This July, the galaxy’s greatest hunter finds new prey on a world ruled by apes in PREDATOR VS. THE PLANET OF THE APES, a five-issue Marvel Comics series written by Greg Pak (Planet Hulk) and drawn by Alan Robinson (X-Men Infinity Comic).
Comic Watch Review:
Made in collaboration with 20th Century Studios, the series marks the first-ever crossover between the two groundbreaking sci-fi franchises and is the latest in Marvel’s line of acclaimed 20th Century Studios storytelling that includes recent hits like Planet of the Apes Vs. Fantastic Four and Predator: Bloodshed.
Blending the mythology as well as the themes of both universes, the revolutionary saga pushes both Yautja and ape to their limit in a brutal battle for dominance!
In the press release announcing the crossover, scribe Hreg Pak shared on his love for both franchises:
“I vividly remember watching the first Planet of the Apes movie on an old 13″ black and white television in the early 1980s and having my mind TOTALLY BLOWN.
So I was thrilled when Marvel approached me to write Planet of the Apes comics — and then even MORE thrilled when they said it would be a Predator book as well!”
“Planet of the Apes and Predator are two of the most iconic sci-fi series of all time—I’d be thrilled to work on EITHER of them. But both of them together?
Just incredible.Both series do so much wild worldbuilding, grapple with a deeply organic and compelling kind of sci-fi, and take on massive and eternally relevant themes of violence and war. Both also absolutely GO THERE, taking huge risks and leaps all the time.
I can’t wait to show what we’re cooking up with Alan Robinson and the rest of the creative team. “
