Hunting High
Another comic shimmers into view as Predator makes its Marvel debut
Faces only a mother could love, let’s be honest.
COINCIDING WITH small-screen prequel Prey, extraterrestrial hunters the Yautja are returning to comics in a new Marvel series. But while the latest film takes place in the past, writer Ed Brisson and artist Kev Walker are locating their story in the near future.
“In the first couple of movies, it was implied that the Predators came to Earth on a schedule, more or less, and I wanted to explore their other hunting grounds and routes,” reasons Brisson. “In order to do that, we needed a setting that allowed for that level of space travel, which meant that we needed to set the book in the future. However, for reasons that will likely become clear as the series progresses, we didn’t want to set it too far in the future.”
