Revealed at SDCC, Marvel’s Punisher will find himself in the crosshairs of a Predator for a four issue mini-series this fall.
The Punisher meets his match
Over the decades, Marvel fans have seen Frank Castle face down all manner of criminal. Those have come in the form of lowly thugs, and super-powered foes alike. But in all of that time, he’s never faced what Marvel will be throwing at him this fall.
The publisher officially took the wraps off of its latest Predator crossover at the Con’s Next Big Thing Panel. As fans know, the cosmic hunter has previously starred in mini-series that set him against both Wolverine, Black Panther, and Spider-Man. From the sound of it though, Predator vs Punisher might be setting up to be the bloodiest battle yet.
The tale in question takes place during a mob war on the streets of NYC. It’s not an organically evolving one though, as it sounds like the Predator has created it for a purpose. And yes, that purpose would be luring one skull-shirted vigilante to his doom.
From the looks of it, this won’t be an in-canon story. That’s how we’re taking it anyway, since it seems like Kingpin, Jigsaw, Silvermane and others might be caught in the crossfire. So with that in mind, which one of the title combatants wins is anyone’s guess.
Fans can look for Predator vs Punisher #1 (of 4) to hit the racks this November the 4th. As with most of Marvel‘s marquee titles too, you can look for some variant covers. One of those is a slick looking homage to the Punisher’s first appearance too, from Leinil Francis Yu.
