dazed rhynth. Ackland tells her to give the Facehuggers to colony doctor Kesar Revna, but to lie that they had located them in Iwa Gorge to avoid a quarantine. A party is held in the town for the arrival of the Lector and their first rhynth export shipment to Earth, and Machiko surprises the still-disgruntled ranchers with the news of their receiving a larger cut. Meanwhile, Dr. Revna, intrigued with the Facehugger specimens’ he has received, travels to Iwa Gorge to retrieve more. However, he encounters the Predator’s shuttle and is discovered by the hunters, attempting to escape on his hoverbike. However, he loses control and crashes into Broken Tusk and incapacitating him, before driving into the shuttle, causing it to explode. The party, now without a leader or a means to leave the planet, declare war on their apparent enemy. While reading Revna’s report, Machiko is surprised by pilot of the Lector, Scott and subjected to his amorous advances, to which she briskly rejects by throwing him against a wall. Apologizing to Machiko for Scott’s behavior, co-pilot Tom drives Scott back to the Lector, just in time to be captured by a horde of Xenomorphs that had managed to establish a hive, alongside a Queen, within the Lector…
