Preview of Marvel Comics' PREDATOR VS. SPIDER-MAN Introduces a Yautja known as “Skinner”

The Predator has faced some of Marvel’s toughest warriors before with Wolverine, Black Panther, and now, Spider-Man. But the stakes are higher, and the enemy is unlike any Spidey has ever encountered. In Predator vs. Spider-Man, Peter Parker is about to go head-to-head with the most brutal Yautja yet, who is refered to as Skinner.Skinner is a rogue Yautja without a clan or honor, making him even more dangerous. While other Predators follow a strict code, this one operates outside the rules, making him a chilling and deadly adversary for Spider-Man.For those who think Spidey’s world is too lighthearted for a Predator crossover, history says otherwise. The 80s and 90s delivered some of the darkest Spider-Man stories, from Kraven’s Last Hunt to the twisted threats of Venom and Carnage. If you ever learned what a spleen was from Venom’s promise to eat one, you know that Spidey’s rogues’ gallery can get brutal. So, dropping a Yautja into Peter’s life totally works.Writer Benjamin Percy experessed his excitment for the comic saying: “Spider-Man is at the top of every writer’s wishlist. I’m thrilled and grateful to get this opportunity, putting this beloved webslinger against the galaxy’s greatest hunters in the urban wilderness of New York.“It’s so much fun to live in Peter Parker’s world and to put my own wild spin on his relationship with Mary Jane, J.
