"Dark Horse has released a comic book prequel to the upcoming movie Predators. Written by Marc Andreyko and David Lapham, the comic provides background information on several of the film&amp;#039;s characters and sets the scene. &amp;quot;The comics take [producer] Robert Rodriguez&amp;#039;s screenplay and expand on it,&amp;quot; Lapham told Wired. &amp;quot;As writers and artists, we&amp;#039;ve been given latitude to create stories that add to the characters.  &amp;quot;So even if you see the movie, you&amp;#039;re going to get something different. And people who read the comics are going into the film knowing so much more about the story behind what they&amp;#039;re seeing.&amp;quot; Featuring artwork by Guilherme Balbi and Gabriel Guzman, Predators #1 is available in stores now. The film arrives in theatres on July 8. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
