None
The Predator comic books are part of the Predator franchise and has had several titles published based on the license, most of which are part of the Dark Horse Comics line (Dark Horse also publishes the Aliens and Alien vs. Predator lines of comics) but other comics by other distributors have been made. All Predator solo comics, not counting crossovers like Fire and Stone, were set on Earth in either the present or past until Marvel´s 2022 reboot moved the setting for the first time from Earth and into the future. Some continuity was retained due to the return of John Schaefer.
