I was able to pick up the first Predator run in comics, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's essentially a partial script for Predator 2, with a few interesting differences such as: Dutch's brother in Donald Glover's role, and the general from the first film in what would be Gary Busey's role.

Originally printed in Astounding SF magazine back in the fifties, this is the story of a war between Earth and the Outspacers from Alpha Centauri. The Outspacers send a clone/robot of a top scientist, Spence Olham, to replace him and set off a bomb that'll wipe out key infrastructure and weapons research centres. The problem for 'ol Spence is that he's hunted by security forces on Earth who're not interested, or care, whether he's a human or a robot, their orders are to shoot on sight before the bomb is detonated. It's down to Spence to prove whether he really is, or isn't, what he claims to be before it's too late.
The twists and turns are classic PKD. The paranoid-mania is palpable and it serves as an early inclination as to the trajectory his career would go in. The story is fast-paced and never slows down. it's a rip-roaring thrill to the end that left me guessing.
This is a fantastic little short story that's well worth checking out, and I'm going to leave a link to where you can read it for free if you so wish. it's worth it! - ...more

Solid tale about an Angel coming to Earth and his interactions with a vicar. It starts out strong, and the fish out of water nature had me engaged, but then the story meanders for fifty/sixty pages before ending on a fairly strong note.
