Scott's Take: Predator Kills The Marvel Universe by Benjamin Percy, Marcelo Ferreira (Illustrator), Daniel Picciotto (Illustrator), Brent Peeples (Illustrator), and Leinil Yu (Cover Art)

 

Predator Kills The Marvel Universe by Benjamin Percy, Marcelo Ferreira (Illustrator), Daniel Picciotto (Illustrator), Brent Peeples (Illustrator), and Leinil Yu (Cover Art), is the fourth book in the series. This is the sequel to Predator vs Spider-Man.

 

In this book, the Earth suffers a sneak attack from the Predators which quickly wipes out several major heroes. It is up to the survivors of the ambushes to rally together and take the fight to the Predators. The Predators are armed with arsenal of vibranium and are also getting help from Kraven the Hunter to turn the Earth into a hunting zoo.

 

The main trio of people who actively fight back is Spider-Man, Iron Man and Wolverine. Many heavy hitters are nerfed (weakened or written poorly) and have unrealistic deaths in this particular universe to make this bloody and violent book work. The heroes have to be taken by surprise continually for more than half of the read, along with being dumb, to make things work.

 

In Predator versus Black Panther, it was directly asserted that the Panther would be playing a big role in this book. He does not. He stays on the sidelines for most of this book.

 

There is a lot of fighting which happens off screen that I would of like to see. Like the Punisher vs Predators or Dr. Strange and She Hulk vs the Predators.  Instead of seeing the battles, we see the aftermath repercussions.

 

The characterization of Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Wolverine is really good. But, one can tell these are favorites as they are some of the very few characters who actually stay in character for the read.

 

The book is over quickly as once the heroes rally together in issue four, there is one more issue, and done. There is setup for a fifth book, but we will see if the series continues. Whether it will or not has yet to be announced. If one was done, I would like to see how the world rebuilds with just the survivors, the arsenal of alien technology now scattered across the planet, and the surviving Predators still on Earth.

 

I read this through the Marvel Unlimited App.
