Marvel Announces Predator vs. Planet of the Apes Comics

Sci-fi fans, mark your calendars. Two of the most iconic cinematic franchises are finally colliding in a crossover that feels like it was written in the stars—or perhaps in a high-tech hunting lodge.

Marvel Comics, in collaboration with 20th Century Studios, has officially announced Predator vs. Planet of the Apes. This five-issue limited series is set to launch this summer, marking the first-ever official crossover between the legendary Yautja hunters and the evolved ape civilization.

The Creative Team & Story

Acclaimed writer Greg Pak (World War Hulk) and artist Alan Robinson (Fantastic Four) are the creative minds behind this ambitious project.

The narrative kicks off when a Yautja warrior crash-lands on the iconic Earth of the future. The survival-of-the-fittest stakes reach a boiling point as a three-way war erupts between:

• The Apes: The dominant, ruling society of the planet.

• The Yautja: The galaxy’s most dangerous trophy hunters.

• The Humans: Led by a stranded astronaut embedded within the ape hierarchy.
