"The thrill is the kill !"
The Predator aka The Yautja, (pronounced Ya-OOT-ja), FINALLY enters the Marvel Universe as Benjamin Percy pits two of pop culture’s most beloved and deadliest hunters against each other in ‘Predator vs. Wolverine.‘ It was only a matter of time before these two clashed and we can’t WAIT to watch and read the mayhem in this 4-issue series.
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.
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.”
This sounds VERY promising and our fingers are crossed it’s all we’ve been anticipating for years. One can only hope that Marvel takes a very bold move and brings this battle to the big screen. If/ WHEN they announce that we will get in line for tickets at our local IMAX. What do YOU think?
