As announced at Marvel’s Next Big Thing panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the Yautja are coming after noted picnic-hater Frank Castle in Predator Vs. Punisher. The four-issue series will be written by rank Tieri with art by Jesús Saíz.
Announced earlier today at the Marvel Comics: Next Big Thing Panel at San Diego Comic-Con, PREDATOR VS. PUNISHER, a four-issue series by Frank Tieri (Alien Vs. Captain America) and Jesús Saíz (Eddie Brock: Carnage), launches in November.
“This is the series that’ll answer the age old question of who is pop culture’s greatest killing machine,” Tieri said via press release. “Now, fans know I’ve written the Punisher before—in everything from Punisher Noir to the legendary Space: Punisher—but this is the first time I’m actually tackling the Predator. And as a teen who was front row glued to his seat in the theaters as Arnold yelled ‘Get to the Choppa!’ pitting these two against each other is especially a thrill for me.
“Our story sees the Predator instigating a mob war between some of Marvel’s biggest gangland characters—but the thing is, we’ll quickly realize the mob might not be his only target… but rather a certain vigilante with a skull on his chest, as well. Fans can expect—SPOILER ALERT—a $%^& ton of blood and violence, but also a lot of twists and turns… including an unexpected shared past between our two combatants. ‘If it bleeds we can kill it.’ The only question will be… who is it that ends up getting killed?”
Added Editor Mark Paniccia, “Seeing two iconic killers test each other in ways neither expects is a guilty joy. Frank Tieri and Jesús Saíz are the perfect choice to deliver a showdown this ruthless, visceral, and unforgettable. They’ve created an instant classic!”
Of note, this seems to be its own standalone series, versus the continuity writer Benjamin Percy set up in previous Predator Vs. titles. But hey, I could be wrong!
Predator Vs. Punisher #1 hits stores on November 4, 2026. Check out the synopsis, promotional artwork by Dustin Weaver, and covers by Alex Maleev and Leinil Francis Yu below.
