Facing Off: Marvel's Biggest Battles Just Got Bigger
The Marvel universe is gearing up for some epic showdowns. First, it was the Alien, then Godzilla, and now it's the Predator's turn! This year, the legendary hunter from the Yautja tribe is making a comeback in not one, but two projects - live-action and animated.
Following tangles with Black Panther, Wolverine, and Spider-Man (which kicks off this week), the intergalactic hunter is set to wreak havoc in Predator takes down the Marvel Universe. Brit Ben Percy, the mastermind behind vs. Spider-Man, and Marcelo Ferreira are the creative minds behind this five-issue series.
In an exclusive scoop with IGN, Percy revealed that the previous battles will have an impact on this new event. "The title isn't a bluff," he said. "Fan-favorites, both heroes and villains, will meet their demise, while others will rise to challenge this extinction-level event."
Earth has been marked as a hunting preserve, and the Vibranium stolen by the Yautja in vs. Black Panther is bound to be the game-changer that will put them on the same level as Spider-Man, the X-Men, and the rest. Percy hinted at a shocking finale, promising "armor up" for the coming bloodbath, with no one safe from the Yautja's wrath.
