A Predator is back in the Marvel U this April, and targeting Spider-Man

Looks like the Predators aren’t done with the Marvel Universe just yet, as one will be taking aim at Spider-Man in 2025.

They call him Skinner

We’ve already seen the likes of Predator vs Wolverine and Predator vs Black Panther, but the deadly Yautja race is coming back for more next year. This time, it’ll be a city showdown that has us reminiscing about Predator 2, as the alien called Skinner will be hunting a certain webbed hero across the rooftops of NYC.

Writer Benjamin Percy will be crafting Predator vs Spider-Man, with Marcelo Ferreira providing the interior art, for a story that Marvel is saying will be particularly “brutal” and “visceral”. It’s kind of easy to guess why, as the Predator is set to be known as Skinner.

TARGET: SPIDER-MAN IN PREDATOR’S GRITTIEST SERIES YET!

A heat wave sends NYC into a blackout and Spider-Man on patrol as tempers boil across the city. But beneath its grimy sewers and subways lurks a threat unlike anything Peter Parker has faced before. Introducing “Skinner,” a Predator of no honor and no clan – only a thirst for blood.

“Spider-Man is at the top of every writer’s wishlist. I’m thrilled and grateful to get this opportunity, putting this beloved webslinger against the galaxy’s greatest hunters in the urban wilderness of New York,” Percy said. “It’s so much fun to live in Peter Parker’s world — and to put my own wild spin on his relationship with MJ, Jonah Jameson, and (yes — oh, hell yes) Kraven. Marcelo Ferreira captures the visual dynamism of Spidey so well, and we’ve had a lot of fun designing a Predator that is unlike any other. This Yautja — who we’re calling Skinner — has no code or clan. He’s the perfect nightmarish foil to the big-hearted Parker.”
