Marvel Comics Enters a Battle for Intellectual Property Rights Against Predator Franchise
Sneak Peek Into Marvel's Dark Domain: Baddies Galore!
Marvel's universe has been through a rollercoaster ride, tangling with extraterrestrial behemoths like Godzilla and the fearsome Predator. But the battle isn't over yet, not by a long shot. Up next? Prepare for a showdown with the Predator himself, in the highly-anticipated Predator Kills the Marvel Universe.
After testing his mettle against the might of Black Panther, Wolverine, and Spider-Man (the clash with the latter commencing this week), the intergalactic hunter has his sights set on a grander prey. Formidable writer Ben Percy and artist Marcelo Ferreira are piecing together a five-issue series that pits a Predator King against Marvel's heroes and villains.
In an exclusive scoop with IGN, Percy revealed that the narrative will build upon the events of previous stories, as the Predator King brings the fight to Earth, deeming it a hunting ground. "The title isn't misdirection," Percy declared. "Heroes and villains will fall, even as others rise against this extinction-level event. Earth is now a hunting preserve."
Stolen Vibranium from the vs. Black Panther saga will prove to be a game-changer, leveling the playing field for Predator against the X-Men, Spider-Man, and co. The final issue of the Spider-Man crossover will drive this point home, crystal clear.
Percy has promised a shocking climax, with the very Fate of Notable Heroes on the line. "Every character is on the chopping block. No one's safe, and we're not holding back, so armor up."
Predator Kills the Marvel Universe roars into action on August 13.
