Prepare for the Ultimate Showdown This April!
Marvel fans, get ready to witness one of the most electrifying battles ever brought to the pages of comic books. This April, the legendary Predator sets its sights on none other than Spider-Man in a brand-new crossover series, Predator vs. Spider-Man. Brought to life by the creative powerhouse of writer Benjamin Percy and artist Marcelo Ferreira, this four-issue saga promises to deliver an unforgettable clash of two iconic characters.
The Plot: A Heatwave, A Blackout, and a Bloodthirsty Predator
New York City swelters under an oppressive heatwave that triggers a massive blackout, plunging the city into chaos. Amid the simmering unrest, Spider-Man swings into action to keep the peace. However, lurking beneath the city’s grimy sewers and abandoned subway tunnels is a deadly new threat: Skinner, a rogue Predator unlike any other.
Skinner is no ordinary Yautja. Without a code or clan, this Predator operates purely on an insatiable thirst for blood. His brutal methods make him one of the most terrifying foes Peter Parker has ever encountered. The stakes are higher than ever as Spider-Man faces a hunter who thrives on chaos and carnage.
Benjamin Percy’s Vision for the Series
“Spider-Man is at the top of every writer’s wishlist. I’m thrilled and grateful to get this opportunity, putting this beloved webslinger against the galaxy’s greatest hunters in the urban wilderness of New York,” Percy shared. “It’s so much fun to live in Peter Parker’s world — and to put my own wild spin on his relationship with MJ, Jonah Jameson, and (yes — oh, hell yes) Kraven.”
Percy also hinted at the unique design and personality of Skinner, a Predator unlike any other we’ve seen. With no honor or allegiance, Skinner serves as the perfect nightmarish counterpart to Spider-Man’s big-hearted heroism.
A Visual Feast from Marcelo Ferreira
Artist Marcelo Ferreira, known for his dynamic and kinetic art style, brings Spider-Man’s urban acrobatics to vivid life while capturing the visceral terror of Skinner. Together, Percy and Ferreira have crafted a Predator that’s as visually stunning as it is menacing.
Cover Art and Variant Options
Fans can look forward to a chilling main cover by Paulo Siqueira, as well as an alternate variant cover by Ryan Brown. These striking visuals will set the tone for the gritty and intense series awaiting readers.
