Set in the near future, Earth’s most formidable fighters converge for an underground martial arts tournament orchestrated by a clandestine organization. The stakes escalate dramatically when an unforeseen contender enters the arena: an alien PREDATOR! The champions must not only vie for the grand prize but must fight to stay alive. Will this eclectic group of competitors forge an alliance in time to overcome the extraterrestrial threat? Prepare for a thrilling and bloody contest!
Jordan Morris made his Marvel debut earlier this year in Predator: Black, White & Blood, while Roland Boschi currently lends his talents to Rogue Storm. This new narrative immerses readers in the underground fighting world, featuring a cadre of lethal fighters who must lay aside their rivalries to confront the formidable Yautja.
“Participating in Predator: Black White and Blood was a remarkable experience,” Morris expressed. “The Yautja is an iconic figure in pop culture, and I’m thrilled that the team at Marvel has entrusted us with crafting a longer, more audacious story within this incredible universe!”
“As a lifelong fan of the Predator franchise, I appreciate how the Yautja relish testing their limits with unique challenges,” he added. “I think an underground martial arts tournament, with the strongest fighters clashing under one roof, is the ultimate battleground for the galaxy’s greatest hunter. My background with fighting video games and martial arts films has led me to believe that this setting is truly exhilarating. I can’t wait for fans to witness the Yautja dominate!”
“I’ve admired Predator since the original film,” Boschi commented. “The concept of creatures hunting in a perilous environment and the suspense of becoming the hunted—ratcheted up with intense combat thrills me! Integrating that dynamic with a gritty MMA tournament promises to deliver a captivating experience!”
“I’m a huge fan of Roland Boschi, and I eagerly anticipate readers experiencing his interpretation of the Yautja,” Morris concluded. “His action sequences are exceptionally powerful, ensuring that audiences are treated to beautifully intense carnage!” Following this release, fans can also look forward to Predator: Badlands #1 by Ethan Sacks and Elvin Ching, which serves as a prequel one-shot to the upcoming film, along with the intergalactic clash found in Predator Kills the Marvel Universe, authored by Benjamin Percy with illustrations by Marcelo Ferreira.
