You’ll want to get your stinkin’ paws on this one: Marvel has announced Predator Vs. The Planet of the Apes, a new five issue miniseries written by Greg Pak with art by Alan Robinson that jams two franchises together to found out if apes bleed. And if they bleed, we can kill them.
“I vividly remember watching the first Planet of the Apes movie on an old 13″ black and white television in the early 1980s and having my mind TOTALLY BLOWN,” Pak said via press release. “So I was thrilled when Marvel approached me to write Planet of the Apes comics — and then even MORE thrilled when they said it would be a Predator book as well!”
In the new series, a human astronaut named Arch finds herself stuck on the planet of the apes, which — spoiler — is Earth the whole time. Meanwhile, they’re all being hunted by the Yautja. Yuh-oh!
“Planet of the Apes and Predator are two of the most iconic sci-fi series of all time—I’d be thrilled to work on EITHER of them. But both of them together? Just incredible,” Pak continued. “Both series do so much wild worldbuilding, grapple with a deeply organic and compelling kind of sci-fi, and take on massive and eternally relevant themes of violence and war. Both also absolutely GO THERE, taking huge risks and leaps all the time. I can’t wait to show what we’re cooking up with Alan Robinson and the rest of the creative team. “
Predator vs. The Planet of the Apes #1 hits stores on July 29. Check out covers by Stonehouse, Tim Seeley, and Chris Campana below, as well as synopsis and solicit inof.
