Will Marvel Comics’ Predator be rescheduled for September 2022?
|
In April 2021, Bleeding Cool announced that Marvel Comics was pulling their new project Predator comic launch for July 2021 from Ed Brisson and Kev Walkerthe variant cover promotional campaign that aired in June and the Omnibus Predator Dark Horse series reprint also slated for July. No reason was given, and the postponement date of November 2021 has come and gone. But then we read the Hollywood Reporter’s splash on the film’s screenwriters, Jim and John Thomas, sue Disney to recover the rights to Predator from Disney. Last month, we all learned that the lawsuit had been settled, and Marvel Comics was very aware of that fact.
the Omnibus Predator the reprint of the Dark Horse comics was still delayed to May 31, 2021. Which is still the next closest month that Marvel can schedule comics for. We suggested that this could mean that Predator #1 will also be delayed to May 2021 as well. However, shortly after this article, Marvel changed the schedule. The predatory omnibus has now been postponed to September 13, 2022, more than a year after the original date. Which also suggests that the new date that Marvel Comics will start publishing new comics could be September or August 2022.
Here are the original solicitations for Predator #1 and the Dark Horse Reprint Omnibus. Cross fingers…
