Predator Versus Wolverine #1 review









Wolverine, unlike Benjamin Percy, is very well versed in Predator movies. A big fan! The diminutive Canadian has streamed them all on small screens, multiple times. He also clearly read all the Dark Horse comics, even the unpublished Predator: The Original Screenplay adaptation by Jeremy Barlow and Patrick Blaine.

Logan knows everything about the demons who make trophies of men, even that they are called the Yautja and Marvel's favourite son is not impressed. LOL.


What I did like:


Old Painless makes an appearance. Kinda.

Krull (1983) homage.

The Predator (1987) score by Alan Silvestri was playing in my head.

Predator vs Wolverine #3 will feature art by Japanese Transformers artist superstar Kei Zama!


What I did not like:


A big cat would stay clear from a weird 7 foot tall alien wearing fishnet and a metal codpiece.

A dead Predator still holding his own weapon? AND the weapons that killed him are still stuck to him? LOL

No Peter Cullen cameo!

No Anna Gonsalves!

No Franco Columbu medic!

Killing animals that bring no sport at all. Extremely lame!

A hunter disrespecting his kill. Both Marvel editors should get fired for this.

A Predator only strings up skinned humans. It's an intimidation tactic.

Wolverine not frightened/curious that he's got green fluorescent blood on his claws or that he's fighting an extraterrestrial being.

What looks more ridiculous, the brightly coloured black ops "Team X" or their idiotic artillery?

A Predator riding a killer whale was probably the dumbest thing I've ever seen in a Marvel comic.

The price! $7.99 is completely insane for Greg Land's "art"! It should be free, just like Willy!

I give it a 1/10. An Orca (1977) vs Predator comic in 2024 written by Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer? Do it, Disney. I double predator dog dare you! Anytime... Anytime...

Transformers #28 (2023) review

Kirkman Kills The Transformers! Well, not all of them, yet! With Robert Kirkman’s Void Rivals having launched Skybound’s Energon Universe, he now takes the writing reins of the flagship Transformers comic series as well, with Dan Mora now on pencils and Mike Spicer still on colors. In this twenty-eighth issue, Megatron has a freakout, Arcee gets a promotion, Miles Mayhem tries his darndest to get a spin-off, and SOMEONE DIES. FOR REAL. PERMANENTLY. Whut-oh. Yeah, Kirkman finally gives in to his Walking Dead and Invincible pedigree and brings on the gore here, for both human and Transformer alike! After I felt like he was being remarkably restrained for his first three issues, he really goes for it here and it’s... I dunno... kind of on the nose, maybe? I guess he wanted to show that his run will be chock-full of consequences too, but I feel maybe his choice of victim was a little flawed and a real shame. The victim is a Transformers character that is known for getting the shaft usually...
