Marvel Comics is Preparing for an Intellectual Property Conflict with the Predator
Get ready for chaos, my friend! The Predator's reign of terror ain't slowing down anytime soon, as it crashes into the Marvel Universe in the upcoming event, "Predator Kills the Marvel Universe." After tussling with Black Panther, Wolverine, and Spider-Man (and that Spidey showdown kicks off this week!), this intergalactic trophy-hunter is getting ready to take on Earth's mightiest heroes – and villains, too!
In an exclusive chat with IGN, writer Ben Percy let slip that this title isn't just a clever nod – it's the real deal. "So listen up, pally," Percy said, "favorite heroes and baddies are dying left and right as the Predator King makes his move. It's an extinction-level event, see? The Predator's gonna play to his strengths, and Earth's certainly not gonna be safe anymore. It's like a huntin' preserve, mate." The Yautja slyly lifted some Vibranium in their skirmish against Black Panther, and that stolen stuff'll even the odds, letting the Predator King breathe the same air as Spidey, X-Men, and all the rest.
Percy dropped a mouth-dropping teaser, promising a climax that'll make you forget all about the previous skirmishes. "There's precious few who’re bulletproof in this one, mate," he warned. "Get ready to watch some familiar faces kiss goodbye. Armor up, because this ain't for the faint of heart."
"Predator Kills the Marvel Universe" starts August 13. Strap in, mate – things are about to get ugly!
