After the success of Predator Vs. Wolverine, where a single Yautja warrior stalked Wolverine across decades and Predator Vs. Black Panther where the Predators invaded Wakanda and almost walked away with the throne, Marvel is pitting The Predator against the crown jewel of their heroes: Spider-Man!
This is not the first time Spidey’s been hunted: Morlun and Kraven The, er, Hunter. But Writer Benjamin Percy and artist Marcelo Ferreira have cooked up a brand new Predator to drop Spidey in the meat grinder with, nicknamed Skinner, who promises to be more brutal than most Predators you’ve seen before, promising one of the most visceral battles in Spider-Man’s long history.
When a heat-wave sends NYC into a blackout, and tempers boil across the city, Spidey patrols the city… but in the sewers, something waits… Skinner, a predator with no clan and no honour, who has a thirst for blood!
Percy, who put Wolverine through his paces with The Predator, discusses what promises to be a Spider-Man story yet: "Spider-Man is at the top of every writer's wishlist. I'm thrilled and grateful to get this opportunity, putting this beloved web slinger against the galaxy's greatest hunters in the urban wilderness of New York. It's so much fun to live in Peter Parker's world — and to put my own wild spin on his relationship with MJ, J. Jonah Jameson, and (yes — oh, hell yes) Kraven! Marcelo Ferreira captures the visual dynamism of Spidey so well, and we've had a lot of fun designing a Predator that is unlike any other. This Yautja — who we're calling Skinner — has no code or clan. He's the perfect nightmarish foil to the big-hearted Parker."
Predator Vs. Spider-Man hits comic shops on NCBD 23rd April 2025, and features a main cover by Paulo Siqueira, as well as a variant by Ryan Brown!
