In a brutal and wild new crossover, Marvel Comics is unleashing an epic showdown between two of the most savage icons in sci-fi and comics history: Wolverine, the adamantium-clawed mutant, and Predator, the galaxy-hopping hunter with a trophy case full of skulls. And trust me, this isn’t a match made in heaven – it’s a match made in an arena dripping with blood, bone, and bad intentions.
Mark your calendars for September 20, 2023, when “Predator vs Wolverine #1” slashes its way into comic shops. With eight electrifying variant covers, this four-part miniseries promises an adrenaline-fueled clash as these two legendary fighters face off in a brutal, bloody contest across decades of Logan’s life. It’s the ultimate face-off between claw and alien tech. Forget the Avengers’ squabbles – this is an intergalactic brawl that’ll have you gripping the edge of your seat like Wolverine grips his prey.
Crafted by Benjamin Percy, the same masterful storyteller behind Marvel’s ongoing Wolverine solo series, this miniseries reads like a love letter to the ’80s – a time when over-the-top violence and macho showdowns dominated pop culture. Percy, fueled by a childhood spent reading Marvel comics and daydreaming about Predator while brandishing Nerf guns in his backyard, is the perfect architect for this feral crossover.
Let’s talk about the art. This is no quick cash grab—Marvel’s wheeling out the big guns here. With a rotating squad of illustrators, including Greg Land, Andrea Di Vito, and Marco Checchetto, each issue promises a visual feast of carnage as claws and plasma-casters tear through the pages. These artists are taking us from the cold, bloody snows of Canada to the gritty streets of Madripoor, and we’re loving every blood-soaked minute of it.
The story revolves around one especially ambitious Yautja (that’s “Predator” to us mere mortals) hunting the fiercest prey in existence: Logan, aka Weapon X. The Predator isn’t just hunting any old target—he’s tracking one of the most unkillable, battle-hardened fighters in comic history. As both grow deadlier over time, it becomes a grisly game of evolution. One will claim victory… or both will meet glorious death.
And speaking of glorious death, these variant covers are to die for. The lineup of talent behind them includes names like Alex Maleev, Skottie Young, and the unmistakable Peach Momoko. Each artist brings their own flair, from dramatic, action-packed scenes to more stylized, almost playful renditions of the impending clash. One particularly striking cover features the chilling reflection of Predator’s tusked maw in Wolverine’s metal claws, a visual metaphor for the deadly face-off to come.
For Percy, it’s personal. “The mythologies of both are ingrained in me so deeply they might as well be strands of DNA or wisps of soul,” Percy said, channeling the essence of both franchises. And honestly, who can argue with him? Since 1987, fans have worshipped these characters for their raw, unfiltered violence and instinct for survival. Now, they’re colliding in a no-holds-barred battle that spans decades.
This miniseries doesn’t just promise carnage—it’s a celebration of everything that made Predator and Wolverine legends. So, make sure to grab your copy when “Predator vs Wolverine #1” hits stores, and get ready for a brutal, blood-soaked ride.
