"Writer Randy Stradley has lifted the lid on Dark Horse&amp;#039;s Aliens vs Predator: Three World War ahead of its debut next week. Speaking to IGN, the scribe revealed that the series will reintroduce Machiko Noguchi - the heroine from the original AvP graphic novel - and tie in with current Dark Horse projects. &amp;quot;In the current Predator miniseries, an offshoot clan of Predators is introduced - bad Predators, who take joy not in hunting challenging prey, but in simply killing and conquering. In 3WW they return, threatening human colonies out in the galaxy,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Realising they&amp;#039;re outmatched, the Colonial Marines contact Machiko Noguchi (introduced 19 years ago in our first AVP story) to help them cut a deal with the &amp;#039;good&amp;#039; Predators to take on their common enemy.  &amp;quot;Machiko is the only human to ever be &amp;#039;accepted&amp;#039; into Predator culture, though she&amp;#039;s not sure they&amp;#039;ll welcome her back. The Aliens figure into the story because... well, maybe you should read the comics.&amp;quot; Stradley, who helped found Dark Horse Comics in 1986, also wrote the original AvP graphic novel. He assured fans that the previous books are not required reading for anyone who wishes to purchase Three World War. Aliens vs Predator: Three World War #1 (of 6) arrives in stores on January 13.
