Predator: Black, White & Blood’s debut issue not only lived in Marvel’s distinctive anthology style, but also offered a truly unique trio of stories. Predator: Black, White & Blood #2 continues to approach that, but there are themes that connect all three stories. It is Yautja culture and how it drives hunting. One of the best things the Predator franchise has done in recent years (except for letting Dan Tratchenberg take away creative control) is to dig into what makes Jautza such a deadly killer.
To that end, part two of Joe Kelly and Alvaro Lopez’s “Bloodwood” gives the spotlight to a young predator called “Lucky Boy,” who was captured by a human injure and captured in 1850, and as he is portrayed in an attractive way, he can kill his actors. A girl who wanted to release him as a kind of twisted prize. The bond between Lucky Boy and Millie is surprisingly persuasive. Kelly shows them which one was hurt by Bradwood’s sadistic boss and has good reason for revenge. Lopez continues to pile up Gore, especially when a lucky boy ends up killing prisoners. That one sequence shows that Yautja is extremely dangerous even without weapons.
Yautja’s code of honor reappears in the story of Curtis Baxter and Acky Bright, “Kejime.” There is a woman named Shoko, who will be held in the distant future and will become the head of the branches of the Yakuza family. At first glance, this seems like a continuation of the twisted gladiator battles that took place in Predator: Killer of Killers. But slowly, her past is revealed, offering some truly tragic moments. Baxter knows how to stage a release for maximum effect, and he chose the right title. Kejime is Japanese because of a clear sense of good and evil. The Bright anime-inspired artwork suggests a future you’d like to see more, including cybernetic arms that allow you to carve buttery Yautja meat and a retractable katana.
Amazing
Finally, the “expedition” by Steve Fox and Philip Sevy is concerned about a group of people trying to find the Yeti. What’s truly surprising is that they find the Yeti, but also discover Yautja Hunter, who is on the tail of the Yeti that was said. Until now, predators have only hunted humans and strange xenomorphs, so it opens an entire can of worms. How long has this Yeti been on Earth? Are there any other mythical creatures? The “expedition” ends when it gets better and leaves you with more questions than the answer.
Predators: Black, White, and Blood continue their anthological approach by exploring different aspects of Yautia culture and how they remain constant throughout different periods. The more you learn about Yautja, the more stories you want to see in their world, and this anthology only fulfills that desire.
