Marvel Comics Cancels Orders For Predator #1, Delays Until November

Published Thu, 01 Apr 2021 16:30:57 -0500

Marvel Comics recently solicited the new Predator comic book, following their successful launch of Alien #1 (with over 300,000 orders). But only a few days after the solicitations for the new series went live, Marvel has announced that all orders for Predator #1 have been cancelled. The same goes for the Marvel Vs Predator variant covers planned to be running across Marvel Comics in May. They will all be rescheduled for November 2021. The orders for the Predator Omnibus, collecting Dark Horse Comics' Predator comic books has also had its orders cancelled, though does not yet have a new schedule. No reasons have yet been given and I have not received comment from Marvel at time of press.

This will be a major hole for Marvel Comics in May and June, both a comic book likely to sell over 200,000, a larger retailer exclusive variant cover programme, twenty Marvel Vs Predator cover variants for everything from Heroes Reborn to X-Men to Black Cat, and a massive Omnibus, all being shifted from Q2 to Q4, which won't be great for cashflow. Here's what the solicitations for Predator #1 and the Predator Omnibus looked like.
