Disney owns Marvel Comics, so when Disney acquired 20th Century Fox that meant the comic book rights for Fox properties like Predator ended up in the hands of Marvel. Marvel Comics will be publishing all-new Predator stories later this year – and in the meantime, they're building up to that with a series of variant covers that will show Predators hunting heroes from the Marvel universe throughout the month of May.
The "Predator vs. Marvel heroes" covers were created by the likes of Cory Smith, Superlog, Junggeun Yoon, Juan José Ryp, Mattia De Iulis, and Chris Sprouse.
Here are the details and the dates the comics will be reaching store shelves:
