Marvel has done a couple of series where The Predator of Fox film fame crossed over with a Marvel hero. There was the surprisingly great one with Wolverine and a mini-series where a number of Predators go up against the Black Panther was also quite good and just wrapped. Sometimes these crossovers can feel like a mixture of a cash grab and empty fan service, so I've been pleased with how great the first two were with a lot of the credit for that going to writer Benjamin Percy and the assortment of artists who have tackled these crossovers (oh, and there have been some Predator-only focused comics at Marvel too that were perfectly fine and just got less buzz). Now, Benjamin Percy and Marcelo Ferreira are bringing us the most well-known (Marvel) hero of them all going against the infamous alien. Yep, we're getting, "Predator Versus Spider-Man." That sounds cool, doesn't it?
I'm excited about this series as Percy killed it (no pun intended) on the first two books and based on the teaser art it appears this new mini will be taking place smack-dab in NYC--a place I don't think a Predator has been since the, "Concrete Jungle," comic at Dark Horse decades ago or technically the stand-in, "New Way City," of the, "Predator: Concrete Jungle," video-game on the Xbox and PlayStation 2. Yes, the phrase, "Concrete Jungle," seems popular with media that relates to the Predator, but I digress from my main point--Spider-Man and the Predator are going to fight! That sounds cool and assuming this takes place over four issues in the same manner as the Wolverine and Black Panther crossovers the event will be nice and snappy, keeping us enthralled while not wearing out its welcome. I look forward to when this new mini-series begins in 2025!
