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.
