Jordan Morris is making his move from comedy to bloody, bloody hunts with the announcement of Marvel’s new five-issue series Predator: Bloodshed.
Featuring art by Roland Boschi, the series is set in the world of underground fighting, which becomes super-deadly once a Yautja enters the ring… Forcing the fighters to brad together to stop him. Morris is probably best known for his comedy podcasting, but has been making his way in the comic book world over the past few years, leading to a story in Predator: Black, White & Blood.
“Getting to be part of Predator: Black White and Blood was such an honor,” Morris said via press release. “The Yaujta is one of the coolest characters in pop culture history and I can’t believe the good folks at Marvel are letting us tell another longer, crazier, bloodier story in this awesome universe!
“As a lifelong fan of the Predator franchise, I know that the Yaujta love testing themselves with new challenges. I figured an underground martial arts tournament where Earth’s strongest fighters gather under one roof to wail on each other would be an ideal challenge for the galaxy’s greatest hunter. I grew up on fighting video games and martial arts movies, so I am of the opinion that an underground fighting tournament is the coolest setting there is. I am so excited for folks to see the Yaujta absolutely wreck shop!”
Added Boschi, “I’ve been a fan of Predator since the original film. The iconic threat in a hostile nature, the hunters becoming the hunted, overwhelmed by gruesome attacks… And the explosions! Now blend it with a rough MMA tournament, I know it’s gonna be a thrill!”
