As a fan of the Predator movies, I love the direction the series is going in. The movies haven’t always had this bright of a future. There’s been a lot of misses and missed opportunity in the past with battle royales that felt anything but. The property has expanded the hunt through location and time and Marvel has taken on that aspect in their recent comics that pit Predators against Marvel’s heroes. The latest is the next chapter in those connected stories. Predator Kills the Marvel Universe #1 kicks off the series that brings all of that together for one epic story and battle.
Predator Kills The Marvel Universe #1 is the bloody kickoff to an epic battle between the Predators and Marvel’s heroes! A Predator King, emboldened by a new vibranium arsenal and aided by a surprising human ally, launches an all-out invasion of Earth, claiming the planet as hunting preserve! You’ll need to read to see just who – if anyone – will survive and to witness some shocking twists and turns as the entire Marvel Universe finds itself in the Predator’s tri-laser crosshairs!, a Predator King makes the entire Earth, his hunting ground and its up to Marvel’s heroes to prove otherwise.
Written by Benjamin Percy, Predator Kills The Marvel Universe is a continuation of the previous volumes before which involved Wolverine, Black Panther, and Spider-Man. While this one references those stories, readers don’t need to have read them to appreciate it. While you’re understanding may be deeper, the story itself is pretty simple, Kraven is leading Predators against Earth’s heroes. Percy delivers some surprises and also the first two strikes for an opening that sets up the story well.
The art by Marcelo Ferreira and Daniel Picciotto looks solid and delivers just enough of the violence we’d expect from the Predator hunts. With color by Frank D’Armata and lettering by Clayton Cowles, the comic looks sharp folding in the Predators to the Marvel world with ease.
Overall, Predator Kills The Marvel Universe #1 is an exciting start to the story that feels like it has real life stakes for Earth’s mightiest heroes. The story is heartbreaking at times and definitely shocking. The art by the creative team is gorgeous. Altogether, it’s a story that fans will feel as their favorite heroes are eviscerated.
