Coming This September: ‘Predator Vs. Wolverine’ — NUFF SAID!
by Tony Thornley
It’s probably the story most fans have requested since Disney acquired 20th Century Fox several years ago. This September, writer Benjamin Percy and a slew of all-star artists give us Predator Vs. Wolverine!
The four-issue limited series sees Percy joined by an all-star roster of artists like Greg Land, Andrea Di Vito, Kei Zama and more. The series will tell an untold tale of the greatest battle in Logan’s long history — a decades-long rivalry against a Yautja warrior! From the Canadian wilderness to modern Madripoor, these two goliaths will stop at nothing until one emerges victorious!
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, because 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 deeply they might as well be strands of DNA or wisps of soul. The guns, claws, beef, and blood of both franchises have been stewing in my brain 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 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.”
