Wakanda Is Prey in Predator Versus Black Panther

In 2023, the Predator franchise crossed over with Marvel Comics in Predator Versus Wolverine. Now, the Yautja seek fresh prey and have set their sights on Wakanda . This will push T’Challa into a war to save his people in Predator Versus Black Panther .

The four-issue limited series will pit T’Challa against an army of Predators. The alien hunters seek to upgrade their arsenals with the metal known on Earth as vibranium. This sets up an invasion that will test the technology and ingenuity of the Wakandans and the Yautja.

Writer Benjamin Percy believes that the miniseries will satisfy fans of both franchises. “If you’re a comics nerd, I will feed you. If you’re a movie nerd, I will feed you too. And if you’ve never read or seen anything about Predator or Black Panther , you can get fed as well,” Percy promised in an interview with io9 . “I want these to be evergreen titles, and the best way to accomplish that is to honor legacy while not overly burdening the reader with continuity homework.”
