Predator #1: Brisson’s Predator Saga Continues with the Perfect Blend of Action and Horror

Marvel Comics has announced that the Predator universe will continue its savage path with the brand-new series Predator #1. Ed Brisson and Kev Walker have paved the way for the alien predators’ hunt in the Marvel Comics Universe and this time around, Brisson will be joined by artist Netho Diaz as the character who continues to dominate pop culture fandoms cements himself into a new universe. 

Since the debut this past August, we were introduced to a new protagonist in Theta Berwick but their journey is just beginning and this March, the next chapter kicks off as the hunt for the alien killers continues and the kill count is only going to get higher from here. The new series will take readers years further since the first arc and introduce new characters who attempt to survive against not one, not two, but three predators all equipped with distinct skills that make them vicious, horrifying, killing machines. 

Marvel’s description of Predator reads: 

“On a planet far from Earth, eight strangers find themselves in a deadly game. But this time, the Predators aren’t the only ones on the hunt. Someone has the Yautja in their sites – and they’ve been searching for this game preserve for a long time. Prepare for a brutal, carnage-filled adventure that will turn everything you thought you knew about Predators on its head!”

“As a lifelong Predator fan — ever since seeing the first at the drive-in theatre at too-young-of-an-age — writing the comic has been an absolute dream gig,” Brisson said. “I’ve been thrilled at fan reaction and how I’ve been able to bring Theta into Predator lore — a bad-ass hunter we haven’t seen the likes of since Dutch took down the Jungle Hunter back in 1987.”

“My only problem with our first series was that it was over too soon! I waned, no…needed, to write more in this universe,” he continued. “Thankfully, we’re coming back, with incredible newcomer Netho Diaz on art, to tell a tale that ties into film continuity, while breaking new ground. We’ve got a new cast, new Predators, and some huge surprises in store! If you’ve read and enjoyed our first series, you are not going to want to miss out.”

Predator #1 will be available at your local comic shop and digitally on March 8, 2023.
