New Predator vs. Spider-Man Details Revealed (Including the New Predator)

As a lifelong comics enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the vibrant worlds of Marvel and beyond, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming clash between Spider-Man and the Predator! Having grown up with both characters, it’s truly a dream come true to see them face off against each other.

In the upcoming Marvel saga, Spider-Man will face off against an unconventional alien hunter, dubbed Skinner, in a heated showdown set during a sweltering blackout in New York City. Previously seen clashing with Wolverine and Black Panther, this new Predator series, comprising four issues, brings Skinner into the limelight. As described on Marvel’s website by writer Benjamin Percy, Skinner is a rogue Yautja warrior with no allegiance to any code or clan, making him an ideal terrifying adversary for the kind-hearted Peter Parker. The series, adorned with artwork by Marcelo Ferreira and slated for release on April 23, 2025, chronicles Spider-Man’s efforts to maintain order in a city grappling with escalating temperatures and tensions.

As a die-hard movie buff, I can’t hide my excitement and gratitude for the chance to bring Spider-Man to life. This iconic web-slinger will now face off against the galaxy’s most formidable predators amidst the gritty urban jungle of New York City. Delving into Peter Parker’s world has been an absolute joy, and I can’t wait to infuse it with my unique twist on his relationships – particularly with MJ, Jonah Jameson, and (you bet your life) Kraven.

In simpler terms, Marvel’s new series is set during a citywide blackout caused by a heatwave in New York City, where Spider-Man is patrolling amidst rising tensions. However, beneath the grime of the city’s sewers and subways, there’s a danger that’s unlike anything Peter Parker has encountered before.

In this third part of Marvel’s collaboration with Predator, stories continue such as the chase of an invincible X-Man by an alien hunter, and another where the warrior race attacked the royal family of Wakanda. Percy praises Ferreira for his ability to portray Spider-Man visually in a captivating way, and he shares that designing a unique Predator has added enjoyment to the process.

In the latest installment, artwork by Paulo Siqueira and Ryan Brown graces the covers, while Pepe Larraz and Marte Gracia provide a variant image showcasing the Predator carrying Spider-Man over the Empire State Building. Percy has given hints that further hunting adventures could be on the horizon, indicating potential plans for a physically fitting opponent encounter in future editions.

Some might doubt whether Spider-Man can prevail against such a powerful adversary, but his nimbleness and smarts could be crucial elements that swing the fight in his favor. The series is set to deliver what Marvel calls “one of the most intense battles ever seen in Spider-Man lore,” as our friendly neighborhood hero takes on this unparalleled danger within his own turf.
