Marvel Comics has postponed all of its planned Predator projects.
According to Newsarama, this includes the recently announced Predator ongoing series, the omnibus collection and a series of Marvel vs. Predator variant covers. The publisher reportedly gave no reason for the surprise postponement but told retailers to unofficially plan for them to go out in November.
Marvel announced it had acquired the licenses to Predator and Alien in July 2020. Dark Horse Comics previously published lines of Alien and Predator comics, but Marvel is now the exclusive home of these adventures that will continue to expand on the feature films. Variant covers pitting Predator against the heroes of the Marvel Universe were expected to arrive in May to herald the launch of the aforementioned ongoing series by Ed Brisson and Kev Walker.
As for the omnibus collection, it will include Predator #1-4, Predator 2 #1-2, Predator: Big Game #1-4, Predator: Cold War #1-4, Predator: The Bloody Sands of Time #1-2, material from Dark Horse Presents and much more. The collection was scheduled to go on sale in July.
