One sought Wolverine as the ultimate challenge. A hunting party invaded Wakanda only to be turned away by Black Panther and his people. An outcast contended with Spider-Man in the urban jungles of New York City. Now, a Yautja king and his court will make Earth into their own happy hunting ground in Predator Kills the Marvel Universe.
Predator Kills the Marvel Universe will be the finale of a line of crossovers between the two franchises. It will be written by Benjamin Percy who has overseen the series since the bloody beginning. The artwork will be provided by Marcelo Ferreira, who also illustrated Predator vs. Spider-Man.
The story will center around a Predator king empowered by a new arsenal of Vibranium weapons. This, coupled with a surprisingly unlikely human ally, leads to an all-out invasion of Earth. Both heroes and villains will stand against the alien hunters. However, not all of them will make it out alive. The first issue is scheduled for release on August 13.
Predator Kills the Marvel Universe title is ‘not misdirection.’
Percy spoke with IGN about the series to date and the accordingly escalated build to Predator Kills the Marvel Universe.
“Over the past few years, I’ve been having the time of my life writing the Predator Vs. series,” he said. “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.”
Marvel Comics is famed for their explicitly hyperbolic advertising. As such, audiences might be skeptical of a title like Predator Kills the Marvel Universe. However, Percy is adamant that this series’ title is no exaggeration.
“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.”
Predator Kills the Marvel Universe #1 arrives in comic shops everywhere on August 13, 2025.
