It’s a big year for the Predator franchise with two films incoming in the live-action Predator: Badlands and the animated Predator: Killer of Killers, but that’s not all fans have in store as Marvel Comics has now announced that the Yautja are set to launch a full scale invasion of the Marvel Universe with the upcoming crossover series Predator Kills the Marvel Universe.
The five-issue series is being written by Benjamin Percy, fresh off his trilogy of Predator vs. titles pitting the iconic alien hunter against Wolverine, Black Panther, and Spider-Man, with art from Marcelo Ferreira (Predator vs. Spider-Man).
“Over the past few years, I’ve been having the time of my life writing the Predator Vs. series,” states Percy. “The Yautja have hunted Wolverine across the decades. They’ve battled Black Panther and plundered Wakanda of its vibranium. And they’ve faced off against Spider-Man and Kraven during a blackout heatwave in New York. These stories have been patiently building toward something epic. Their interconnectedness will be revealed in this explosive, blood-drenched, five-part story. That title? It’s not misdirection. This one’s gonna hurt. Your favorite heroes and villains will fall — even as others rise up against this extinction-level event. The Predator King is here — the Yautja are armed with vibranium — and Earth is now a hunting preserve.”
It began as a feud between hunters in Predator Vs. Wolverine. It escalated to a battle between dynasties in Predator Vs. Black Panther. It led to a vicious attack on an entire city in Predator Vs. Spider-Man. Now, this interconnected epic evolves into a global war in PREDATOR KILLS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE. The grand finale of this smash hit pop culture collision sees the heroes of the Marvel Universe join forces to defend the world from an entire army of the galaxy’s greatest hunters. Fans can expect shocking deaths as the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men and more are caught off guard by the Predator’s orchestrated savagery, all while Percy and Ferreira dare to explore their terrifying plans for Earth.
It’s the bloody kickoff to an epic battle between the Predators and Marvel’s heroes! A Predator King, emboldened by a new vibranium arsenal and aided by a surprising human ally, launches an all-out invasion of Earth, claiming the planet as a hunting preserve! You’ll need to read to see just who–if anyone–will survive and to witness some shocking twists and turns as the entire Marvel Universe finds itself in the Predator’s tri-laser crosshairs!
Predator Kills the Marvel Universe #1 will go on sale on August 13th 2025.
