Green Lantern War Journal #1 – A new Green Lantern series starring John Stewart. Writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson and artist Montos will introduce a new villain. Even MORE of a reason to grab this one.
Superman #6 – A new Superman villain is introduced. Maybe THIS will be a new breakout villain within the Superman gallery? It’s been way too long since collectors have received that new Supes villain they can go bonkers over. Please be it this time. We’ll have to wait until Tuesday or Wednesday.
Predator Vs. Wolverine #1 – Well, it’s finally happening. It took four long years. It’s been four years since Disney officially bought out 21st Century Fox (a mere 71 billion dollars) and earned the rights to an enormous amount of characters they never had before. It wasn’t until the middle of last year that Disney’s comic book division, Marvel Comics, began their usage of the Predator character.
InvestComics gave fans a heads-up last year regarding the Predator officially entering into the Marvel U. Marvel released several variant covers of the Predator battling various heroes. The very first two variant covers released of Predator with a Marvel character were; Captain America Sentinel Of Liberty #2 and Jane Foster & The Mighty Thor #2. So, with that, we have the official/unofficial first Predator/Marvel hero mix. But you already knew this because we told you this last year, right? Here is a literal copy & paste of what we wrote in mid 2022….
…..That changes with the two comics arriving this Wednesday; Captain America Sentinel Of Liberty #2 and Jane Foster & The Mighty Thor #2. Both of these covers will provide the first look into the Predator involved with the Marvel Universe. And just like the Alien franchise, if Marvel decides to throw in an Easter egg in the background or a cave, or wherever, a Predator skull, the collectors market will go bonkers for the first Predator comic. Granted the Dark Horse comics, the original Alien and Predator first comic appearances will be in demand, but these Disney/Marvel Comics will be sought after as well. What if an Alien skull makes it to a Venom movie? Yes, that Venom/Alien cover will be untouchable. Same with any of the Predator comic covers arriving before the Predator #1 comic comes out in a couple of months.
So, with that, Predator officially enters the Marvel Universe this Wednesday. Where Marvel goes from here will be fun to watch and indicative of the speculative side of things even more so. If Marvel runs with this idea of pitting the Predator against various Marvel characters, formidable opponents, not Predator vs. Cyclops, we could be leading to something special here. Predator vs. Venom pops into mind here. Then throw Marvel’s other franchise in the mix there too, Alien, and you have three alien races fighting it out. That would be delicious.
And for more speculation goodness, we’ve spoken at length about the Alien and Marvel Hero covers as well a few years ago, but we’re going to give the Predator character his time to shine a bit. But, we leave you with two of the baddest “first appearance” Alien/Marvel character covers from 2021 that should be in your collection. Amazing Spider-Man #56 and Venom #32.
Uncanny Spider-Man #1 – The very first appearance of the Spider-Man/Nightcrawler mash-up character. Writer Simon Spurrier and artist Lee Garbett start things off.
Wonder Woman #1 – Writer Tom King explains that in this new series, Wonder Woman will get her “Lex Luthor” adversary for the first time in her comic book history. Artist Daniel Sampere will contribute to this groundbreaking(?) villain. Will readers/collectors get their first look at this new villain right out of the gate? Maybe so. Either way, comic fans should stay on top of this series, it could break the internet if done correctly. Will this be WW’s Venom, Joker, Lex, Zoom, Magneto, Loki…? You get the idea. Hopefully, this will be THE one this week, as it is for Superman too. More on that in a bit. UPDATE: 9/19/23: The unofficial first appearance of Wonder Woman’s new villain (Sovereign) is actually in last week’s new Superman Lost #6. At the end of the issue, there are preview pages of Wonder Woman #1 and the pages contain the very first look at Sovereign.
