"(I HAVE ONLY READ THE FIRST 2 STRIPS)
The title "Predator" jumped at me; it reminded me of the Fox movie from the late 80s starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. But for some strange reason, I don't think army soldiers with huge guns and muscles epically fighting a supernatural alien would fit on this website. Now, transitioning to a more serious mode, I think the story line is interesting and certainly fits with current events. The wavering stability of the economy, the thousands of monthly job lay-offs especially in the automobile industry (even more so in small automobile dealerships like Mighty Motors), and the desperate search for alternatives are all included in the comic. The young girl trying to take responsibility by finding a part time job to help her family's financial problems is quite admirable. Although, I'm unsure what the driverless car adds to the story. Perhaps the driver is a short drunk teenage boy from a rich family which is not so severely affected by the economic times. Thus portraying a contrast between the responsibility of the girl and the irresponsibility of the boy; almost showing "this girl is your role model; be like her" and "this boy is an example of all that is wrong; never be like him." Seems quite interesting! I'm going to read the rest of the comic now!

Like,is something going to pop out at the woman? Or, why is the car empty? Were the riders kidnapped? The story plot has alot of potential to be any number of possiblities and it keeps the reader guessing what is going to happen next. "
