Published Thu, 21 Apr 2022 10:08:11 -0500

In April 2021, Bleeding Cool broke the news that Marvel Comics was pulling its newly planned Predator comic book launch for July 2021 from Ed Brisson and Kev Walker, the variant cover promotional campaign running in June, and the Predator Omnibus reprinting the Dark Horse series also planned for July. No reason was given, and the rescheduling date of November 2021 came and went. But then we read the Hollywood Reporter's splash the movie's writers, Jim and John Thomas, suing Disney to reclaim the rights to Predator from Disney. We then got the word that the lawsuit had been settled and that Marvel Comics were very aware of this fact.

The Predator Omnibus reprinting the Dark Horse comic books was rescheduled for May 31st 2021. then Marvel changed the schedule. The Predator Omnibus has now been rescheduled for the 13th of September 2022, over a year after the original date. And now we know that The Predator #1, the new Marvel Comics series, has been rescheduled for July 2022.

Here are the new solicitations for Predator #1 for July 2022 and the Dark Horse-reprinting Omnibus for September. There are also Predator variant covers solicited for many books across July's solicits.
