Predator Kills the Marvel Universe #4 (by Benjamin Percy, Marcelo Ferreira, Jay Leisten, Frank D'Armata, and VC's Clayton Cowles) opens to find Wolverine and Nightcrawler facing off against yet another set of bloodthirsty alien opponents. Fortunately, they aren't the only heroes taking on the Yautja threat, as everyone from Sue Storm to the Black Panther has begun their own preparations for the final fight for the fate of their world. Even better, Spider-Man and Iron Man are right around the corner, and they are more than happy to team up with any and every other hero they can find.

The official solicit synopsis for Predator Kills the Marvel Universe #4 from Marvel Comics reads, "Vibranium Wars! In this time of death and crisis, Black Panther and the Wakandans open up their isolated nation to join the fight against the Predator incursion. They've faced these hunters before — and they have wartime tactics and a vibranium arsenal of their own to share..."

Predator Kills the Marvel Universe is just the latest in a long line of recent crossover comics that have seen various Predators make their way to the world of Marvel Comics and confront the greatest heroes it has to offer. Along the way, everyone from Spider-Man to the Black Panther to the Mighty Thor has come face-to-face with these invading alien hunters, though not all have been lucky enough to survive the experience. The relative success of the Yautja invasion has been largely due to one man, Kraven the Hunter, who quite unsurprisingly found kindred spirits in the Predators as a whole.

New Black Panther Story Is Bringing Back One of the Best to Ever Do It

The next big Black Panther story is bringing back one of the most beloved (and critically acclaimed) writers in Marvel Comics history.

Back in April, writer Benjamin Percy opened up about the ongoing battle against the Predators in the pages of Marvel Comics, noting, "These stories have been patiently building toward something epic. Their interconnectedness will be revealed in this explosive, blood-drenched, five-part story. That title? It's not misdirection. This one's gonna hurt. Your favorite heroes and villains will fall, even as others rise up against this extinction-level event. The Predator King is here, the Yautja are armed with vibranium, and Earth is now a hunting preserve."
