Spider-Man faces one of his most dangerous foes yet in the upcoming Predator vs. Spider-Man, a four-issue limited series launching this April. Written by Benjamin Percy and illustrated by Marcelo Ferreira, the story introduces a Predator like no other, named “Skinner.” With no code, no clan, and an unrelenting thirst for violence, Skinner promises to push Spider-Man to his limits.
Predator vs. Spider-Man: What to Expect
Set against the backdrop of a sweltering New York City heatwave and a citywide blackout, Peter Parker swings into action as tensions rise across the city. Beneath the streets, in the sewers and subway tunnels, lurks the alien hunter. Different from anything Spider-Man has encountered, Skinner’s brutal tactics make him a nightmare opponent.
Benjamin Percy describes Spider-Man as a dream character to write, promising a story filled with intense action and deep character moments. Percy hints at twists involving Mary Jane, Jonah Jameson, and even Kraven the Hunter. Marcelo Ferreira’s dynamic art style brings the chaos of the battle and the heart of Peter Parker to life. Percy fills in Marvel.com:
“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 MJ, Jonah Jameson, and (yes — oh, hell yes) Kraven. Marcelo Ferreira captures the visual dynamism of Spidey so well, and we’ve had a lot of fun designing a Predator that is unlike any other. This Yautja — who we’re calling Skinner — has no code or clan. He’s the perfect nightmarish foil to the big-hearted Parker.”

A Predator Unlike Any Other
Skinner is a Predator that breaks tradition. In contrast to the honor-bound hunters fans have seen before on the big screen, Skinner operates purely on instinct and bloodlust. Percy and Ferreira designed the character to serve as a terrifying counterpoint to Spider-Man’s sense of responsibility and morality.
Fans can expect visceral battles and a test of Spider-Man’s endurance as he faces this relentless new foe.

The series features a main cover by Paulo Siqueira and a variant by Ryan Brown, both showcasing the epic clash. Fans can preorder Predator vs. Spider-Man #1 at their local comic shops now to secure a copy of what promises to be one of Spider-Man’s most intense stories yet.
