Marvel Announces Predator vs. Wolverine Crossover Series!

[Corporal Hicks]

It’s the moment that many of us expected once news came that Marvel would be taking over the Alien and Predator comics – Marvel has just announced the first crossover with one of their legacy characters, Wolverine! Written by Benjamin Percy (who previously wrote Aliens: Aftermath), Predator vs. Wolverine is a 4 issue series that is currently expected to hit shelves in September.

THE THRILL IS THE KILL! Wolverine has lived one of the longest and most storied lives in comics history. Now witness the untold greatest battles of Logan's life – against a Predator! One Yautja seeks the greatest prey in existence – and finds it in Weapon X. From the blood-ridden snows of the Canadian wilderness to the sword-slinging streets of Madripoor, Wolverine and a Predator break everything in their paths on their way to the ultimate victory...or glorious death.

According to Marvel’s announcement,  the interior artwork of Predator vs. Wolverine will be provided by many different artists including the controversial Greg Land, Andrea Di Vito, Ken Lashley, Kei Zama, and “many more.” 

In addition to Benjamin Percy’s previous credit writing for Aliens under Marvel, he is writing Marvel’s current Wolverine and X-Force series. Describing the scope of the upcoming crossover, Percy explains:

"This epic hunt will span decades, as both of these giants learn and harden and grow deadlier with time," Percy continued. "Neither will have time to bleed, but you better make time to read, because I’m putting everything I’ve got into this event, and I’m thrilled to join forces with some of the best artists in the business."

Marvel also recently announced the second volume of Predator: The Original Years which is expected to release March 2024. The first issue of Predator vs. Wolverine will release in September 2023. Thanks to Julio Nimbley Jr. and Gareth Von Kallenbach for the news.

Corporal Hicks, both myself and Nightmare Asylum, have already created a post on this. Can you use your magic, maybe delete or merge posts? And sorry for the headache for the confusion.

They should've got Chris Claremont to write it.

Hopefully this will be as good as Batman.

We all knew this moment was coming. And it's a really good first choice! I'm loving the sounds of it being a decades long chase between the two of them.

[Nightmare Asylum]

As far as comic character vs Predator goes, Wolverine is the one that definitely makes the most sense. The premise doesn't sound half bad, either.

Obviously this won't be canon to the Predator movies, but I wonder if this is going to be considered Marvel canon?

 Let's get to the point, give us Predator vs Mickey mouse  :-

Nope...nope nope nope. These kind of releases go in my personal head iggy-bin along with stuff like Superman vs Aliens. Do not want. 😅

[Nightmare Asylum]

Eh, I'm fine with this kind of thing.... in comics. I don't think it should ever, ever leave the realm of comics, though.

I'm usually of the same mentality when it comes to AVP, with a desire to keep even that crossover strictly confined to comics and games. Though admittedly, the recent news we got about the shelved animated AVP series, and the extent to which it shockingly intrigued me, softened my aversion to the idea of AVP on screen a tad.

Surprised they didnt just do this an one-shots like when the Predators attacked the Dark Horse "Heroes"

I mean, is this really any different than the DC crossovers from the Dark Horse era?

Like, I totally get this not being someone's thing. It isn't really something I'm particularly clamoring for, either. But it isn't exactly something new, either.

[Kradan]

Huh. Makes sense, I suppose

[Nightmare Asylum]

Oh no I just saw that Greg Land is one of the artists. Hope he isn't tracing here...

The idea of this having multiple artists is interesting, I wonder if maybe the art style is going to shift as it moves from one era to the next?

That's precisely my thought as well. I'm intrigued by it.

It isn't. And the Batman vs. Predator crossovers were great. So was Archie vs. Predator surprisingly. I used to absolutely hate the crossovers, but once I actually gave some of them a go, there's some genuinely great ones in that back catalogue.
