Around the time of the release of Predators following on from his artwork for the movie, Michael Broom shared a new drawing of an Predator fighting an Alien/ Predator Hybrid in a Predator Cemetery and as soon as it was finished he shared the work with the AVPGalaxy Forum.
See other works by Michael Broom related to the Alien Mythos.

Source quotes
- Michael Broom: For those interested, Here's my initial sketch..you can see how rough and loose I started, and some of the notes i made to myself before starting. Then I just scanned this image into photoshop andd started to over lay colors and textures that I liked. I really had a tonal feel and atmoshere that I was going for...I wanted the thing stepping through the fog towards the character in the foreground (Which i almost darkened and blurred to obscure him totally).(AVPGalaxy, August 1st 2010)
- Michael Broom: As far as the Predator not having armor and such, i just didnt feel like drawing it.... Besides, there's nothing that i can think of that would be more intimidating than to be facing a big-ass monster with nothing but a spear. It was also kinda Inspired by all of those old Frazetta Conan images, and that dude NEVER painted clothes, haha
- Michael Broom: Well, it's not supposed to be completely a Giger alien, (but it does have some elements of that)...Perhaps a hybris of three different life-forms. Sorry, Fellahs... i'm no good at following rules.. I just like to make em up and come up with cool stuff i havent seen before. (AVPGalaxy, August 1st 2010)
- Michael Broom:Why is it so big and have eyes though? -it's big Because I wanted it to feel imposing, and it has four eyes becuase i like lotsa eyes. (liking the concept or not is kind of a personal preference...I'd assumed it would be unpopular, there seems to be a pre-conceived notion of what a hybrid SHOULD or should not look like.) More than anything, i was trying to get an 'atmosphere' of a thing coming through the fog, and i liked the idea of a Predator cemetery. (AVPGalaxy, August 1st 2010)

a) In Moebius return to the world of Arzach with "Arzach L'Arpenteur" released in 2010 . At the top of a citadel, Moebius draws a crumbling mask like face staring up into the sky which Arzach discovers is the remains of a graverobbed mausoleum..

b) This chinless face looking up to the sky from the top of a piece of architecture reflects the very much the idea of the face like structure in the Cydonia area of mars. The face had been first noticed in photographs taken by the Viking orbiter in 1976. If the face on Mars is indeed a face, it is not completely like a human as we would know it, perhaps it displays simion qualities, maybe the two halves of the face are not supposed to be symmetrical and perhaps we are only seeing a severely damaged ruin if it is one.
