Will Marvel Comics' Predator Be Rescheduled For May 2022?

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. Last month we all got the word that the lawsuit had been settled and that Marvel Comics were very aware of this fact.

Now we see that the Predator Omnibus reprinting the Dark Horse comic books is still rescheduled for May 31st 2021. That is also the next soonest month that Marvel can schedule comic books for. Which means, if we read the tea leaves correctly, that Predator #1 will also be rescheduled for May 2021 as well. Here are the original solicitations for that the Dark Horse-reprinting Omnibus. Cross fingers…
