A battle for the ages will erupt in the pages of Marvel Comics next month, pitting movie-monster Predator against Wolverine.
I ain’t got time to heal
Marvel Comics’ own killing machine, Wolverine is about to meet his match in a big screen alien that’s terrified movie-goers for decades. Not content with publishing standalone tales of the Predator, the publisher will be bringing the Yautja species to the Marvel Universe next month.
Not only that, but one in particular will be a little bit obsessed with a certain feral X-Man. It’s a fight that will span the decades, with the Predator hunting Wolverine over and over again, throughout the mutant’s unnaturally long life. At least, that’s what we gather from the promotional material to this point.
Although the two images released yesterday don’t really say a lot, they do hint at the lengthy retcon that’ll be in place as these titans tussle. Image two clearly shows a bone-clawed Logan, taking the fight to an injured Pred, with image one showing one seriously messed-up, costumed Wolverine.
While the news on the actual story behind the mini-series might be slim right now, Marvel is just ramping up the hype machine for this one. You’re likely to see quite a bit in the weeks to come, as in short order we’re going to have issue #1. The mini-series debuts next month from writer Ben Percy and with Ken Lashley, Greg Land, and Andrea Di Vito all providing the interior pencils.
Predator vs Wolverine #1 (of 4) arrives in stores on September 20th, 2023.
