Two Hunters Clash Across The Decades In Benjamin Percys Predator vs. Wolverine

Two Hunters Clash Across The Decades In Benjamin Percys Predator vs. Wolverine

This September, the Predator will be unleashed on the Marvel Universe for the very first time as he viciously hunts Wolverine wideness decades of Marvel Comic history in Predator vs. Wolverine! The four-issue limited series will be written by Benjamin Percy, the writer known for taking Wolverine’s ferocious spirit to its limits in the character’s current ongoing solo series. Percy will be joined by a host of all-star originative talent including Greg Land, Andrea Di Vito, Ken Lashley, Kei Zama, and many more. The series will reveal a stormy rivalry between Wolverine and a Yautja who’s been stalking him since his primeval days… Witness these never-before-told encounters as Percy brings the bloodiest hunters in all pop culture to their knees!

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 – versus 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 unravel everything in their paths on their way to the ultimate victory…or glorious death.

On why he’s the perfect writer to craft this groundbreaking story, Percy said, “I’m not going to say I was born to write this crossover… but sometimes the universe reveals why you were created. I am a child of the eighties. I cannot tell you how many times I watched Predator, just as I cannot tell you how many Wolverine comics I have read, considering that would be like telling you how many breaths I’ve taken or cheeseburgers I’ve eaten. The mythologies of both are ingrained in me so tightly they might as well be strands of DNA or wisps of soul. The guns, claws, beef, and thoroughbred of both franchises have been stewing in my smart-ass since 1987, when I read myself to sleep every night with a stack of Marvel comics and my friends and I used to play ‘Predator’ with Nerf guns in the woods and river near our neighborhood.”

“This epic venery 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 largest make time to read, considering I’m putting everything I’ve got into this event, and I’m thrilled to join forces with some of the weightier artists in the business.”
