Hey, does anyone read predator comics? if you do, have you seen a cover by a man named John O'Dell? If you have, which issue(s) was/were they?

Bro, I looked it up but I didn't find any cover artist by the name of John O'Dell.

I've read almost all the mini-series. Most are OK to read because they can be had for so damn cheap. I don't remember any being outright stinkers.

Must reads:

Batman Vs Predator (1st mini)

Aliens Vs. Predator (1st mini)

Batman gets his *SQUEE* severely handed to him after the first issue but the story ends in sort of a draw, you'll have find out. One of the best stories for either Batman or the Predator that I have read.

3 in the first, 3 (i think) in the second.

The first series was pencilled by Chris Warner (I haven't looked at them in 10 years.

) and it's KICKASS.

Huh??
The first Batman/Predator mini's art was done by Andy and Adam Kubert. It came out in a three issue prestige edition or a three issue regular edition. The prestige books are very nice with #1 having two equal print covers.

The second mini had four issues and the third mini also had four issues

If you want to see the nice pics get the TPB's.
They have cards, and pages of the cards drawn by guest artists including,
Walter Simonson, Adam hughes, michael yates, Authur Adams, JohnByrne, Sam Keith, Mike Mignola, and others.
I think the best one is Arthur Adams pic.
Almost worth the money I paid for the book just to get that pic.

Yup, you're right. Like I said, I haven't looked at them in 10 years.
