Over the course of their storied careers as antagonists in film and comics, the Predators, AKA the Yautja, have hunted some powerful foes. Most of them have been heavily armed and/or highly capable humans created for a Predator film or comic, but they have also stalked some famous faces like the Xenomorphs of the Alien film series and have had several comic crossovers that have pitted them against heroes from DC, Dark Horse Comics, and even Archie Comics. There’s one famous face the Predator hasn’t hunted yet, whose savage nature and signature set of claws make him a perfect and exciting target for the Yautja — Wolverine.That all changes this September when longtime Wolverine writer Benjamin Percy and the art team of Greg Land, Andrea Di Vito, Ken Lashley, and Kei Zama kick off the crossover miniseries Predator Versus Wolverine. The four-issue series is a history-spanning tale where the titular adamantium-enhanced X-Man becomes the target of several Predator hunting parties and one, particularly persistent Yautja. CBR spoke with Percy about the series, the appeal of the Predator, the time periods his story unfolds in, and how natural it feels to have Wolverine and the Yautja hunting each other. Marvel also provided CBR with an exclusive first look at some of Greg Land and colorist Frank D’armata’s pages for Predator Versus Wolverine #1 and the cover and solicit info for November’s Predator Versus Wolverine #3.Benjamin Percy: As a child of the ’80s, I worshiped at the altar of Arnold and Stallone. Predator was the apex movie. I was in third grade when it was released, and though I wasn’t allowed to see rated-R films, there is always that kid in the neighborhood whose parents don’t give a shit. (Thanks, Kevin.) I saw it at his house on VHS maybe five times, and it lit up my nervous system like an electrical grid. This was when I was living in Hawaii, and we used the jungle hillside and river behind our houses as a stage for reenacting the film, setting traps, [and] firing off Nerf guns. Since then, I honestly can’t tell you how often I’ve rewatched it. Dozens. It’s committed to memory like a kind of bloody scripture.
