Predator’s Newest Hunt Officially Begins Today as Frank Castle Enters the Crossover
A hunt in New York
Frank Castle is accustomed to investigating the deaths of New York mobsters, and in many cases, he is responsible for them. This time, he learns another hunter has reached his targets first and taken the kills as trophies.
The discovery draws Castle into a confrontation with the Predator. The first issue gives him a reason to investigate what happens when the alien begins killing the crime bosses he has pursued.
A different kind of opponent
Marvel has previously sent the Yautja after Wolverine, Black Panther and Spider-Man. Castle lacks Wolverine’s healing and cannot sense an invisible hunter approaching. His advantage is experience with the people the Predator has chosen as prey. He understands how New York’s crime bosses operate, setting up a different kind of contest.
First issue details
Predator vs. Punisher #1 is written by Frank Tieri and illustrated by Jesús Saíz. The 32-page issue starts a four-part miniseries and is the first time Marvel has matched Frank Castle against the Predator.
Dustin Weaver illustrated the main cover, and the issue has a retail price of $5.99. It is out today, November 11.
