A newPredatorseries is taking an ambitious approach to the franchise, following the Yautja’s hunt across different eras.From the modern day to prehistoric Earth, no time period will be off the table.Following theimmense success of 2022’sPrey- set in 1719 - fans have been begging the franchise to take this approach. Now, they’re getting what they wanted, with the Yautja taking on medieval knights, modern-day arms manufacturers and, yes, dinosaurs.
The newPredator: Black, White & Bloodis a four-issue anthology series, using only a single color to tell blood-soaked stories of the Yautja across time and space.

The comic will be published by Marvel under its20th Century Studiosimprint.
The newPredatorseries follows the chillingAlien: Black, White & Blood, and will appear in the same style asWolverine: Black, White & BloodandCarnage: Black, White & Blood. Each issue will see multiple creative teams tackling different eras of Yautja game-hunting humans, with issue #1 covering the Australian frontier, Arthurian legend and a modern international weapons industry conference.Marvelpromises"the Predator’s most terrifying hunts"and"the fiercest kills the spaceways have ever seen."

Predators Attack Across Time, As Fans See the Full History of Yautja on Earth
Yes, We’re Getting Predator vs Dinosaurs
As advertized in Paolo Villanelli’s awesome variant cover, above, this time-hopping anthology will seemingly see the Yautja hunt not just humans, but Earth’sothermasters, the dinosaurs, witha Yautja in the jaws of a towering T-Rex. There’s a staggering amount of potential to unleashing the Predators across all of human history, similar to the exciting approach Dynamite is taking withits currentTerminatorseries, with Skynet’s killing machines turning up everywhere from the Vietnam War to WWII.
ThePredatorfranchise is custom-made for this kind of exhilarating anthology approach. Since Yautja culture is based on the twin pillars of honor and hunting prowess, members of the deadly species have every reason to visit Earth looking for worthy prey, with every era and culture offering a different challenge. This is an approachDark Horse explored with thePredatorlicenseback in the ’90s, but with the greatest talent of today’s comic industry on board for the ride.
Ever sincePrey,Predatorfans have been hoping to see the same approach applied to different time periods, dreaming ofYautja taking on samurai, vikings and the Roman legion. Now, thanks toPredator: Black, White & Blood #1, that’s exactly what they’re getting - hopefully sparking some great ideas that will make the leap to TV and film.
Predator: Black, White & Blood #1is coming from Marvel Comics August 18, 2025.
