ALIEN VS. PREDATOR SERIES

(Redirected from Aliens vs. Predator)


'''AvP'''), is a science fiction / horror fiction series spanning several forms of media. The series is a crossover between two popular movie series about extraterrestrial beings: ''Alien'' (whose aliens are known as "xenomorphs") and ''Predator'' (whose aliens are known as the "Predators" or "Yautja" in their native tongue); in ''Alien vs. Predator'', the two species are in conflict with one another. The idea for such a crossover is often thought to have originated from a Xenomorph skull seen as a Predator's trophy in ''Predator 2'', but Dark Horse Comics published their first Alien vs. Predator story in November 1989, a year before the November 1990 release of ''Predator 2''.
The Alien vs. Predator universe currently consists of several computer/video games, some comics, several books, and a movie and its upcoming sequel.

''Note on naming'': Most recent AvP media and the earlier computer games use the singular form and the abbreviation, viz.: ''Alien vs. Predator''. By contrast, the novels use the plural (''Aliens vs. Predator''), while the later computer games use the plural and unabbreviated "versus" (''Aliens versus Predator''). The comics vary between the latter two.
